You need a regular SIM. This is a pentaband phone so it works on both T-Mo and ATT 3G.

The cheapest plan for prepaid is $30 a month for 100 minutes, 5GB of 4G data, and unl text through T-Mobile.

The best ATT prepaid is through Straight Talk. Its $45 a month for unlimited everything. There is a bit of a cap on data, 200mb a day or 2gb a month. I suggest you stay in that range or they will cancel you.

Welcome To Straight Talk

The SIM card is about $15 and change and they ship it 3 day FedEx.

The other option if you are a big user might be Simple Mobile. They run off T-Mobile towers and for unl everything with fast data is $60 a month. They do have a $40 a month plan that would save from ST(Even though I doubt its worth it)but that plan I believe caps your data speeds. So its like 119 kbps data speed cap. But I suppose that is unlimited.

So it rly depends on how you use your phone. Whether you need a bunch of minutes or you simply use texting and data more. With that the $30 plan is great. Its only 10c a min after the first 100 so its not overwhelmingly expensive even if you go over your minutes sometimes.

As far as I know ST is simply the best when it comes to ATT prepaid though. The only negative is if you are a data hog it just won't work for you. But so far I haven't seen a warning with my usage with them in the past 6 months on either phone.
