I've got more phones than fingers
2 phones I will throw out there. Both are probably on the lower end.
Pantech Crossover is $120 through Amazon. It comes with $25 airtime credit for AT&T Go Phone. So, you're paying less than $100 for the phone itself. Runs 2.3 and has a slide out keyboard.
AT&T Fusion (made by Huawei). $110 through Wal Mart's website. Does not have a lot of on board memory, so you'd need to root it and dump all the bloatware.
Why yes, that is a bag phone
Atrix is now $180 shipped at the cow place. Plenty of grade 6's. If you're gonna spend $500/yr on service might as well get a really nice phone. Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS) is available. 4" screen is nice, not too big.
Not as cheap as what you might get off CL and they're not mint but you can easily send it back for free within a month.

I didn't see that or get that impression from that thread. It would appear that if you have the T-Mobile SIM, you'll get the T-Mobile network. It may be that the unlocked SIM will only work on AT&T's network(on the purchase page, it even says that the unlocked SIM requires the 850/1900 AT&T frequencies).Originally Posted by Conan Edogawa
Basically unlike most MVNOs, ST has agreements with multiple networks instead of just one. So the T-Mobile SIM should work like you were any other T-Mo MVNO, AT&T and the unlocked SIM on AT&T's network, CDMA dumbphones on Verizon and others(biggest network), and the CDMA Smartphones(pretty much anything you'd buy from ST directly other than the E71) are on Sprint. It's a bit of an oversimplification since there are some smaller local roaming partners too, but that's the gist of it from what I read. There also may be some EDGE roaming for T-mo SIMs on AT&T and viceversa, but I haven't seen anything clear on that yet.

I thought that Straight Talk saying 850/1900 frequencies needed to be supported applied to all phones. Never thought that the wording was directed at users of the unlocked sim. In that big thread, it is almost Apple phone & At&t sim talk so I think there are only a couple of posts actually talking about the T-Mobile sim.

The Unlocked ST T-Mobile is being offered for the first tiem. We have no experience with it or the service it will provide. No one who has ordered one and received it has come foreward with any information that we could pass on to those interested.
Makes you wonder just how unpopular is T-Mobile??? With the locked SIM phones people go to great extremes Not to be stuck with T-Mobile service.
Radiation is good
Maybe it is because the Apple phone is on At&t as it seems almost no other phone is being talked about in that thread. It's all Apple phone support.
So are you saying people can get 3g service with a 3g or better T-Mobile phone and T-Mobile sim? Or, are you saying we just don't know yet?

ST is advertising that if your phone is capable you will get 3G with the T-Mobile buy-a-sim. Until someone posts their experience, we will not know for sure.

I just ordered my tmobile sim for my galaxy nexus today. Att doesnt get service in alot of places where I live so i can post some results for the tmobile sim in the next few days.
My mom bought me this phone
I have the ATT Avail and everything works but the data. I've tried everything I can find on this site and others. Has anyone else had any problems?
Radiation is good
Other people have, but it seemed they didn't properly follow the instructions of using APN Backup and Restore to completely delete APN's, then enter the new ones fresh. If you did that, and enter then new APN's perfectly, and rebooted, and made sure cellular data is enabled, and are still having problems then the issue may be on ST's end and you will need to call them.

No, with an ST SIM you get the ST network. That's a combination of AT&T and Tmo towers.
If you have a locked AT&T phone, you have to use an AT&T SIM. If you have a locked Tmo phone, you have to use a Tmo SIM. If you have an unlocked phone you can use either one.
If you use an AT&T SIM on a Tmo tower, or a Tmo phone on an AT&T tower, you're limited to Edge speed. Regardless of which SIM you have or who your provider is. (You'd have the same problem with an unlocked phone if you had a "real" AT&T or Tmo SIM.)
(There's no such thing as an "unlocked SIM" - SIMs are for a particular carrier. Phones can be locked to a specific carrier or be unlocked. It's a SIM lock - it's locked to a particular carrier's SIM.)
Where do you see an "unlocked SIM"? (Link?) There's a choice for a SIM for an unlocked phone.It may be that the unlocked SIMProbably because they send you an AT&T SIM for an unlocked phone (maybe because they pay less for them), but if you're going to be using Tmo towers, you won't get any decent data speed that way. (An 850/1900 phone can't get Tmo's 700/2100 data signals.) And if where you live there's no AT&T signal, and you have an AT&T phone, you're a fish on a bicycle.will only work on AT&T's network(on the purchase page, it even says that the unlocked SIM requires the 850/1900 AT&T frequencies).

Atrix EXCELLENT CONDITION $200 Buy it now, 4 available as wellhttp://goo.gl/JRmE1 , this is a great phone for $200, and even better if you root and unlock the bootloader then install a custom rom. Overclock it alittle be almost on par with a a galaxy s ii performance wise id say, with its 1gb ram. My moms getting a atrix and i have a galaxy s ii, im gonna make a comparison video of them both on custom roms when she gets it
