To paul:
I don't understand why on the straight talk site - sim cards - enter unlocked gsm phone - enter zip - it then shows the piece I referenced before about not being for straight talk??? Its on the ST website? How else do u get the sim?
Is that different to a new activation sim kit? ( the ones out of stock)
;(
the micro sim activation on (Walmart web site) ST for t mob, isn't for ST? What am I missing?

Do you want T-Mobile or Straight Talk? It seems you wanted the $30. T-Mobile plan. When I had that, I had to order the sim (BYOD) from T-Mobile online. Although I was supposed to be able to activate it online, I had to call. During that call, I had to inform the CSA (who was very nice) that my purchase (buy from Walmart OR T-Mobile online) did qualify for the $30. 100min/5GB plan. You can also purchase a phone from T-Mobile at Walmart and qualify for that $30. plan. Unfortunately, T-Mobile coverage didn't work for me.
That's what you seem to be missing from T-Mobile.
As far as Straight Talk goes, it sells service on either AT&T or T-Mobile, but you're missing the fact that it's totally messed up right now. No AT&T (micro or mini) sims are available from them. If Walmart/walmart.com still has any, you can get one and it is supposed to activate without a problem. AFAIK, Straight Talk never sold micro sims for T-Mobile, but you can get a mini sim and cut it down for your Nexus 4. If you want T-Mobile service, you might look into Simple Mobile. When I needed a T-Mobile micro sim to get data and MMS working on our iphones, I bought a Simple Mobile sim for $1. (free shipping) from ebay. I've been on ST for over 9 months and it works for us (3 AT&T and 1 T-Mobile in a high speed area). However, since ST has never been known for being up-front about much of anything except for their price, and is being particularly silent over its current connection/disconnection with AT&T, this might not be the best time to join up.
