    You would have to use Pandora with cellular data. If the phone does not allow Pandora streaming over the cellular data network, you are out of luck. Of course, audio or video streaming using cellular data may violate the Terms and Conditions of Straight Talk. There is no Wi-Fi service which works from a mobile location.

    Walmart sells an bluetooth/fm transmitter for about $100.
    Of course you would require cell data.

    There is no need to wifi. When wifi is out or range, 3G data should take over and you should have the same capability that you would if the phone was connected to wifi. Just watch your usage. In my testing, 1 hours worth of pandora streaming = about 35 mb of data.

    I have a suspicion that interstate travel would be more forgiving of data usage over the network than just driving a regular route to work. Switching towers for hundreds of miles should give you, "Truly Unlimited Data."

    Others have reported that this makes no difference.

    We don't have much data on the Proclaim yet, to be honest. Very few seem to have them yet they are sold out in many places (supposedly). Eventually we will get a better picture of the real threshold.

    Although Pandora is a "native" app ... they are so unclear with the damn TOS! But 35mb a day should be absolutely no problem on cellular data. And yes when you leave wifi's range, u with be on cellular data..

    They are quite clear; the underlying theme is do no harm to the underlying carrier. Commn sense should tell ya it means don't do things the underlying carrier won't let their own customers do.
