Bring your own phone to Straight Talk with Straight Talk SIM and save thousands on your cell phone bill.
Want to get unlimited talk, texting and data on Straight Talk or Net 10 for $45 a month?
You can keep your existing phone and take it to Straight Talk or Net 10 to get great service at a great price. You’ll still use the towers of AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, but you’ll pay Straight Talk instead of your current carrier (even though you’re still using their towers).
Below we will tell you which phones you can use and which plans you can pick from.
Be sure to read the details, as just being on the list below is not good enough – your phone must also be unlocked or locked to postpaid Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile.
Also, if your phone is not on the list below it may still work if it is unlocked or locked to postpaid Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile. This is not an exhaustive list of all phones that work.

What size of straight talk sim card would a HTC inspire take the micro or the regular?
Teresa,
I believe the HTC inspire takes a regular size SIM card.
Can I use an unlocked dual sim card with just one sim card in it since I will only be using it in my state of Texas? I think the dual is more for overseas to get a signal from different towers. Also does the TV feature work on the phone with Stright Talk for when Im at the Drs. waiting? And besides the android apps, can you also get the itune apps via the internet service ? Thanks for a reply.
Beverlee, I believe you can use just one Straight Talk SIM card if your phone supports dual SIM and it should work fine.
TV features are generally provided by mainstream carriers and it may not work on Straight Talk. You can use Android applications & watch YouTube videos, but streaming TV is prohibited by the Straight Talk terms of service. You cannot use iTunes on Straight Talk, but Google Music can be used.
Will a tmobile 4g work? I tried my brothers sim card out of his straight talk phone in mine and it said network locked
me, T-Mobile phones will work with Straight Talk SIM. You must purchase a Straight Talk SIM – you cannot take a SIM card out of an existing Straight Talk phone and place it into a T-mobile phone and expect it to work. See my previous article on SIM cardsto find out how to purchase a SIM.
I was wondering if I can use a T-mobile or At&t pre-paid phone with straight talk?
Jill, You sure may use a T-mobile or AT&T prepaid phone with Straight Talk SIM.
I have a Pantech breakout smartphone will it work?
Kara, The Pantech Breakout is a CDMA phone, so it will not work with Straight Talk SIM. If you would like a smartphone on the Verizon network, check out the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim – it is an incredible value.
Otherwise you can get any other AT&T / T-Mobile (or unlocked GSM) phone and you can use it with Straight Talk SIM.
Thanks for your question
Will my Pantech breakout smartphone work with the straight talk Sim card? Some sights say yes and others say no! This is driving me crazy…
I have a Garmin Phone and a samsung comeback. Both are from T Mobile and I was wondering if these phones will work with straight talk.
Sylvia, Yes – they should work fine on Straight Talk. Thanks for your question!
I have a droid pro xt610. The pro is on your list but it’s unclickable. Do I need to unlock it & how do I know which sim to buy? It’s rooted would that be a problem?
Stephanie, The Droid Pro should be able to be used on Straight Talk because it has a GSM radio inside. However, it could be a bit tricky to get it to work and you most definitely DO need it to be unlocked. You would purchase the “generic” SIM From Straight Talk SIM. The worst thing that could happen is that you are out $60 for 1 month of service and the SIM, and you have to sell the Droid and use the SIM with another phone.
Can i use a samsung charge for straight talk?
Anna, The Samsung Droid Charge I510 will not work with Straight Talk SIM as it is a CDMA phone. You can check out Page Plus, who offers prepaid service for CDMA, or your could sell your phone on eBay or Craigslist and pick up another Straight Talk phone. I recommend the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, it is a great phone that works on the Verizon nationwide network.
i have an HTC VIVID that i was using with ATT and i was wondering if it works with stright talk? and would i be able to have unlimited talk, text, and web? also how fasst is it? does the LTE feautre still stay on my phone even though i won’t have the ATT service?
dom, If your HTC VIVID works with ATT it should work fine with Straight Talk. Yes, you should be able to have unlimted talk, text and web. Straight Talk SIM should preform at nearly the same speeds as the AT&T network, since it uses the AT&T network. The LTE feature may or may not stay on your phone depending on the area you are in. At the least you should receive 3G speeds.
Can I buy a Samsung Infuse 4G and use it as a prepaid phone for AT&T cards or Verizon prepaid?
Peg, You can buy a Samsung Infuse 4G and use it with Straight Talk SIM, as it supports the 850 and 1900Mhz bands.

Can I use my optimus s. Off a sprint. Plane how do I get in my mmenus to chang it to gsm
Mark, You cannot change your Optimus S to a GSM phone. You will need to purchase a new phone. The good news is that Straight Talk has several very good, very low cost Android offerings. See my article on the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim to get started.
Hey I was wondering if my Samsung infuse would work on straight talk?
Does it need to be unlocked or can I just purchase a sim card and insert it?

