[AT&T] Straight Talk/Net10 Official Data Caps Announced

They're also offering a free switch to their T-Mobile SIM, which remains uncapped.

I'm on Net10's AT&T SIM, and my wife is on Straight Talk's. Neither of us have come close to 1.5 GB in a month, including sporadic tethering when traveling, but I guess this will be an issue for some.

The pricing still beats most of the AT&T MVNOs (just bought a Net10 refill for $41.99 on eBay today).

If you can't open it, you don't own it.

I have both sim cards; T-mobile was faster in the city while Att had better coverage. T-mobile would not roam onto att for voice or data. Att works everywhere I have been so far without roaming.

Waiting for the GS4 to hit in March to drive prices down on the GN2.

Not going to be away from wifi long enough to use 1.5GB

I need more data than that. Tmobile only offers 2G here. The only 3G here is AT&T and verizon

throttles to 2G after 500MB of usage. No good

reply to SysOp
$45 for 1.5gb data, talk and text plus att coverage, it's the best value for me.

reply to SysOp

You are correct. Since América Móvil is TracFone, NET10 Wireless, Straight Talk, SafeLink Wireless, SIMPLE Mobile and Telcel América, it was a good bet it's the same cap. Time will tell.

They own Simple Mobile? That might explain the uncapped T-Mobile data. Or it's because T-Mobile merged with MetroPCS?

With no caps, and hspa coverage in most urban areas, they have the potential to steal customers away from DSL. To ensure bandwidth, I could even see them striking deals using the Clearwire microwave network to supplement back haul.

Just for my info do both ST and TMobile offerings include use of a micro sim card for an iphone 4?
Thanks.

Give them a call and report back. But I haven't seen anything suggesting they do. I think it has to do with the older iphones 3G frequency not compatible with TM.

I currently have a Nokia e71 (StraightTalk phone that runs under ATT network) sim card in my iPhone 4s.

Wondering if new customers with iPhones running on ST(ATT) get the TMO sim will they need to unlock the phone or it will run on 2G/Edge speeds?

There's another network called Solavei which runs under TMO and difference between that and others is that this one has MMS capabilities working out the box no need for apn settings

reply to SysOp
are there any other providers that offer a full 2GB data

If urban then check into tmobile or virgin/boost mobile. If rual check into page plus or net10 using verizon.

With wifi at home, at work, at school, and at local hotspots why would you need so much cellular data?

No one needs cellular data unless its for business. If its for business then make them pay what ever it cost and dont look back.

My company refused to pay for my cell phone. So I removed my company email from being sent to my phone and changed my number. Now my company only has my land line. I love it. Want to call text email while I am off or away from the office? Then pay for my cell phone!

there is no open wifi around me and satellte is the only option.
