How to get 3G with Straight Talk using an AT&T iPhone 4?
I've unlocked the phone.
I've called Straight Talks so called customer service. They did absolutely nothing and told me to deal with the fact that I can barley get 2G (E) service. They said it was just the area I'm in. There has to be a way to get better service. I mean, it's running off AT&T towers and I used to have AT&T and the service was fine. I'm about to go back to Virgin Mobile and just not use an iPhone. It's just that I prefer this over anything Android has to offer.
Anything helps at this point
Yes they do use AT&T towers but not all of them or in the same capacity. If Straight talk used AT&T towers just like AT&T then they would be same… Right? No need for AT&T. LOL
You can try T Mobile. They are currently refarming their towers to support the 1900 GSM band. This means that you will get HSPA+ with any AT&T phone. The refram is only partially complete - mostly in larger cites. So if you can't get 3g in ST i don't know about TM.
Also i gotta say have you even used a real high end Android handset? If not i understand you thinking that they are trash. But when it comes to high end devices the iPhone can't even hang with phones like the HTC ONE.
Straight Talk guarantees access, but does not guarantee the speed. If you live where there's T-Mobile, you may want to think about switching from AT&T towers to T-Mobile towers. You will just need to call Straight Talk and tell them that you service is bad with AT&T.
