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...
