Re: AT&T dropping Straight Talk due to phone unlocking law?

Below is from a chat session I had with Straight Talk after i lied about losing my Sim. Apparently they claim to be bringing them back but just sold out at the moment

> 10:39:53 AM Sybil: I regret to inform you that Straight Talk cannot replace lost SIM cards. You need to purchase another SIM card to replace your lost SIM card.

> 10:41:01 AM Sybil: I apologize to inform you that Straight Talk Wireless is not selling SIM cards that are compatible with AT&T devices at this time. We will bring them back as soon as we can and will work to keep you up to date on this issue.

> 10:42:54 AM Sybil: One moment please...
> 10:43:43 AM Sybil: Yes . However, as of the moment we still do not have the update as to when AT&T SIM card will be available with Straight Talk. On the other hand, you may visit Wal-Mart's website to check for SIM cards that are compatible with AT&T devices.

This screws me over, too.

I updated to the latest Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Captivate and looked up the settings on StraightTalk's website. There is no mention of at&t's settings at all. I had to go to archive.org to get the settings.

I am LIVID.. The only options here are at&t and Verizon. I like the SIM card option because if I wanted to upgrade my phone to a S4 (which I'm drooling over), it's easy. I doubt ST would let me put a CDMA S4 on their network.

..and T-Mobile.. Not available here. This is absolute bullsh*t. I just hope I can keep using my SIM card.
