To do this offer, i had to get a special sim kit to activate. Im wondering if anyone can confirm that the plan will still work with the new wifi sim. Does anyone have this plan and wifi calling?

With free wifi calling that is definitely doable. I mostly text, unless its work related. I have wifi everywhere I go basically. So this seems pretty awesome.
Where is this plan? I have the 100 for 30 bucks

can you explain?
I've wanted to try this plan but I've heard theres a lot of BS that comes with it. like one person being charged $90 to cancel the plan because its not an actual monthly/prepaid plan.
also i dont know anybody with tmobile service in my area. so im unsure as far as reception goes in certain locations.
No such plan. The only $30 plan is 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5gb data.
Monthly4G plans don't have "free" Wi-Fi calling. Sure, you can use the feature but you'll still be dipping into those minutes.
I would know about this because I've been using this plan for a little over two months now.

Le Sigh. Your right. I'm paying cable prices for something that I can carry around with me and get broadband speeds. I hope they just realize that data shouldn't be capped/throttled but Comcast hasn't been taught this lesson so I'm worried it won't sink in.

Guys, capping is the goal, not the means. The whole idea is to annoy you into getting a more expensive contract and then only using a small part of it.
They fiddle with the limits until the most people switch up and they make the largest profit.
Anyway, paying per used amount is like going back to the days of WAP.
If only someone started a worldwide data-only network, sigh...
6gb was 30 dollars a month on rogers months ago...

Edge are AT&T 2G speeds...it is pretty miserable. I have the unlimited plan (throttled after 5GB). I am actually thinking of cutting down my data plan though, I have never gone over 1GB per month. Cell phones aren't allowed where I work and I keep wi-fi on whenever I am home and wherever I can have it on when I am out and about.

If you had the $10 Android plan that they gave out to preferred customers, you'd have a $20 price increase..
But those of us who were unable to get the $10 deal.. 2gb was previous $20.
Considering 5gb was $35, I'd say $30 for completely unlimited is a damn good deal, lol
Did anyone else just lose data? It's redirecting me to a "choose a plan" page but when I click it, it says I have a data plan. Weird :| That was on my phone, non-tether.

There is ZERO fine print anywhere stating throttling. On every other plan that has it, it is easy to find out when you get throttled. A call to customer service confirmed this. It is only available online on tmobile.com and walmart.com. It is pretty new.......just saw it about a week ago.
Plus, remember, Tmobile just announced true unlimited data for post and pre paid, but this is the cheapest/lowest minute one I can find.

Metropcs is stronger than Sprint in the LA area and offer a phone like LG Motion. It's a decent phone and if not, they are adding new phones every month.
U can check boost mobile and virgin mobile. They r not that expensive. Metropcs is a option 2 but it sucks in my area.U may be aviable to flash ur current phone to use with boost,virgin or metropcs. I've seen treads about how to do it.

-----Update 27 Nov-----
This coupon code no longer works. If I find another one I will update this thread.
I have now used this service with google voice for over 2 weeks with great service. I have had the same speeds and coverage as I did with my att phone. I have not used enough data to get notified or limited in speed, if and when this happens I will update my thread.
There is one issue with straight talk and any MVNO it seems. I used two google voice numbers (personal, work) and I turn off the voicemail forwarding on my phone so that the voicemail for each works correctly (Otherwise both GV numbers would forward to the same voicemail account). Straight talk does not have the ability to change the voicemail forwarding phones. My workaround for now is to extend the number of rings out to where GV will forward to voicemail (I am in process of testing this now).
To use two GV numbers on one phone you set both as home numbers and just use the app for texts from one. There are more detailed ways to forwards texts from the second phone but if you want this info PM and ask or search for it as it is available elsewhere.

I see these posts regularly and had some questions. I have at&t service now. Is it as easy as placing the sim card into my phone and go? Will everything work like it did on at&t? What's the data transfer like? I'm really liming the idea of two phones unlimited everything for $90 as opposed to $165 for 700 mins unlimited text and calls to any mobile but only 2 GB of data. Do I need to flash anything to make everything work properly?

you don't have to flash anything. just gotta change the apn settings to st and you're good to go. the SIM packet has the apn settings that you change in network settings.
Straight Talk data connection is the same as ATT would be in your area, except, NO LTE. You will not grey LTE with straight talk. And don't count on using much more than 2gb of data either, I near they send warning texts but don't actually have a what to cut off your data.
I've been on Straight Talk ATT for 3 months and love it. Just know it's limitations. I've never gone over 600mb data in my life though. I work when I'm at work, not much time to stream videos, the rest of the time I'm at home on wifi. Also ATT sucks in my area.

You also need an unlocked or att locked phone. The Sim is recognized as an att sim.
I will add my experience here once I've used it. I tried T-Mobile 100 min 5gb plan and got rid of it because of bad indoor reception (I was Always on edge inside).

Thanks. So is that the only benefit of unlocking the phone? I'm rooted and running a wicked sweet custom ROM already. Only thing left is unlocking.

It looks like you have an AT&T Captivate. You don't need to unlock your phone if it's AT&T branded.
It is. I gathered that from my searches. Just wondered if that was the only benefit of unlocking my phone, being able to carry it to any gsm carrier.

The only benefit of unlocking is to be able to use other carriers. But to repeat you DO NOT need to unlock to use straight talk on your att phone.

So if straight talk cuts off ur data for usage, call them, ask them to define unlimited, then ask them to define false advertising lawsuit, after I did this on my thrid disconect, I have never received a warning or been cutoff. And I use more than 16gb a month

No, could be because I modded the prl alot. I always tried to keep the best one out on there so I got the most towers possable and the one next to my house about .2 miles away instead of the default thats about 1.3 miles away

If you have a micro sim lying around you can use it as a template and cut your old sim card down to a micro. I did it with a pair of sharp sewing scissors and it's been working fine for me.
Also, unlocking my smartphones has always benefited me in that it allowed me to sell at a higher price.
