Straight talk has t-mobile no? I was just wondering.

i have been getting slow internet speeds on my 4s....any solutions? i dont go over 300 mb per month

Does anyone know anyway to find cheap refill cards? It seems it used to have discounted refill card on ebay but now people pay more than the face value, why? Am I the only one missing something?

For those who is using Straight Talk right now, where do you get your refill cards?

anyone picking up an iphone 5 with this?

I just tried Straight Talk with the new HTC One X I picked up and was pretty disappointed. The data connection was very intermittent. I use the voice command feature very frequently to call places and startup navigation and I'd say it did not work for me >50% of the time. Meanwhile I still have my old Atrix on AT&T simultaneously and it worked >95% of the time. Meaning I would try the Straight Talk phone, nothing. Then try my AT&T phone and get it to work. I even did tests where I simultaneously recorded my voice on both and AT&T always won. Anybody else have connections problems like this? Or is it that you get what you pay for?

Yes. it is the AT&T branded HTC One X

If you have an AT&T Straight Talk sim, you get the same service post paid customers get. If your getting slow data make sure you are in an AT&T HSPA+ area. If you are in an Edge only area your speeds will be slow with any phone.

Make sure you set up the APN properly, restarted the device after... if all else fails, update your firmware on the phone and re enter the the APN info.

Knocking on wood, but our 2 devices are working rock solid! One thing though, on my device, there are times where I have to restart it or turn on airplane mode and turn it off sometimes when the data goes slowly.

I just need 1 point of clarification. Sorry, I have read alot of this, but did not see the answer. I have WiFi in my house & obviously we can get WiFi in many places.

If I'm connected to the internet using a WiFi connection, then am I free to do w/e I want and not worry about the 2 GB cap white using this plan? Like can I download apps, stream, or w/e since I'm connected to a WiFi connection & not using the Straight Talk 2 gb? The way I understand it is that while using any carriers plan, if you're picking up WiFi it will not eat into your data allotment. Maybe I am wrong.

I know this seems like an elementary question, but I've never had a cell phone that can use internet, so I would not even know.

Also, most smartphones have options to automatically connect to WiFi if its available right? That way, jumping on this plan and enabling this setting is even added protection against eating into the 2 gb cap?

Thanks!

Yes, WiFi does not count against your data. ST only cares about when you are using their data.

BTW, why is this thread in the deal talk section?
