I got a ST Sim in my Incredible 2 Global and everything works great.

Except I only get Edge network. I'm rooted and using 2.3.3

Any Ideas? I would be happy to get 0.5 MBs speed.

I'm barely get 0.1 Mbs speed
 
Based on the quick searches I did, it looks like straight talk uses AT&T for their SIM card customers. So maybe your answer would be the same as getting 3G with an AT&T SIM in the Incredible 2.
 
Radio Frequency Summary

The following is a list of known frequencies which AT&T employs in the United States:
Frequencies used on the AT&T Network Frequency

Protocol Class 850 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
850 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G
1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G
700 MHz LTE 4G
1700/2100 MHz(AWS) LTE 4G

And the droid incredible 2 supports all the bolded frequencies. Shouldn't I be getting 3G? I don't understand.
 
There is probably a thread on activating an Incredible 2 on AT&T. This would be great information for a sticky if it gets figured out.
 
No, I have it activated with a Straight Talk Sim. Everything works great except I t won't get the 3g data, even though is has the 1900 band for ATT 3G Network.

It only uses "edge" as of the moment. I've tried the TBH Gsm unlock for the droid. But it will not work. At all. And the phone won't flash to 2.3.29 Kernels so I can put the TBH band unlock on it.
 
And what is TBH? Sounds like it's for a different phone. Search for threads about activating the Incredible 2 on GSM carriers. I know that people have asked this question before. Maybe one of them found a solution.
