I had about the same experience with the corporate RS stores around here, the
only one I ever went to, and still do is the one mentioned, and I agree with
you on straight talk. and it used to be that way with Virgin Mobile, and thats
the only way I would go is prepaid, until Sprint bought out VM. Then I ended up
having to drop them because their customer service got shotty, and they liked
to try to rip you off every chance they would get.

It's a sad situation that it is that way now. we have a nice Hamfest here in
Dalton every year. thats about the only way to really get all the stuff you
need besides going online. but call me old fashioned, I like to put my hands on
something before purchasing it.
