Will straighttalk sim work with n900 and the unlimited plan?

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

if it is a normal simcard, why shouldn't it work?

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

Frequencies might not give it full 3G data access, only EDGE/GPRS. And unfortunately, I fear that's the case.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

if you do a google search you can find straighttalk and iphone and the $45 unlimited plan. I was thinking if it works with iphone would it work with n900?

3G or EDGE?

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

if it works in iphone for 3g, it will be edge for n900.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

definetly edge since its piggy backing on att network

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

Have a look at the "Monthly 4G" plans by t-mobile. They are unlimited as well and for $50.- you get 100MB data with 4G speed and after that it drops to edge.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

can you say how you got it to work? I sent pm but if you can share it with everybody it would be great. and how long have you been using it?

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

this is all you need:
APN: att.mvno
everything else blank, i tried mms settings but doesnot work and i gave up, dont really use it anyway.

Ive been using for well over 2 months now, end of sepetember will be 3 or 2 i cant recall.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

Can you transfer any number over to straight talk?

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

yes you can if you are willing to wait ~12 - ~15 HRS for porting to go through

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

and data plan? how much internet usage do you get?

i was looking at the unlimited plans and they look pretty good.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

It has been said that not to go over 135mb a day in usage and try to limit it to 2gb a month, using n900 with edge its pretty hard to hit the 135mb a day, and i seldom use youtube and such in a phone.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

Just update and codos to somedude, I got n900 to work with straighttalk including voice, sms, data and mms! message me if you need help.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

I would like to know. Could PM you, but figured others would like the info too, so might as well post here.

Thanks :)

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

Well in case anyone is wondering about this too I sent firstohit a PM & will post details if I receive them.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

for web:
apn : att.mvno
username: blank
password: blank

for mms:
acess point name: whatever you want but i have AT&T MMS
mmsc: http://mmsc.cingular.com
username: blank
password: blank
http proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
port number: leave it blank, and it will add 80 by itself later, i tried adding 80 myself and it didnot work very weird so i reset the settings and then left it blank, tried again it worked and when i went back to look at the settings 80 was added.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

firstohit responded to my PM, and just to add some tips to somedude's post about getting MMS to work, here is what I received:

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

For the ones wondering the settings I provided works perfectly with N9 too.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

I know this is an older thread, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if you need to buy a specific Straight Talk phone to snag the SIM card or can you just buy the cheapest Straight Talk phone for the SIM card?

Thanks!

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

Originally you had to buy one of the smartphones to get a sim card, such as the E71 or an Android. Now Straight Talk sells the card separately.
I purchased one from Wal-Mart directly and it works great! :D

Note: they also have a micro sim that should work with the n9.

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

I have had the sim from the Nokia E71 from walmart and its working great. I also have it tested with other phones

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

Nowadays one can get free wifi at numerous places. I recently bought a refurbished FreedomPop Pro (3g/4g) hotspot for the rare occasions where I can't get free connection. For an one time cost of $40, I get 500 MB every month for free that I can use on 5 devices. I am currently vacationing abroad. When I get back, I plan to cancel my current $25 H2O account and get a $10 Airvoice talk-only account. The hotspot is small and can easily be put in my pocket.

Got a byop kit from walmart, $64 = 45min talk time + $15 sim card. Pop the sim card (atnt) in n900, activated. worked like a charm. phone/internet/gps without a glitch. Anybody knows how to tether?

Switch to Nitroid, wifi worked, cell data did not.

Welcome back to the board, bun. Did GSM coverage improve in your area enough to go back to the N900?

Re: ???StraightTalk $45 unlimited txt+talk+data???
 

I dont know. But I am travelling to a place where VirginMobile wont work, choice are Verizon $70/month vs StraingtTalk $45/month. So I pick Straighttalk. It worked on 1st try. Activated the card and put down my hard earned $45, here we go. THe 900 works like a charm, only 2.5G though. The whole n900 worked, map/surf web/phone etc. Kind of surprise, just like the old days. Also Nitroid booted up too, OMG, after 1 year. Nostalgic :)

Just checking back, on and off. Wish I can have the N9 to play with :(

How life been treating you?
