I’m going to have to get a new cell phone carrier when I start at FSU in August because my present cell company (Metro PCS) doesn’t cover Tallahassee for at least another 8 months when they are supposed to get their towers operating. I’m thinking of getting Straight Talk because it is only $45/mo. for unlimited calling/texting/web use. I’d like an Iphone, but I am on a tight budget! My family has 5 cell phones on a unlimited plan with Metro for $125/mo. plus tax, but it doesn’t carry Tallahassee now.

For the new service, should I get a local Tallahassee phone number if I’m going to be a full time student at FSU, or should I get a local number for my home town in central Florida? I figured it would make more sense to get Tallahassee #, but if anyone knows of a reason I shouldn’t and instead get # for hometown, please let me know. Thanks!
