Hello. I am going to buy a factory unlocked iPhone 4S very soon and I was wondering which prepaid carrier would be a better choice for me. I have read up on both of them, but I believe that going with Straight Talk would involve me having to carefully use my data. I believe I read somewhere that you can't watch youtube videos or stream any content, so that kind of disappointed me. I live in Miami, so I don't know if Simple Mobile has 3G in my area. What exactly would be the pros and cons of each carrier?
 
Go with straight talk. You have a cap of 2gb but you get att 3g speeds basically everywhere. Simple mobile is Tmobile and while many parts are finally getting 3g some are still on edge.

The correct statement is that while SOME parts are finally getting 3G many are still on EDGE.
