what is the difference between Gt-i9082 and i9082L? which one will work for straight talk in US?

The i9082 supports 900/1900/2100MHz. The i9082L supports 850/1900/2100MHz. Both versions will work in the U.S. with StraightTalk service. I prefer the L version because of 850/1900MHz, but as long there is 1900MHz, it's fine.

so which model is this? it seems people are receiving both i9082 and i9082L versions, even in the description it says that the frequency is Cellular Band 3G - 850 / 1900 / 2100 Mhz, and that only applies to the i9082L. The non L version is Cellular Band 3G - 900 / 1900 / 2100 Mhz. If there is a seller that ships the Gt-i9082 non L edition let me know and I'll buy one

I can't answer this question because the phone I bought was for a friend and there is no Straighttalk in his area. It works with an ATT sim card

Yes, this should work with Straight Talk and for that reason any carrier as it is 2G Quad frequency. Please note that for phone and text message you will find no difference from other phones. However if you are a heavy data user then this phone is only 2G and EDGE (2.5G) at best - you can check e-mail etc but takes time to load it. The only good side it that this phone is Wi-Fi compatible so wherever you run it on wi-Fi (external hot spot), you can do anything with it as far as data goes. It has limited ROM but accepts and additional micro SD card. Phone contact list is also exportable to micro SD card BUT NOT to your e-mail account.

This phone can work with any micro sim card. (TMobile, ATT). I do not know if Straight Talk use sim cards in their phones.

You should order the one for Verizon CDMA phones. Straight Talk Bring Your Own Phone CDMA Activation Kit for Verizon 3g CDMA phones (iPhone and 4g LTE Devices Not Supported)

I purchased an unlocked i747 in May 2013, bought the sim card from Walmart for Straight Talk service. I have not had problems with mine, it is updated to 4.4.2.I still like this phone and have no plans to replace it anytime in the future.

Hi. Actually this phone is for NET10 phone service. As someone else said the one for straight talk is more expensive. NET10 is a great phone service provider. I have had them for a few years now and have not had a problem at all. This phone is terrific. Good luck with your service and I can answer any other questions for you I will be happy to do so. Happy New Year also. Missy

Well, I've got the I9082L that I bought through Amazon.com and it works just fine with any SIM card, such as Claro, Vivo, Tim and Oi.

I would check with Net 10. Tracfone provides the service for both phones Net 10 and Straight Talk.

We have Walmart Family Mobile powered by T Mobile and it works great. I would contact Straight Talk and ask them if a T Mobile phone can be used on their network. Bet it will. Probably can get an answer from a Walmart phone sales person faster. And if you need help with the sim card (we did because I did't know you could punch out a smaller component from the larger one that was in the old phone) a Walmart person can probably help here too. Hope this helps.

It should, the S968C is the Straight Talk varient that uses the Verizon network (CDMA). The guy telling you to search for a GSM assembly is wrong.

Yes, it will work with Straight talk as long as it is ATT branded or Unlocked.
