ATT GoPhone.
You can choose your plan. (see https://www.paygonline.com/websc/rat...ateplan_en.jsp)

I like it a lot, very flexible, and the 100 MB data for $20 should cover a month of emails and casual browsing. If you go over the 100mb, you could always buy more...

I found their coverage was stronger than TMobile's in my area.

This review might offer some help on the data portion.

Do you plan to use this on the unlock Sprint TP2?

I thought the best data speed you can get on it would be Edge speed, not even 3g?

Nice thread, i'm looking for something similar, without data. More like an "emergency" sim card that will work if I never need it, for like $5 a month or something.

Im looking for this exactly, though id rather there be no monthly fee, just a sim card that doesnt expire. Does an expired SIM card have to allow for 911 calls to be made? I know landline phone companies are required to provide 911 service even if the subscriber has cancelled thier plan. Is this also true with GSM networks?

Honestly, I would be willing to pay like 20-25 cents per minute maybe more for a card of minutes that didnt expire. I think someone said AT&T has a prepaid plan where you can buy a $100 card and it wont expire for a year, which might be our best option, that works out to:
$8.33 per month...

Since I only use my SIM card whenever Verizon has no signal, this is what I use and it seems fairly cheap. I bought mine at a Best Buy:

Correct, you will only ever get edge and not 3g which makes using the sim for data pretty discouraging. The SIM-for-emergency calling is pretty moot if you live in a metro area like me. If Sprint has no service, I end up roaming to the Big V. I have yet to ever experience true "No service". Maybe on the subway, but I haven't taken that since it cost $1.50 (NYC people know how long ago that was, lol).

I want to unlock the feature primarily to consolidate phones. I have second line for work that uses T-Mobile. Not having to carry around 2 phones would be great. I realize that you can't be on both gsm and cdma simultaneously, but since I have my personal phone turned off during the day anyway it wouldn't make a diff to me. Swap to gsm when the workday starts and swap back to cdma at quitting time. One phone, two birds. useewutididthere? =P

I ended up buying this one. It claims to give access to both Tmobile and AT&T towers...rates are decent for very seldom use. The minutes expire in 9 months if you dont:
a.) Use some minutes or send a text
b.) Recharge your minutes

From what I could tell doing one of those two things resets the 9 month counter...that means this $19 SIM could last $19.00/0.15 * 9 months if you send a text message every 9 months, this card would last 95 years!

Also, use coupon code frommers01 for 15% off which is $2.18 on a $19 card. My total after shipping was $25.15
