I posted this in the plans thread but this is the place to ask. From reading the OP I think my best bet will be Straight Talk AT&T but here's the post I made anyway, if you guys could weight in and hold my insecure hand while I make this life changing decision that would be much appreciated. I'll be traveling to the US next week for three weeks, and I was thinking of getting a pre-paid sim to put in my eurotrash GSM phone. Country: USA Current plan: None (well an EU one) Budget: Depends, for the sim itself $20 seems reasonable? $50 of data for the whole package of data and sim for the three weeks, is that reasonable? Current phone: HTC One X, EU/Intl. version. Has quad-band GSM and Tri-Band UMTS, but doesn't support 1700MHz UMTS AFAIK. (So I'm stuck with EDGE? Can anyone confirm this?) Needs: -Has to be GSM, so that restricts me to AT&T and T-Mobile correct? -Has to be a micro-SIM -No plan, no contracts, no ID. Has to be completely free of any commitments. What I want to use it for: Mostly I want to be able to use some data to Google stuff on the road, read emails and to Whatsapp my family at home. (And possibly Skype, but I think I'll do that on Wifi) I'll be traveling in the southwest region, so CA, AZ, UT and NV. I found Straight Talk online, they sell SIMs at Walmart, is this a good option? If it's cheaper to get a CDMA prepaid phone that supports rudimentary android stuff like Whatsapp that's fine too, but I'd like to use my own phone if at all possible.

SB35 posted:Your only problem is going to be that StraightTalk doesn't sell SIMs at Walmart. They only sell them online RIGHT HERE. So I guess order one and have it shipped to a place you know you can pick it up at, and you're good to go. Well poop, I'm gonna be on the move a lot, so that won't work. Thanks anyway.

I might skip it, I've been able to manage with free WiFi so far. Thanks for the info anyway.
