Which network does SpeedTalk use? How does SpeedTalk Mobile work?
SpeedTalk Mobile is one of the leading providers of cellular technology in the U.S. We provide a variety of flexible wireless plans for cell phones and IoT devices like alarm systems, GPS trackers, and smartwatches. At the moment, SpeedTalk Mobile only sells wireless service plans. We do not currently sell any type of device.
SpeedTalk Mobile works as a subscription-based wireless service for most of our plan options. This allows us to operate as a no credit check/no-contract service. If you are looking for a one month only plan, you will have the option to turn off the auto-renewal subscription and if you are enrolled to the auto-renewal subscription you will be able to cancel at any time. The subscription program is only for our 30- & 60-day plans. Our 180-day & full year plans are excluded from this feature.

Which network does SpeedTalk use?
The only way to acquire a SIM card from SpeedTalk Mobile is by purchasing a plan from SpeedTalk Mobile directly. They only provide SIM cards through the GSM-T network. Check the GSM-T coverage map to verify there is coverage where you will be using your phone or device regularly. The IoT plans, such as our Alarm System, Smartwatch and GPS Trackers, also work through the GSM-T network.
iPhone models 6 and newer are considered universal phones and can be used with SpeedTalk Mobile wireless service plans. With older iPhone models, they need to make sure your phone works with our GSM-T network which means you need to know where your phone was obtained from. Only GSM based iPhones will work on our network (iPhone obtained from T-Mobile, unlocked AT&T iPhone, or any unlocked GSM iPhones are compatible).
If you currently do not have a phone number, SpeedTalk will generate one for you automatically upon purchase of a SpeedTalk Mobile plan. You will need to provide a zip code so we can issue a phone number based on that zip code, if available (it is important to enter the zip code of the area where you will regularly use your service).

Can I transfer my existing cell phone number?
Keep in mind that there are exceptions to this rule, but it will never be because of SpeedTalk. Your phone will have to be in good standing with your current or past carrier. You will also have to purchase one of our plans first and you should start the transfer process with SpeedTalk prior to your cancellation with your current carrier. It’s very important that you do not cancel your account with your current carrier before the transferring process is completed.
If you currently do not have a phone number. Speedtalk will generate one for you automatically, you just need to provide a zip code so we can issue a phone number based on that zip code. (It’s important to enter the zip code of the area where you will regularly use your device)

 Does my IoT device need a SIM card?
If your device is GSM technology, you will need a SIM card. SpeedTalk Mobile’s IoT plans only work with GSM devices. If you are not sure the type of technology of your device, we suggest you contact the device manufacturer and ask if your device is GSM technology.
Device Compatibility:
If you need a SIM card/plan for an IoT device that is not an Alarm system, GPS, or Smartwatch, the GPS Tracker plans will work with any IoT device. Do not let the title of the page deter you. We guarantee that our plans will work with your device as long as your device is GSM technology.
