Reply With QuoteDon't know about the T-mobile side, but I'm averaging 3mbps or so with the AT&T SIM. Even with poor signal, it's rare to see less than 800kbps.

Why yes, that is a bag phone
OK, long story short. Had T Mobile with my GF who is now my ex & I kept my phone (Samsung Vibrant 3G version) & sent her Sim card back.
Went with VM $35 monthly plan (300 min / Unlimited Text & data) had it before when it was $25 and it seems like it got a LOT worse. Data is so slow & I can not even connect in certain areas of my house plus i had crappy customer service! It took aver 2 hours on the phone till I could even start my plan! That alone had me want to leave VM!
So I was told about Straight Talk BYOP. $15 for a TM sim card & I can use my Vibrant. Unlimited Minutes & text & 2.5 GB a month for $45 + taxes. (comes to $48.70) I also heard if you go over 2.5 GB they cut you off sometimes & your done!
Was all set to do that then I though what about TM monthly?
The $30 plans would not cut it for me. I need over 100 minutes & the other hardly has any data.
So I looked at the $50 unlimited everything plan.
I can go there...have my VM number switched to TM get the sim card for free & pay $53 for the first start of service. Then go to callingmart.com & with discounts pay $47.77 a month after, BUT......TM throttles you to edge speeds of 200kbps!
So I was wondering what speeds TM Sim card users are getting on Straight Talk and is there anything else good or bad to report?
PS... I have a Samsung Vibrant 3G version
Thank You!

WOW! That would be great if the T-Mobile was around that!

If anything, the T-mobile side should be a bit faster due to less loading than the AT&T network.

well.....it sounds like ST is the way to go over TM then.

Here is my speed test result from my GNex on the Tmobile byod.

Does anyone know if the T-mobile SIM works off the I-Wireless towers in Iowa? (I-Wireless is a T-mobile affiliate)
I've got more phones than fingers

Choose T-Mobile SIM, then punch in an I-Wireless covered zip code.
I've heard yes from others, but that above is a sure fire way to check
Verizon 4G LTE
San Francisco | San Jose
AT&T 4G LTE
My screen is bigger than yours
Anyone here know if T-Mobile's data on Straight Talk is routed via one server only, or do you guys get access to more servers? I know that the data here on ST on AT&T is routed via a Chicago server only.

Another user on here mentioned last week they were not able to "roam" on iwireless (that's a loose term as iwireless is essentially T-Mobile with whom ST has agreements) but I personally have been able to roam on iwireless in several locations...including with data, which was a surprise to me.

I was with T-Mobile not long ago. Will it be about the same as far as coverage?
I've got more phones than fingers
It should be the same if not better

Thank you everyone for the help.

Where's the dialtone?
I'm going to buy a T-Mobile branded phone from walmart. Can I use the sim card that comes with it if I buy the plan from straighttalk? Or do I have to buy the sim card from straighttalksim.com as well?
