This response is getting tired. Must you compare every aspect of our lives to impoverished countries? Yes, we don't live in Somalia. Yes, we have it better than most. Who cares? We're here. They're there. We're allowed to complain and perching yourself on some sort of parental "You'd best not...

Look, I threw out a lot of hyperbole because I am aggravated at the situation. You are right. Even though I still think it's slimy, I understand that it is 100% legal. Just venting and I am glad this turned into a discussion about alternative MVNO. So who's ship will we jump to next? Straight...

But what about this awesome free-market you were talking about? Surely AT&T and Verizon will do what's best? I do see it as a travesty of justice. Especially when the infrastructure required for telecommunication can't exactly be rebuilt. The companies that own the United States'...

I'll break this down step by step for you so you can see the pointlessness in this type of Capitalism 1. Straight Talk sells their ATT SIM cards for 14.95 2. They have a contractual dispute with ATT and the creation of the ATT SIMs stop. 3. A few Ebay/Amazon power users get wind of this...

Thank you for your generosity, but I didn't make this thread for handouts. I hate when online communities have subsets of users who use the forums as begging tools. I really do think this practice should be illegal. And I'm going to take as many actions as possible to make it so. Starting with...

No thank you. That would make this post seem like a plea to get free stuff. I will get the SIM, even if I have to pay $100, but I want people to know just how much crap this actually is. You can spew your Rand pseudo-intellectual nonsense about how "economics is void of emotion and life is...

They sell them on on their website and through Wal-Mart's website. They're also available in a few brick and mortar Wal-Marts. But mostly, you have to buy them through walmart.com or straighttalk.com. The thing is, there is a couple of power Ebay/Amazon users who have depleted all of ST's stock...

Never mind. I am researching it further. It may not be that black and white.

ST phones do not come with SIMS. The phones are attached to the service themselves through said phone's serial. I already looked into this.

I'll try this and see if it works.

This is true, Straight Talk needs to make more, but that still doesn't absolve the people who are practicing shady business ethics.

No idea. But I imagine it will be a long time. When I was setting up my phone (back in mid Feb), I was looking for a Micro SIM and they were sold out. I bought a standard SIM and a SIM cutter and got myself setup, but to this day, ST Micro SIM cards are sold out. I think that's a sign of things...

*sigh* I'll have to bite the bullet I guess. Her phone is here and I want her to be able to use it... It's a damn shame she's paying almost a $100 extra bucks when I told her the original price. The phone: $299. The SIM: 14.95. And after those one-time purchases, 45 a month. Now its $299 for the...

Look, I know the reasons for our advancements can be traced back many generation ago, but you know what I mean. I'm talking about the progress that has been made the last couple decades. H e ll, just this last decade has been insane. I want her to master this tech before she goes. It will give...

I understand what you're saying, but your failing to recognize the sleaziness of these people. They bought out Straight Talk's stock. Not to use them in phones, but to simply control the market through bullish capitalism. They don't need the SIM cards. It's horsesh1t.
