Yes alot of people do have it. I do admit when I see people with iPhones or Droids or any of the fancy phones out there these days, I do get a little jealous. But my fake blackberry (lol) is really all I need. I have purchased the $30 before and do not run out of talk or text minutes, but usually run out of internet time about a week before my end date. But I say straight talk is the way to go! ;)
