Wow, this brings one question to mind. I know some people who have put
their ATT phones on TMobile, but it's Edge network only. Does Straight Talk
support 3G? If so then I'm gone when my contract is up.

I thought this forward was pretty cool. The good stuff is a little way down
the thread, so keep reading.

Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster here. :) Smiles!
I'm not familiar with the rest of this thread regarding Straight Talk, so I
apologize if I repeat any information. Now, onward...
Recently, about two weeks ago, I took the plunge and purchased a new iPhone
4s 64GB locked to AT&T. I bought the phone outright off of eBay for $650.
Despite my reservations about the decision, it had arrived in great and
unused condition; original manufacturer's warranty still valid along with an
option to purchase an extended warranty. I'll go for SquareTrade's iPhone
warranty as it covers up to four claims compared to Apple's two at the same
price point. Note that your miles may vary on Ebay; even with buyer
protection, always observe caution and be smart when it comes to ordering
online. It's less hassle that way. :) Smiles!
Before I purchased the iPhone, I had researched for cell plans, and I
stumbled upon a company called Straight Talk and discovered their "Bring
Your Own Phone" option. For about $15, I can purchase a SIM or micro SIM
card that works either on unlock phones, or on AT&T or TMoble compatible
phones. I chose the proper micro SIM card for an AT&T compatible phone.
There was no need to unlock my phone or use a SIM card interposer in order
to use my iPhone with another service. And, since Straight Talk buys
minutes and data at wholesale from other carriers, AT&T being one of them,
the phone service is expected to be just as good due to the same cell towers
that are used. The monthly $45 unlimited voice, text, and data plan sounds
pretty good even with the fine print. Most importantly, during activation
of the Straight Talk micro SIM card, there is an option to port my original
phone number over.
Having been with AT&T for a long time, I didn't want to be on another
contract or continue to use their overpriced plans. So, I decided to go
with the Straight Talk option.
So, there is my first post to this group. I hope my experience with getting
a prepaid plan with Straight Talk on my iPhone 4s locked to AT&T was
helpful.
Cheers and drink up,
Thien Van Vu
