Net10's website says this phone is not available in my area. If I purchased it online here would it still function with their service once activated in my area?

The answer is No. Net10 can only use specified cell phone towers in certain areas. I just went throught this with them. All Net10 phones do ot work in all areas. Check with them on their site before you purchase any Net10 phone.

Yes. Since it is a "GSM" phone it would be on either T-mobile or AT&T; pre-paid networks. I would highly recommend buying the Galaxy Proclaim. It is full featured android phone for a lot less money plus since it is CDMA phone it will use the Verizon pre-paid network. I bought a Proclaim and am pretty happy with it. Not the best battery life, but more or less problem with all android phones from what I read...

You really should contact Net10 about this question. I use Net10 and they have certain SIM cards for certain areas. When I moved here 6 months ago the current Net10 phone I had didn't work here. I mean it worked but you will have to pay for roaming charges. Check with Net10 before purchasing.

No it is for Net10. This unit is incompatible with Straight Talk even though both have the same parent company. Be aware that you must have a "Net 10 Home Phone" Air time card to activate this unit. This card cannot be purchased online from Net 10 but is available on Amazon or Ebay at a Jacked-up price. I had to return the unit that I purchased because the airtime card was not available within a 100 mile radius of my location.

You should contact buyer to make sure. There is a big chance the it won't be exact or even unlocked. The good thing about at&t is they work on Net 10 or H20 even if not unlocked. I ordered the white version and received a black one with a small crack not mentioned and was not rm 877.

I also have a Galaxy S4. It is unlocked for use on all CDMA networks but, does require a sim to work and is not unlocked to GSM. Is there a way to activate this with Net10?

I was able to use this phone with net 10 but it was an original Tmobile. The SD hardware was tmobile also. I did have some trouble converting to net 10 and trying to use towers outside of the tmobile system. In my opinion I think you might be able to use the tmobile plan for this phone. Hopefully you don't run into any problems with data storage and tower use. Good luck to you!

Just follow the instruction that came with the phone and activate online.That's what I did. No problems.

Sorry, I use tracfone. I don't know anything about net 10. The hardware would work but they might not activate it.

They use SIM card, so you will have to activate their SIM to use the phone. Check their website Net10wireless.com. Regards.

No, you cannot.. It must be the sim card that comes with the phone and then you must activate the phone using net-10.

What I would suggest is talk to your provider to make sure you can have it unlocked and use it at the place where you use it.

If you can't find out from Net10, go to straighttalk.com, clip on 'shop' and select 'phones'. Type in your zip in space provided, and it will tell you if it is compatible with your area.

as a previous owner of this phone which i gave to a friend's girlfriend to use. that when i first got it, that it did come with minutes upon activation. probably still need a net 10 phone card though to add tons of minutes. sure hope this helps.

I would go on the Net 10 site and type in your zip code. It will show you the phones that will work in your zip code area. I bought 200 minutes regularly with it.

If straight talk offers the phone as a choice then you can use a Proclaim. The net-10 only phone is for net-10 only because it has a SIM card designed for that service. Straight talk would also have a SIM card designed for their service. Walmart.com has a phone selection for straight talk and also you can check coverage for your area with your postal zip code. I checked several zips around my area to make sure the phone I was getting would work all over and not just in my backyard. So that said, go check your availability and coverage at Walmart.com and if you are satisfied it will work, look for it at Amazon.com. I have found items at Amazon cheaper than Walmart.

See if you can find a phone that is not chipped for Net10 (the service provider) as it may not function with Saskatel. I use Net10 as my provider, so it was a simple matter to add this phone to my existing account and activate it for use. Phones designated for specific carriers will rarely work on a different network.

The phone that I purchased does not come with a pre-paid Net 10 card. That card I purchased separately. But that aside, I like the Net 10 service as unused minutes DO carry over to the next month. RIG
