FreedomPop sells AT&T SIMs. The phones they sell are for Sprint. I have accounts on both. I use the free AT&T SIM in my car and get 1GB free/month, which is more than sufficient for my Google Maps/Earth and directions usage.

BTW how does that "LTE SIM" actually work? I have a few of their pre-LTE "global" SIMs. The MNC is actually some UK company, and it actually does route through the UK. Horrible latency (and they marketed this for VOIP, lol), it's NATted, and the IP address actually ends in 0! (not wrong under CIDR, just unusual). But it does roam onto both AT&T and T-mobile towers.
