Boost still offers competitive international calling and text rates; Straight Talk does not offer outgoing international calling or outgoing international text messaging. In fact, Straight Talk customers who attempt to send international text messages can be deactivated.

The latest in the array of monthly unlimited prepaid plans unveiled by U.S. providers this year is Walmart's new Straight Talk wireless service. According to ovum.com this new breed of monthly prepaid plans signals intensifying competition and interest among operators in capturing customers in the growing prepaid segment. At $45 a month, Straight Talk offers what Virgin Mobile, Leap Cricket, Sprint Boost Mobile and MetroPCS don't. All have $30 monthly voice-only unlimited offerings, but none include texting and web access, which is what you get with Sraight Talk. Virgin Mobile, Leap, etc. also include an array of additional charges for services (such as roaming, long distance, call forwarding, and 411 information calls).
