I'm using Straight Talk, but I'm in Europe and I'm not receiving calls from the US on my dual sim phone. Did anyone else's phone not work abroad?

It seems that the phone does not work properly when the sim card you are using is in the 2 position. Switch it to 1 position if your US sim is in 2. We receive calls on our Vodafone sim (Spain) from US when in Spain, but again it must be in the 1 position. This must be a flaw in the phone although it might have something to do with the foreign carrier. Not sure. Basically the dual sim position 2 is only a sim holder when in Europe.

I bought this phone and did not received any incoming call I live in Central America and didn't work at all, I had bought other phones cheaper than this one and they work perfect. I don't recomend to anybody buy this phone to use it over sea.

Dear friend, Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, it can work with straight talk sim card. However, this phone just support 2G network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz. So you should choose the 2G GSM straight talk sim card to use. Thanks a lot.

It works for me. Only in the US, the phone only has 3G capability vs. 4G in Europe. 3G is fast enough for me. I don't notice any difference,.

is it prepaid? AT&T; T-Mobile...is the sim compatible. I have two and both accepted the prepaid sims with no problem. walmart straight talk wont work on an unlocked phone. and then you could have defective phone

I have straight talk and it works for calls and texting so far the only issue im having is the data even after updating the APN for the sim card i have only gotten a edge data connection instead of 3G like im supposed to havent contacted straight talk yet but i plan to soon.

I have tried to see whether I could answer this. If Straight Talk is using the AT&T; 850mhz backbone than yes. If they are using the T-mobile backbone probably not. I know my Defy does not get 3G as my plan does not offer roaming on the AT&T; backbone. If Lin C. has tried this I would gladly say yes - otherwise I'd get more information before the purchase.

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.

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.

I've had this phone for quite a while and have not had problems with an att sim card or one card that I use when I go to Europe. It may be a t-mobile issue. With one of our other unlocked phones (an ATZ) we had to buy a special sim card from net zero for it to work. I hope this helps. This has been a great phone for me. I like it better than the 'smart' phone I have in terms of battery life and voice clarity.

Yes- the phone works with other SIM cards. I use Straight Talk,but it runs off of AT&T; towers.As long as the provider has service in your area, you should be good to go!

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!

If your service provider allows international call you should not have any problems. I used my phone to call the U.S. from the Republic of Panama but I am using a pre-paid sims.

The phone doesn't work at all with straight talk. It worked for a day but didn't get any service after the next day.

Hi Jessica - I do not know what Straight Talk is in USA. This is an unlocked Android phone and we purchased from USA and were able to set it up with Telus in Canada. As long as it is unlocked it may be okay. This probably doesn't help you much though. This is my son's phone and he quite likes it.
