928 on Straight Talk

[Robinsonmac]

Just added my old 928 to Straight talk for my mother in-law. I let her have it & got her off her Straight Talk Android phone after I got the Icon. Everything works great thanks to the setting from the 822 Straight Talk thread using the AT&T sim card. The phone gets HSPA & 3G speeds. She absolutely loves the phone and the Poetic Atmosphere case.

Glad she likes it! It really is a great phone. Hope you like the Icon!

Yup, works with Net10 also, with AT&T Sim. I'm using the 928 as my spare phone. I can make the jump from Android but waiting until 8.1 comes out. Go figure

good to know got my son an HTC 8x for use on straighttalk, and while it is a nice phone I accidentally got a 8GB version... so I have been looking in to the 928 for him hoping to catch one cheap. I'm also looking at a 1020 for my fiancee since she is a picture freak (I'm on an Icon work has verizon)

Thanks, she's loving it. Getting straight into using office, onenote & onedrive to sync & access documents when out. Super, super excited that I loaded a bible app for her. She liked that more than anything else.

Which Bible app are you using - I've got several for different reasons. Would be nice to consolidate all that I like into one.
Cross-Connect - plays audio while you read
Bible Pronto - checking it out
Bible Reader - UI makes it easy to move around the Bible quickly
Bible On The Go - sharing verses to social media
Some of these may have features that overlap due to updates that I haven't noticed.

Hopmedic, have you tried this one? Bible | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United Kingdom) Youversion plans are the main reason I use it. I still haven't found one that has good design and updates a live tile with a verse of the day on it. My ideal app would have that live tile on it and would use the biblegateway.com framework.

I don't have that one on my phone, but it is one of the ones I have on my PC (SP2). I think I've got about five different Bible apps on the PC. I like the plans in YouVersion, and one of the things I like is that it will play audio. I like to listen to the audio while reading when I'm just reading (not really studying) - it helps keep me from getting distracted. Before they started making apps that played the audio, I read while playing from Bible on CD.

That's the one I installed, she loves it.