Angela,
Yes the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray should work fine with Straight Talk SIM. If it is with AT&T or T-Mobile you can order your SIM right now. If it is with another carrier, you will need to have the phone unlocked first.
I am looking into buying a phone and going to strait talk, and I am not sure of the dual sims that I am finding (they are the only affordable andriods that I can find), will they work with Strait Talk? Thanks! Julie
Julie, Any GSM phone that fits the criteria in the article above will work with Straight Talk SIM. It doesn’t matter how many SIM card slots that it has.
So I’m going to buy my girlffriend a Galaxy s 4G. She had the Galaxy precedent but broke it. Once I get the phone all she has to do is buy a straight talk sim card and have her old number transferred? Will I have to unlock that phone or will the MMS and internet and calls work once she puts the sim card in?
Pablo, the Galaxy S 4G will work if it is a GSM variant. If it is a GSM variant, you first need to check if the phone is either unlocked or locked to AT&T/T-Mobile. If it does not fall into one of those categories, you will need to get it unlocked first. Then, you can get a Straight Talk SIM card and insert it into the phone.
Actually I’m going to get her a samsung eternity. It accepts sim cards so that means it will be compatible?
Pablo, The Samsung Eternity specifications show that it supports both the 850 and 1900 Mhz GSM bands. If the phone is locked to AT&T or T-Mobile or is unlocked, it should work well with Straight Talk SIM.
I have a T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4G…I got it unlocked and the T-mobile APN address deleted so that Straight Talk’s APN was the only option…I still am not able to get on the internet or send/ receive picture messages….any idea how I can fix this?
Tasha,
Call Straight Talk Customer Support – they can help you with this.

Just wondering, The Dell Streak 5 should work if it is unlocked. You should be able to get everything working. MMS can be a bit tricky to setup but I think it could also be setup as well.
I can’t figure out how to change the APN settings for my iPhone – I just activated my SIM and its working on straight talk, but the lady said that I have to change the APN settings…can’t find where or how?
Lorie,
Check out this article about how to change the APN on Apple iOS: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2283
Hi, thanks for the great article. I bought a Galaxy Nexus and have been using it with Straight Talk for two months now. Everything has been great. I convinced a friend to make the switch. He has a T-Mobile Nexus S. Do you think there will be any problem if he buys the AT&T SIM. From what I understand the Nexus S comes unlocked. But since he activated the Straight Talk SIM he has been getting Edge speeds wherever he goes. Everything else works fine but the data isn’t as fast as it should be. Do you have any idea why this is happening?
thanks!
Drodzand,
I believe the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone has the wrong bands to get 3G coverage from the AT&T towers. He is likely getting 2G EDGE speeds only because of this. He might have better success with a T-Mobile SIM. Please report back with an update.
Straight talk states that you can bring any att or tmobile unlocked phone including smartphones over to their new sim program. We bought a 3g pantech 7000 and only text and phone will work. No picture messaging nor internet. Called Straight talk and they said phone is no good. Went to 2 walmarts and no help there. Went to see a friend at an ATT store and she could not change the settings. Bought a Pantech 810 smartphone and same thing. NO one knows how to change the APN settings on the phone. Once again the phone and text works. Can these phones not be used on the new straight talk service? If they will work, can you email me where to go on the phone to change the settings. Downloaded both manuals and no help there. Thanks
Jon,
Try some of the cellular forums like howard forums – they may have an answer for you on this topic.
Article needs updated,Droid Bionic,Droid 4 and Droid Razor from Verizon are dual-band GSM/CDMA and WILL work with ST. I’m switching my Droid 4 to ST soon. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714
Dik,
Thanks for the inforamtion! Glad to hear that more phones are able to be used with Staright Talk SIM!
I have seen unlocked phones online for great prices, and they say “GSM 850/900/1800/1900″ but often the fine print says they work only with 1900 mHz. Will this keep the phone from working with Straight Talk sim cards?
Anida,
If you get a phone that only works on the 1900Mhz band, you are at risk of losing significant coverage areas. Look for a phone that really supports both the 850 and 1900 Mhz GSM bands.
Hi! I have a Motorola Atrix Smart phone through at&t…How can I make it work on Straightalk? I need step by step instructions, I am NOT savy when it comes to phones 🙁 Any info on the above situation is WELCOME! THANK YOU!!
Adri,
Go to Straight Talk SIM by clicking on the word “SIM Cards” in my previous article on this topic.
Then, purchase an AT&T SIM Card from Straight Talk SIM. Wait for it to come in the mail, and then insert it into your phone in place of the existing SIM.
If you need any more help, post back here and I’ll try and walk you through it.
hi, would a HTC One V work?
zh,
Yes, the HTC One V should work with Straight Talk as it is a GSM phone that supports the 850 & 1900 Mhz bands. Just make sure it meets all the other requirements above.
I am having a T-Mobile HTC HD2. The 2 year contract with T-Mobile expired and I am looking to replace it with a SIM card that works with AT&T. The HD2 is unlocked as I used it with European Carriers SIM cards.
My Question is will I be able to connect to the AT&T network with 3G speeds as they are available in my area. The T-Mobile coverage is not good enough in my area as they just drops too many calls for my liking.
More2Do,
Sure, you can us the T-Mobile HTC HD2 at 3G speeds on the AT&T network in your area since the phone is unlocked. Just buy the AT&T SIM.
The droid 2 global does NOT work on straight talk, it’s a verizon phone and it will not work.
Darhien, The Droid 2 Global has a GSM radio even though it is a Verizon phone and is the exception to the rule that Verizon phones won’t work with Straight Talk SIM. The phone MUST be unlocked and possibly rooted to make it work. Do you have proof that it will not work in this situation?
Hi,
I have a B1000+ Android Cell Phone, Brand CECT, Dual Sim, Unlocked, GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband)can be used all over the world except the 3G and CDMA network. It is new, never been used. I assume if it is compatible with Straight Talk, it would required the standard sim cards, correct? Please advise. Thanks!!
Lda,
Check the owners manual to find the correct SIM Card size for your phone.
Does the Samsung Note have to be rooted for the BYOP plan from straight talk to work. It is AT&T branded

