Now that LTE has matured a bit and has proliferated across much of the country, it appears major carriers are willing to let MVNOs use the high-speed networks. Traditionally, the drawback to such affordable service is that you can't use LTE service, you're stuck with older devices, and coverage can be spotty. There are two primary reasons why one would choose prepaid cellular service: low price, and no long-term contracts. Instead, it purchases the right to use towers from AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint. Straight Talk is a type of carrier known as an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator), which means that it doesn't run or own a wireless network.

Of course, most phones purchased from AT&T come with a two-year contract - you'll need to complete the contract or pay an early termination fee to switch. And unlike some other services, you'll be able to use a device purchased directly from AT&T that's still locked to the network on Straight Talk. You'll need to buy a new SIM card for $6.99 to get the service, but once you do, you'll get "unlimited" data, talk, and text for $45 per month (or international calling on top for $15 more per month). Straight Talk, a carrier formed from a partnership between Walmart and Tracfone, is now allowing users who bring smartphones capable with AT&T's LTE network to use the 4G data service. LTE is starting to become a reality for prepaid customers on inexpensive plans.
