Straight talk thru TracFone uses with permission all the major league carriers cell towers which is basically the TracFone prepaid network they have no cell towers of there own they just Lease them from other carriers and most of the phones straight talk are older unsold phones other carriers no longer want so they sell to budget wise consumers except the s3 which is cheaper from tmobile @300. Personally I'm sick of the s2 from boost it shuts off randomly sometimes when taking it off the charger and when using earbuds or headphones the volume will shoot straight up i read the s2 phones had a bad history of tech issues which is why Samsung discontunued them.I'm skipping the s3 & getting the s4 from metro

AT&T; is mostly the owner of tracfone also depending on the model of the straight talk phone is weather or not u use verizon network ATT network sprint ect. A Walmart rep will be able to inform you wich phone uses wich network

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.

Did you get your problem resolved? The phone I got was my daughters. I believe she also has Straight Talk with AT&T; sim. I think she had to change a setting in her phone to make it work on the Straight Talk network. We work different shifts so I don't see her much, I'll try to find out for you.

No, you will need a Straight Talk SIM if you change to Straight Talk as your provider. You may use the AT&T; network, but you will need a SIM from your new provider.

Heidi; phone I ordered was for AT-n T service carrier. Using a new sim-card they sent me. Many Tracfone do not use a sim card.

Mine came set up for ATT, if that is what you wanted to know. I bought a SIM card for Straighttalk but haven't been able to get on.

It's an unlocked carrier version like AT&T; and T-Mobile, I have the AT&T; version and I have it unlocked to work on straight talk

Unfortunately, Your phone wont be able to work on any carriers but AT&T and T-mobile because they are the only 2 companies providing services for GSM phones aka unlocked phones. You cant update it to use on straight talk because it is not going to do any good either. I hope this helped ya.

The G means it will either be on AT&T; towers or on Sprint towers. This is a Straight Talk phone.

This will work on straight talk provided that the phone is unlocked. However, the straight talk sim must be AT&T compatible for 3G speeds. Otherwise, the phone will get 2g to slower than 2g speeds.

You need to look for it by carrier not model number. AT&T are different than say version

This phone is a CDMA phone designed to work on the Verizon Networks. I bought because GSM, or AT&T; Network phones, had spotty coverage where I live. That's what the last digit in the model number stands for on Tracfones.

No because this phone is a cdma phone staight talk is gsm meaning straight talk uses SIM cards
