Is the Pantech burst compatable with straight talk?

Well it is for AT&T, but LTE is NOT available through ST.
Other posters will give you more Info.

[SpellronHD]

I don't need LTE to work. 3g is fine. It seems the pantech burst uses a micro sim card slot that has an 8 pin grid instead of the usual 6. I had my straight talk sim cut to fit but the phone would not detect it. I was wondering if I order the straight talk actual micro similar card, if it would me compatible with the 8 pin slot

[Badbagger]

Samsung Focus S, Lumia 800, and HTC Titan will work with an ATT sim from ST and get 3g+

[Badbagger]

No no... I have a line on a couple for around $250 from a close friend.

So with a T-Mobile 3g phone + T-Mobile Straight Talk sim, can you get 3g data? I thought somebody in the Not a Loophole thread said that T-Mobile phones were limited to EDGE.

Great idea for a thread, very helpful!

You'll get 3G when you're on a TMobile tower. TMobile and AT&T use different frequencies for 3G so, except for the rare phone, one can't get 3G from the other's towers. Nothing to do with the SIMs.
