How to switch from at&t to Straigh Talk Unlimited?
I have an iPhone 3GS under an at&t contract. My grandmother just recently passed away and everything is in her name, so the contract is going to be null/void and is going to end without us having to pay the contract anymore and my phone will lose it's service. I have a straight talk sim card that comes with that $45 unlimited activation and I was wondering if I can go ahead and switch to the Straight Talk even though the at&t service is still on my phone? ( I can still make calls and whatnot on at&t, it hasn't stopped yet, but I still wanted to go ahead and switch to my Straight Talk.
P.S. Can I still keep my at&t number as well?
Added (1). What is the "porting" process and what does it consist of? Also, my iPhone is actually jailbroken on IOS 5.1.1, so I can unlock it that way
In order to keep your number, you will need to provide Straight Talk with not only the number that you wish to transfer, but the account number for the AT&T account that the number is on. (Located in the top right of the first page of the billing statement.)
I would call AT&T to see if they will unlock the phone for you, as that is needed for the phone to work on ST. The porting process from AT&T to ST takes about 24 hours, but can last up to a week, and yes you can start the port process at any time so much as your phone is unlocked.
- What's the data limit for Straight Talk's Unlimited plan? I'm probably going to buy the unlocked GSM iPhone 5 and then use it on Straight Talk. However, has Straight Talk said how much data you can use before your data speeds start getting throttled? Also, will the data that I use while I'm on Wi-Fi count against that data limit?
- Unlimited talk and text but still high bill (Verizon Wireless)? So I have an iPhone 4 by Verizon with unlimited talk and text. When I first bought this phone I was paying 103.00 for a while, then it went up to 104, 111 and kept getting higher. So a few days ago i receive my bill in the mail and it said 160! What the heck. I'm not buying any apps, I get them all for free, my data is extremely low… What is going on? Is there any way I can make my bill go down to it's original price? I'd much appreciate the help
- Over using data on unlimited straight talk plan? I have a straight talk iphone and they turned off all my data completely saying i "overused" my unlimited data plan. So i have to wait until my original service runs out which was just three days thank god, to add another 30 day unlimited plan. My only question is. Will my phone still work just fine like it did before this mishap. Can anyone tell me if this happened to them as well? And did your phone work with a new minute card? Or did you have to bjuy a whole new phone also?
- How to switch to the Walmart unlimited text and data plan from sprint? I have an iPhone 5 for about a month and a half and I switched to the sprint unlimited plan from AT&T yesterday. I just heard about walmarts new unlimited plan for the iPhone 5. Do I have to give my phone back to sprint and buy one from Walmart at full price. Someone fill me in here.
