Has a car phone
What's the difference between them?

BYOP is authorized, so you can call customer service if you have problems. SIM swapping isn't, so you can't (not with the phone you swapped into, anyway, you have to call with the Nokia phone), and you can't SIM swap to a TMobile phone unless you have it unlocked.

Any difference as far as data speeds or being able to tether? Also, are there any data or app restrictions with the new byod plan compared to swapping sims?

Same restrictions, no streaming audio/videos, etc. Basically the Internet on your phone is for web browsing only if you go by Straight Talk's restrictions.Originally Posted by reocej
BYOD and SIM Swap have the same Terms and Conditions as listed on their web site.
Verizon 4G LTE
San Francisco | San Jose
AT&T 4G LTE

Has it been confirmed whether replacement sims are still free with the nokias? I can't see any reason to keep the e71 over the BYOP sim.

Replacement SIMs are 100% free with the ST Nokia smartphones.

You can use the Nokia Sim in a Iphone/android device without "unlocking" it. Can you do that with BYOP

Assuming you get the AT&T BYOP SIM, yes you can do that.

Does that mean that Pandora is not allowed on Straight Talk?
I can understand heavy YouTube access being restricted, or those who tether, but streaming a 64k or 128k audio stream isn't too heavy on the network. Especially since Pandora is one of the top downloaded apps from Google Market.

I stream pandora from time to time. No issues. They dont care as long as you aren't streaming/downloading 24/7.
You can do anything (aside from P2P) on straight talk as long as you keep data usage below 125mb's a day (with what I assume is a grace period if you use a little more on any given day.)
I've got my e71 listed on eBay right now. Switched to the byod and won't look back.

Yes its "not allowed". When I said restrictions in the earlier post, I mean like terms of service restrictions. They don't block anything on the network side or prevent you from using YouTube, Pandora, etc.Does that mean that Pandora is not allowed on Straight Talk?

Bottomline is they don't want you using tons of data and streaming video/music/audio/etc is bandwidth intensive.

I steam pandora almost everyday, but most of the time i'm on wifi. You can pretty much stream whatever you want as long as you keep an eye on your daily and total data consumption. There is going to be some attrition now that everybody's jumping on the byod boat. People going overboard with data and getting booted. Just keep an eye out and you shouldn't have any problems.Does that mean that Pandora is not allowed on Straight Talk?

I agree with this guy. I been over the theoretcial edge a number of times nothing bad had happened just don't make a habit of it. I don't tether at ALL on ST. No reason to even try.

ST doesn`t wait for you to use too much data, they will slam you if it appears your current rate of useage will put you over for the Month.
