Net10 $50 more dollars for the unlimited everything plan
Straighttalk $45

Trying to get the ST AT&T sim but they ran out of it at this time, deciding weather not give Net10 a try for 5 more dollars, cause Net10's AT&T sims are available right now
For unlocked iPhone 5 (Prefer AT&T sim)
Have been using ST service before, happy with it, wondering is there any difference between their serivce
Net10 uses AT&T towers too?

Have you tried going to settings -> carrier , and turning automatic off? You'll hafta wait like 2 minutes, then it will show you a list of all available gsm towers in the area. Then click t-mobile when it pops up.

Yep when connected to AT&T data dont work, not even 2G, and most of the time it connects to AT&T
They said cause of the 2G network(iPhone can only get 2G network on T-mobile) in my area is too weak so I can only connect to AT&T towers to at least get voice and text
Why do I need an iPhone 5 if no data activated?
iPhone users stay away from T-mobile monthly 4G prepaid plans!
Screw you T-Mobile

That's more a problem with coverage in your area, but yeah, definitively "Screw you, T-Mobile". Even though they announced on December 20th, 2012 that New York has iPhone-friendly 4G.
Looks like you'll have to go back to StraightTalk. Or move to the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens or Staten Island.

This StraightTalk SIM for AT&T

can be cut to Nano SIM with a Nano SIM Cutter, as it has a small chip in the appropriate size.
