Total Wireless StraightTalk is owned by the same parent company as TracFone, NET10, StraightTalk Total Wireless, SIMple Mobile, Page Plus, etc. (America Movil), and there's a reason why I don't include AM brands in the guide - customer service is terrible.You're far better off going with Selectel or BYO Wireless anything else from the guide if you're looking for a cheap Verizon MVNO.
