    Anybody have experience with them? Please share. I'm thinking of moving 3 phones (2 smart + 1 dumb) currently on T-Mobile to Straight Talk. One question in particular: Do they allow tethering? This is very important.

    Using your phone as a wifi connection for another device (like a laptop or tablet). Until about 3 weeks ago, got it free from T-Mobile for two years (their mistake).

    BUMP, looking at this option as well to move away from At&t

    any experiences?

    I think most carriers don't officially allow free unauthorized tethering. They even know about it, but I haven't read accounts (from google) about enforcement unless you're a major drain on their network.

    I do it all the time on Verizon. Used to do it on sprint.

    Bump. I saw a commercial for Straight Talk today. Anyone using them want to discuss?
