AT&T Pay as you go

[mz89]

Does any one know of a way to use the Lumia 900 with an AT&T GoPhone / Pay-As-You-Go service plan which includes cellular internet?

check out Straight Talk if you own the phone with no contract. Its AT&Ts network and less than half the price - just no LTE. I've been using it for a few months and the service is good. 2 GB hard data cap though, just FYI.

I have an AT&T Pay As You Go SIM card for my work phone. I have the $25 plan with 250minutes and unlimited SMS & MMS, and I also add 1GB of Data for $25. So I pay $50 a month

Besides Straight Talk, There is also:

do you get LTE on ATT GoPhone? That would be my only reason for considering it.

There are not any LTE GoPhones at this time. I am sure that will change in the future. I do get 4G HSPA+ with my Pay As You Go SIM card.

i get that too with Straight Talk. I was just looking for a reason to give my money to ATT but I can see there still isn't any.

That's ok, Straight Talk is giving your money to AT&T.

yeah, that's between them and ATT though, I actually get to pay another company LESS to deal with those slimy bastards.

Yep there was an article saying that ATT was phasing out 2g starting next year that would meake it more and more likely that there will be LTE pay as you go probably next year as well.

I read the same article. Then yesterday I read another article that said AT&T won't phase out 2G until like 2016, which doesn't make a lot sense.

i think that is when the phaseout will be complete.

What are the speeds like with Straight Talk?

I use Net10, which is the same company as ST. My download speeds are capped at 3MBps.
