The Straight Talk phone will work in much of the USA but not all areas.

Take a look at the Straight Talk US Coverage Area by scrolling down the page at their blog.

There is a better map showing the coverage difference between Straight Talk Non-Android phones and Straight Talk Android phones Android phones lack significant coverage in the western states.

As you probably suspect: "TracFone doesn't operate its own wireless network--instead, as an MVNO, the company essentially piggybacks on the networks of Verizon , AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T [2]) and T-Mobile USA, reselling their services under TracFone's brands, which include Straight Talk, Net10 and others"

If your concern is roaming fees: "No, your Straight Talk phone won't roam, you will be able to enjoy nationwide coverage on one of America´s best networks, at the same price of a local call."
