Three iPhones in their docks

I frequently am asked the question – can I use my iPhone on Straight Talk with their Straight Talk SIM program?  The answer is most often Yes, but the are some cases where you can’t.

Check our quick chart below to find out if you can port your phone.  Flip over your phone and look at the model number, and then match it with the chart below.  If you’re a “Yes” go to Straight Talk SIM and purchase your SIM card today and get ready to cut ties with your current carrier.  If you plan to port your number, don’t cancel your contract until you request the number port so that it will go through successfully.

Why would you want to switch to Straight Talk anyway?  If you don’t know about this, be sure to read our full post on why Straight Talk is a great choice for most people.  In a nutshell: Nationwide network, Unlimited Service, Low Price, No Contract, No Taxes.

What if I have a “No” and can’t port to Straight Talk?   Easy!  Just sell your iPhone on eBay or Amazon.com – iPhones have great resale.  Then purchase a GSM iPhone on Amazon.com or eBay and you’re ready to go with Straight Talk!

  • I’m a little stumped and need some help. I have a samsung 390g thru straight talk and apparently is uses at&t towers. My issue is that my home is in zip code 66509 and my work is 66440. 5 miles apart. At home I get one bar of signal and at work I get all my bars. Now here is the question. My wife has a tracfone a lg500g and at home and work it has all it bars (full signal). I dont know how our why but I’m trying to duplicate this with straightalk. Any idea’s how. It so confusing that her’s work everywhere she goes. I checked it does have a sim card in it

    • Perhaps your wife’s LG500G has a T-Mobile SIM?

      Different phones will have different receptions. SIM Cards in the US can be from either T-Mobile or AT&T, and they are much different networks.

      Have you figured out what is going on? We’d love to know.

      • Thanks for the reply. It cant be t-mobile as they dont have service in my area. I’m still lost
