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

No, I am on the t-mobile Unlimited data plan and after 5 gigs, they throttle
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

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.

Sure, but not now cuz I returned my phone back to amazon, I had a problem with it. I am planning to get SGS3 in a few days. sure I will post speed test.
