    How can they sell SIM cards so cheap?

    A SIM card on the Red Pocket site costs around $10 but there are sellers out there who are selling them for as little as 17 cents with free shipping! And this is on the Amazon website.

    Nexus 4 Price Drop: 8GB $199, 16GB $249

    I just started using Red Pocket $10/month plan - voice and text, .10/minute. They're using ATT as the carrier. $10/micro sim card. Make sure Data is disabled on your phone because data usage is deducted from your minutes. The same APN settings as for Straight talk/ATT will work.

    Straight Talk and AT&T: Back together again...

    In one place on their website they say you get 30 days of service for $45. In their FAQ they say you get a month of service for $45. There are more months with 31 days than with 30. The way they figure it, you are losing 5 days a year.

    Straight Talk and AT&T: Back together again...

    I have been using the old ATT sim card from Straight talk on my N4 for several months now. My latest speed here in Western NC has been 7.1mb down and 1.1mb up. I'm on automatic payment and I find the problem with straight talk is they keep moving my end date back a couple of days every month...

    I had no better luck than you. Does this mean they're already sold out? Do we have to do the same thing as we did for the Nexus 4 and get the app to tell us when it's back in stock?
