Straight Talk to Allow Any GSM Phone on the $45 Unlimited Plan

still going strong after about 2 years with iphones

Looking to get rid of my horrible sprint service. Not decided if I should go T-mobile or AtT route. But on straighttalk.com if I choose a phone/plan bundle, do I still have to buy a sim separately? If not, how do they decide which one I get?

And once I try the AT&T, can I switch to T-mobile from the next month - without going through number porting, activation etc?

Thanks guys.

You have to buy a sim from the link in the OP. If you want T-Mobile, get a T-Mobile sim... If you want to try AT&T, you will need to buy another sim for AT&T... each cost you $15. (Obviously must have unlocked phone)

If you think you might be changing providers back and forth a lot, you can port your # to google, then you won't have to worry about porting ever again... otherwise, yes, you will have to port your # back and forth.

Just check out your area coverage...

I'm here in Orlando where AT&T 4G coverage is awesome, and I couldn't be happier switching from sprint to straight talk.

Well, I'm confused.

Where I live, AT&T has better coverage than T-Mobile. People with AT&T phones never complain about coverage; people with T-Mobile phones are always wandering to the edge of the building to try to get a signal.

But when I go to Straight Talk's website and put my zip code in, it only gives me one choice for a SIM card: T-Mobile. No matter what I do, I can't seem to actually buy an AT&T SIM from them. I checked ebay, and there's nothing for sale below, or even AT, what ST sells cards for directly. What do I have to do to buy the SIM card I want at retail price? Seems like it shouldn't be this complicated...

Straight Talk took down the AT&T sims. You can still buy them on Walmart.

Why did they take them down? Is there a reason I should avoid going that route?

Not sure. I ordered from Walmart but it hasn't arrived yet.
