IPhone 5s plans for StraightTalk, T-Mobile, and Virgin Mobile?
I'm going to get an unlocked iPhone 5s. However, my parents will not pay for the at&t, sprint and verizon plans. They said that they would do the straight talk, virgin mobile, or T-mobile plans because it is cheaper. I was wondering when the plans would come out for the 5s, and about how much they would be (compare it with the iPhone 4 when it came out). I really want to get this phone fast and start using it.

Could be six months to a year before the new iPhones filter down to the MVNOs like Straight Talk and Virgin/Boost, although T-Mobile has them now.
- Which do you recommend? Iphone 5s Smart Plans or Iphone 5s Globe Plans? I'm confused. I've heard a lot of negative comments about globe internet speed and secret extra charges. But it seems that there are more recommendations to go for globe iphone plans. What's wrong with Smart? Which is more advisable for first timers in mobile plans?
- What is the difference between T-Mobile's $70 and $60 prepaid plans? My girlfriend currently uses the $70 prepaid service for her iPhone 5, but wants to spend less money every month. She's thinking about switching to the $60 or $50 plans but we don't really know the differences between them because they all give relatively little information on the plan selection screen, and they all say unlimited everything. I'd just like some help figuring out if they slow your data drastically or something like that. A detailed explanation of each plan.
- What cell phone, and company, is the best for someone who just listens to music, streams shows/videos, and texts? Cheapest plans/phones? I occasionally talk on my phone, and/or take photos. Also, can I still get the food/ride share apps if I don't have an IPhone? I live in a mid-sized city in the mid-west. (over 100,000 pop. And over 70 square miles)
- Virgin Mobile Canada to virgin mobile USA? So I bought an iPhone 4S that is locked to bell which they say is compatible with virgin mobile Canada carrier, but I'm moving back to United States soon if I unlock it I can use it in united states on the usa Virgin mobile carrier right?
