[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MemphisReins29:
I have the S6 SM-S907VL, I had a Verizon S6 before I got the SM-S907VL, there is no difference in the phones as far as quality & specs go, the SM-S907VL comes with far less pre loaded apps though so it actually runs smoother & faster, the only problem that I am having with the Straight Talk phone is that there is no stock rom backup downloads or root methods for the phone, this has me really frustrated, however the phone it's is superbly smooth & fast, Straight Talks service is actually really good, I am really surprising by it actually, coming from being a Verizon Wireless customer of 15 years & then going to Team Mobile which has TERRIBLE cell service coverage & then going to AT&T which has good cell service but TERRIBLE customer service & adds all kinds of extra fees on the bill every month just like Verizon which is the whole reason that I decided to leave Verizon in the 1st place, after leaving AT&T I went with Cricket Wireless & Straight Talk Wireless, I have Straight Talk on my phone & my tablet is Cricket Wireless, I am thoroughly pleased with both carriers, Cricket is better than Straight Talk as far as cell service & speed b/c it is 4G & it is actually pretty much just as fast as AT&T's & with Crickets unlimited $70.00 plan you get unlimited 4G service & have mobile hotspot option on your device & if you connect a debit card or credit card or pre paid credit card to your Cricket account so that the bill is automatically paided each month then you get $5.00 off the bill so the bill is $65.00 a month, however Straight Talk I only pay $55.00 a month & it is now unlimited data but it is only 3G so it isn't as fast but it is surprisingly faster than I thought it would be, Straight Talk crushes Cricket when it comes to phone selection though, Crickets Phone selection is very limited as far as what they sell but of course you can bring any phone in & get it connected as long as it isn't Sprint or some of the older Verizon phones like the LG Intuitive VS950, Cricket's only good phones that they sell that I have seen are the Galaxy S series & the ZTE Grand X Max 2 & iPhone for those who are Apple fans, Straight Talk now sell a wide variety of phones, not just cheap phones either, they carry Samsung's flagship Note phones as well as the Galaxy S series as well as all the other brands flagship phoned & they carry the latest models as well as several of the older models, Straight Talks prices on the high end flagship phones are cheaper too, Crickets Prices on the S series is cheaper than Cricket but they only carry the 1 phone, the S7 is what is it at the moment, Straight Talk sells the S8 & S8 + & the Note 8 & many more, I was super resistant to leaving Verizon b/c it's cell service & customer service is hands down the best but they were getting $250.00-$400.00 a month off of me & that was just me, there were no other people on my plan, I had 2 devices, I loved Verizon & hated leaving them & struggled with it for a while afterwards, I especially struggled with being satisfied with other carriers, I was especially UNHAPPY with Team Mobiles service coverage & they did add a few extra fees on the bill & Metro Wireless cell coverage SUCKS as well & Boost Mobiles service coverage wasn't/isn't much better that Team Mobile & Metro Wireless, AT&T was almost as expensive as Verizon by the time they added all the extra monthly fees & but unlike Verizon their customer service SUCKS, after leaving AT&T & deciding to try Cricket Wireless & Straight Talk Wireless I can honestly say that I am now very happy that I left Verizon b/c I am extremely satisfied with both Cricket & Straight Talks cell service coverage, they both get service EVERYWHERE, I can be in downtown Atlanta or hours away from the city way out in the country & have no problems with cell service & I am paying way less money each month & the prices are fixed fees so there are never any extra charges & both Cricket & Straight Talk have good customer service, at this point I honestly dont know why anyone stays with with Verizon or any of the high end contract required cell carriers, it's crazy honestly, it's absurd to stay with cell companies that charge so much money each month for phone service, I now see those contract cell carriers as obsolete b/c their is truly no need for them anymore, some prepaid cell carriers have service coverage & spead that is just as good & comes with unlimited EVERYTHING for affordable prices & carry top quality mobile phones & tablets & Smartwatches.
