Hello jenniferwilliams,

Straight talk's service began with the Tracfone. However, there have been service upgrades and currently have more variety on what model phone can work with their service.

However, there are so many model cellular phones today that the list would be extensive. Instead, Straight Talk offers the option to fill in the requested information about the phone you would like to use with their service by going onto their support website, which can be accessed here.

If your phone's model can be used, you will know instantly. Then you can decide if you want to use their service with that phone and/or keep the same number, according to preference.


Much appreciation to those who acknowledge our members for their contribution toward finding a solution.

Hi!

If you are referring to our Bring Your Own Phone program, you may use our service If you have an AT&T or T-Mobile compatible or an unlocked domestic GSM phone, which operates on our compatible frequencies (850 and 1900 MHz), you can buy a Straight Talk SIM card. The BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) Program will also include CDMA phones. Customers will be able to bring their CDMA compatible phone to Straight Talk by purchasing a Network Access Code (NAC), for $14.99 plus tax, and an Unlimited or Unlimited ILD Airtime/Service Card. Phones that are not compatible are other CDMA carriers: Metro PCS, phones that are 4G LTE technology from certain CDMA carriers, our branded phones (TracFone, NET10, Straight Talk, SafeLink, or Telcel America), iPhone models; 5, 5C and 5S, Blackberry, iPads, or tablets. Please be advised that iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S phone models from certain CDMA carriers are now eligible for the BYOP CDMA program. Please note that only inactive iPhone 4 and 4S devices from your service provider are allowed. If your phone meet the requirements for our BYOP Program, you may use the phone for the program. For more details about this program, please visit our website at www.straighttalkbyop.com or send me an email at [email protected].

Hi. Straight Talk will only take Straight Talk branded phones. Neither will a GSM unlocked device work with them. Also see https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091205182714AAfO0Eu
