Just a couple months after relisting AT&T SIM cards for sale, Straight Talk has now added LTE support to its AT&T SIM card inventory and service. The new SIM cards are currently on sale for $6.99 each in both microSIM and miniSIM sizes. The addition of LTE service now means that Straight Talk is the second AT&T MVNO to offer LTE support on BYOD service, with AT&T subsidiary AIO Wireless being the first to do so earlier this year. This now means that cheap mid-range LTE compatible phones like the AT&T Lumia 900 and Pantech Discover can be used to their full potential, as well as AT&T’s iPhone 5 and forthcoming 5C/5S.
However, with the LTE support comes even more concern regarding Straight Talk’s throttling practices, as the provider still refuses to detail its data usage allowances, as more providers are willing to do and is still relying on the catch all unlimited terms which still prohibit streaming media and heavy usage, among other issues.

Unfortuntely, Straight Talk has been unbecoming in the practices of false advertising. Where I live, we are limited to either 60-70$ a month prepaid service or joining them with a substantially high deposit as a contract plan, or use Straight Talk wich has A) Reduced Web Browsing to “Mobile Web” every month since Ive owned my phone approximately 7 months….and as of most recently…SUSPENDED my web use all together wich is NOT mrntioned in Terms and Conditions. I use no streaming media and no applications left running AND 90% of my web browsing is at college using wifi. No reason what so ever to have gone over the puny 30mb per day according to their terms. Unsatisfactory customer service as well. My opinion means nil to most consumers, however, the use and abuse of my hard earned dollars infuriates me. I strongly urge an in depth look into their practices before investing in their fraudulence.
Dear sir,
My name is Ka yang and I bought an IPhone 5 but I have no straight talk simcard so I want to ask you do a straight talk SIM card compatible with that iPhone 5 . And how do I get it.
Hi Ka yang, that I phone 5 has to 1. be unlocked 2. an ATT, or 3. a T mobile phone. If it is…. buy the Micro sim lte for the corresponding carrier.
