HTC Sensation Z710A with Straight Talk

[Kelvin Chin]

Hi, I'm planning on getting the HTC Sensation Z710A with Straight Talk. Do I have to use the sim card from a Straight Talk phone or can i just purchase an at&t compatible sim card from their website? Also, will i be getting edge speed if I were to use this phone with Straight Talk?

Doesn't the Z710a have the 3G bands for both tmobile and ATT?
I'm a bit jealous if so, lol

The HTC Sensation Z710A has AT&T 3G bands and does not get 3G on T-Mobile. You have to purchase the SIM from StraightTalkSIM.com and yes get the ST BYOD AT&T SIM.

Will I be receiving edge speed 3G if I were to get this phone HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) with the Straight Talk T-Mobile compatible Sim Card? Also, would i have to unlock the phone as well?

When you MATCH a phone made for T-Mobile with a T-Mobile SIM (service) you get the best service T-Mobile provides. You take a big chance when you MIS-MATCH the two.

Does that also mean that I can use it without unlocking my phone?

If you are using a tmobile phone with tmobile ST sim, there is no need for unlocking.

You unlock a T-Mobile phone to use it with AT&T service. BUT, it must possess the frequencies AT&T uses.
