No. I ordered this phone believing it was straight talk and after they said it wasn't I had to switch to Verizon. It was an easy transition.

In general, no. There's no way of telling if the phone is locked to a certain carrier or unlocked and free to use.

The Apple Iphone 4,white,shipped to my son was not able to use straight talk.We bought a pay as you go verizon card that worked well with this phone.there was atleast one phone shipped to some one eise that did except straight talk.Thats why its a hard to answer question.If you order this phone you will not know if it will except straight talk until you get the phone.It will also depend where you live.We are very happy with this new phone and the verizon pay as you go cards are all right but have limited data usage unless you pay for a card that is over $48.00 and lasts just a month.

I was told no. Straight Talk mostly uses CDMA encoding/broadcasting networks now. Those carriers that own that system are Verizon Wireless-Sprint They have no removable SIM. The other 2 proprietors that uses GSM are AT&T and T-Mobile. I have T-Mobile. No problems. If you can buy a Straight Talk SIM card, It still works on the same towers and encoding- transmitting systems. ie T-Mobile, AT&T. This is GSM and works in a significantly different way from a CDMA. The two are not compatible in any way. I have a Simple Mobile card that, as I said works off T-Mobile. For $40/mo. I get 100 GIG data and all unlimited talk and both kinds of text SMS and MMS... Been entirely happy with it! But I'm not a web surfer, and ironically use less than 40-50Mb data a month... So, I just don't need a lot of mobile data. Simple Mobile even shows a video of what settings to enter into the phone to program it. I have had an AT&T card in slot 2, just to compare the two-I couldn't notice a difference where I live, but look at those carriers coverage maps before you choose what service to try!

You can go to Phone Arena to find the bands it works on. This is a GSM unlocked phone. I think it should work for straight talk.

This is not being sold as prepaid. Only a call to Verizon can tell you for sure. The term "no contract" in this case means only that we do not supply service only the phone.

Same here - I guess that is how it works since it is a call center phone. It sucks though and customer service is non existent. The consolation is it is good for outbound calls. You can use a 2 way phone splitter and just use it for calling out.

No it wont work with straight talk at all .. it Will work with T-MOBILE (voice and text only.. no data unless perhaps it downgrades to 2G.. technically it should work. but doesn't ) .. I dont know about AT&T

Got the Sim card at AT&T retail store for free, but AT&T is our cell phone carrier. I don't know who the major carrier for straight talk is but I would start there first.

I actually have my STRAIGHT talk sim card in it, I just haven't set my APN yet, this phone has to have extra data so it you decide to get it make sure you get a small data card for storage space and downloads

Currently, this is my application. Bought 2 for that reason. Download speed is slower. Straight Talk comes with 2 sims. You will have to see which service is better for area (T-Mobile/ AT&T;).

Yes it is . You will have to purchase a Straight Talk/AT&T; Compatible SIM card . It's about $15 bucks , not that bad.

I am using lyca mobile (carried by t mobile network,). It works pretty well. Straight talk is carried by Verizon, it does not work with Verizon therefore m not sure if it will work for strAight talk

Hey Jerry, so from my understanding you can switch your SIM card to the straight talk phone and you should be able to use it. I would definitely suggest asking them if you are able to use it with them just to double check though:)

U would need to call straight talk directly. I live in Idaho and it worked good in town -but not in the country due to some licensing problem where straight talk couldnt use other provider's cell towers-the service out of town was bad.

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.

Just to make sure I understand straight talk plan, are you asking if this phone is unlocked?
