Hi All!
Recently, Straight Talk wireless released sim cards that you could install in any phone you want. The plan they offer for these sims is the $45 a month, unlimited talk, text, and data.
Who/What Is StraighT Talk?
So who is Straight Talk? Straight Talk is a prepaid service provider, whose sim cards run on AT&T or T-Mobile. If you have an iPhone or other AT&T phone, purchase the AT&T sim. If you have a T-Mobile Android or Windows phone, purchase the T-Mobile phone. The sim cards cost $15. You can port your number over to Straight Talk as well. Just be sure to port the number before you activate the sim. Once the sim has been activated, you can't change the number. Also note that your iPhone doesn't need to be unlocked, you can use a regular AT&T locked iPhone.
Instructions!
You can purchase a sim card from Straight Talk: Welcome | Straight Talk
If you have an iPhone 4/4s, purchase a Micro Sim, for all other iPhones purchase the regular sim.
Once you receive the sim, activate it here: http://www.straighttalk.com/
Once activated, talk and text will work, but data probably won't. You need need a wifi connection to get data and MMS working. To fix data, use your iPhone browser and go to: www.unlockit.co.nz. Tap continue, then custom APN. Find and select Straight Talk, and then select Create APN. Select Install on the next screen. Or, if you're Jailbroken, install TetherMe from Cydia, and you can manually enter the APN settings. Go to: Settings-General-Network-Cellular Data Network. Enter the APN settings in the Activation booklet Straight Talk includes with the sim.
After you complete this step, reboot your phone. If data still doesn't work, call 1-855-222-2355. That is the best Straight Talk customer support department(Trust me, I've called a few times) Just tell them that the APN settings are correct, and that data isn't working.
AT&T APN Settings:
Field Settings:
Name: straight talk
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
Perks:
Although Straight Talk states "Unlimited", they will stop your account if you use more than 2GB's a month. Many people also recommend that you don't use more than 100MB a day. I use WeeTrackData from Cydia to track my data usage. There are a few data tracking apps in the App Store as well. It is also against Straight Talk terms to tether.
