Am considering a secondary DATA plan for those occasions when the #2 company is not getting the job done so I was looking at the display just yesterday

Straight Talk's coverage map looks a whole lot like a Verizon Commercial (Verizon covreage map) So I suspect ST uses Verizon.. Sadly the data plans are out of budget range.

A sprint phone will not work on Verizon or the other way around, about the only crossover is AT&T/T-mobile NOTE Verizon shows different coverage maps for AT&T and T-Mobile on their add.. AT&T and T-mobile have full roaming agreements. So the maps should be identical.

The coverage you get on ST depends which phone you buy. I think you figured that out, but just wanted to clarify it for others. The Verizon phones will have a red coverage map that looks just like the Verizon map. You can also tell by the model number. For older phones (non-Android, non-smartphone) model numbers ending in “C” are CDMA and will run on Verizon, whereas those ending in “G” are GSM and run on either T-Mobile or AT&T depending on the area. For the newer phones (e.g. Androids) you’ll typically see CDMA-V (“V” for Verizon), CDMA-S (“S” for Sprint), GSM-T (T-Mobile) or GSM-A (AT&T) on the bottom left corner of the box.

We've had a straight talk phone (Verizon-based) for over a year now and not noticed any difference at all from our old service. You do loose roaming (you'll be limited to Verizon "native" network same as their pre-paid phones), but the difference has been unnoticeable for us.
