This specific phone it's only for metro pcs, straight talk it's a different system on its own.unless she uses metro pcs she won't be able to use the fone .

If you bought the CDMA version, get a refund and buy the new GSM version from the MetroPCS website. Metro plans are superior to Straight Talk.

The CDMA version is discontinued and works only in 10% of American cities. The new GSM version sold at the MetroPCS website is locked to the Metro/T-Mobile network.

Yes he can use straight talk with this phone and if you needed to buy cards for apps or anything else you can buy cards at Wal-Mart

Yes you can you just have to order the straight talk chip first or you can have it sent to you local walmart . Just make sure you put it in the correct slot , the phone has 2 sim card slots . My phone was connected on the 2nd sim card slot.

Yes, I have never used mine as a prepaid. Once I inserted the new sim card from T-Mobile it works like any other phone.

As an unlocked phone it is capable of working with any GSM Carrier providing their services using a SIM Card.However, we can only guarantee basic call and text, we recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure they provide their services to this model phone without any restrictions. Make sure Straight Talk is a GSM carrier. This device uses a Mini-SIM card.

I don't know anything about straight talk. I used a Wind/Orange sim in mine until my son decided he needed my phone and he is using his sim in it now. If the phone is unlocked it should be able to take the sim from any carrier.

I have never used prepaid plans. A phone dealer can answer this question. If a phone is unlocked, probably can be used with any plan. The phone in the picture looks like it is locked for verizon only.

I use mine with Straight Talk and it works great. All you have to do is call them, ask them to send you a SIM card (It's free) and insert the SIM card into the slot inside your phone casing. After the SIM is in, get your card and activate as usual.

I have straight talk. Activated without any problems You must buy a sim card from S.T. The problem is the APN. You must change it.

If you live in USA, yes, you certainly can. You could use this phone with any card prepaid because the phone is UNLOCKED! It is UNLOCKED!! Its original carrier was AT&T.; I checked with T-Mobile and worked it! It will work with any prepaid carrier.

You would have to get one that specifies Verizon or that runs on the same type of network (CDMA or GSM...I think MAYBE Verizon is CDMA). Mine is an AT&T; Unlocked phone which means I can use it on the AT&T; network even though Straight Talk is my provider.

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 am pretty sure you can, these phones are unlocked so I am not sure why you couldn't use it prepaid.

Yes the phone works with straight talk but you will need to pick up the similar card for straight talk they are usually under 15 bucks and its pretty easy to get the service started too.

It's pretty obvious. the prepaid card says 270$ right on it, yet they sell them for 385? You should never pay more than 45$/month for straight talk. The only authorized place to buy ST is walmart or walmart.com. These should be the only places you get cards. These people are probably stealing the unscanned cards at walmart and selling them, while they only work after you run them through the register

It's not a prepaid phone. Is UNLOCKED- which means that this phone can be used as a replacemant phone for under contract, or as a prepaid phone. IN bouth cases you will need the SIM card : An used sim card if you do have previous contract or a New sim card that you dont have one, and you can buy for $10 prepaid near you. Its a good mobile but it does not come with a sim card.
