So all this time I thought that Straight Talk was ATT strictly.. til my bro in law just told me I can purchase a T mobile Sim Card and use it.
http://www.shopstraighttalk.com/bpd...cards&zip=32707&market=GSM5&locale=en&lang=EN
45$, unlimited text mins and web, no contract. Does anyone have this Straight Talk plan with a t mobile sim card?
If so, what kind of Web Speeds do they offer? Is it T mobiles Hspa 42.2 mbps 4g or what?
Also is it truly unlimited web? or do they throttle after certain GB of use?

Yeah I had them for a few years, last year it got bad after the iPhone it got even worse so I wouldn't recommended them at all, tmobile got some dead spots sometimes but is much much better than sprints

Just to confirm straight Talk does have limits on their "unlimited web"
They just don't specifically tell you when.. But when they do feel like you've used too much data they just throttle you. That's an email from them.

How much does it cost you a month?..I'm on straight talk and do far i like it but haven't really used it on the road yet..
I had Sprint last week and decided to get rid of them cause their data speeds was soooo bad.. so far though I'm happy with straight talk. The girl i bought my phone off she mentioned simple mobile which runs of T-Mobile towers. And idea about them?..

well, I am using simple Mobile $60. unlimited everything, but they throttle you when they feel you are using too much data. max speed I got around 16 Mb, by the way I live in Houston.

You're probably on the unlimited data with 5gb of 4g then after 5gb they throttle you.
But now t mobile has a data plan that is supposed to be truly unlimited.. No throttle

You sir, are correct.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I've been using Straight Talk with the T-Mobile compatible sim for about 4 months now and I've never been throttled. I regularly use around 6-8gb of data a month and have never had any trouble. Speeds are exactly on par with what you get on T-Mobile.
However, there are rumblings of Straight Talk throttling on the AT&T compatible sim card.

People should really get out of the habit of using marketing catch-phrases with "G's" in them. There is no 3G or 4G. There is HSPA+ and there is LTE. GoPhone does NOT offer LTE service (yet), but you WILL get HSPA+ service.
Who is the video on hspa+ is like tmobile or faster

I work for AT&T, the largest Gophone data plan right now is 1GB. If you stuck a Gophone SIM in the N2, there's a chance the data wouldn't even work. I've heard this from many customers with various smartphones. Talk and text works but data doesn't. Not sure why. But as stated, no LTE for Gophones right now.

Data cap on NET10 using an AT&T sim is 1.5GB
There is no 3G/4G or LTE service for NET10 on a Tmobile sim.
You would be stuck with 2G/Edge GSM network.
Have fun!
I thought it supported 4g on tmobile

I think he gave you wrong information.
But from what I have heard, you're able to get 3g and sometimes HSDPA on AT&T, but no LTE
and as for T-Mobile, You should be able to get 4g and is supposedly unlimited but people have said you might get throttled at 2gb? not entirely sure.
Seriously considering going to straight talk wondering how to flash over.
If you have a clean ESN you can just pay 15 dollars to straight talk to have them add the esn in the system