will the unlocked motorla v3 work, with the straight talk T255 flip sim card ?
Greg,
You must get a new SIM from Straight Talk if you want to use a non-Straight Talk phone with Straight Talk service.
The RAZR v3 will work with Straight Talk SIM if you purchase an new SIM.
Will a ZOPO ZP500 phone using Dual Sims running OS:Android 4.0 and GSM 850/900/1800/1900 Unlocked work with StraightTalk BYOP ? I
am currently a Tracfone and Straighttalk customer.

I was told the samsung sidekick t 839 when unlocked will accept a sim card to be used off the verizon towers in my area,ther is poor recepyion here from att.my zip is 65536…..HELP! What do I do?
Terry G, You were given bad information. You cannot take a Verizon phone to Straight Talk at this time.
Does a Pantech Link work with the Straight Talk sim?
Brianna,
The Pantech link should work fine with Straight Talk SIM.
With Straight Talk a person cannot go into roaming, which means that the ST phone will only use the towers it is programmed to use. If I were to purchase a Quad Band GSM/WCDMA Android Smartphone, would that phone have the capability of using alternate tower signals in order to roam?
Yolanda,
You can roam with Straight Talk. Straight Talk does support roaming on their phones that use the AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon networks. This is not true on many other prepaid carriers.
If you purchase a quad band phone it would give you the potential to access additional towers; however the WCDMA coverage won’t do you any good. Overall I would say the benefit would be extremely marginal.
I have an htc status and I purchased the proper sim card, but my phone is saying no service. Am I not able to use this phone, does it have to be unlocked, or is something wrong with the phone?
Kashawana,
Perhaps you have no service in your area? Call Straight Talk customer support.
So, I’ve been reading some comments but im’ still not completely sure. Will the Samsung Captivate Glide run off of the Straight Talk sim card? I read somewhere else that it won’t work with the sim and I really want that phone seeing as it has touch screen and qwerty.
Kristen,
The Samsung Captivate Glide should work fine with Straigtt Talk SIM, so long as the other above requirements are met and you purchase a Straight Talk SIM Card.
Thanks
I bought a pantech breakout phone model number ADR8995 from a friend of mine! I am not happy with the verizon prepaid plan! If I get it unlocked will I be able to use it with Tmobile prepaid or any other company that uses a sim card?

No, you cannot use a Verizon phone with Straight Talk. Check out your options at https://phonebillcut.com/ – also check out Page Plus.
will strait talk work with att samsung rugbury? do i need to stay connected to att before i change phone service for strait talk to keep same number?
Neraida –
Yes, the AT&T Samsung Rugby will work fine with Straight Talk. Generally if you desire to keep the same number you should keep your service active until the number has been ported, at which point your old service will terminate.
I have a samsung galaxy skyrocket i purchased a micro sim from straight talk because i had the htc one x would the micro sim still work in the skyrocket even tho it takes a regular sim card
Zach, You might be able to get the MicroSIM to work if you have an SIM card adapter. However these don’t always work that well.
A friend of mine offered to give me her ATT HTC Vivid, however my carrier is Verizon. If I get a Straight Talk SIM for the HTC Vivid, will I be able to use it as a Verizon phone? Thanks!
Melinda,
No, you cannot use the HTC Vivid CDMA phone with Straight Talk SIM. Straight Talk SIM only works with GSM phones.
My samsung infuse was a contract att phone. Not on contract anymore. I am using a att sim card. Will straight talk work on my infuse?
Tracey,
Yes – Your Samsung Infuse will work fantastically with Straight Talk SIM!
I’ve been checking out new prepaid phones and virgin mobile’s HTC EVO is definitely the phone I want, but they have terrible data. Can I use this phone on straight talk?
Lindsey,
Virgin Mobile phones cannot be ported to Straight Talk.
I’m also wondering if phones from overseas would work? I’m hesitant to buy but would much rather get the “android” branded MTK6575 N8000. The bands are both there and it says unlocked, but I’d really like some reassurance since I can only afford to buy one phone.
Lindesy, Overseas GSM phones should work fine with Straight Talk SIM, so long as they are unlocked.
Hi I was wondering if my LG Nitro HD would work on straight talk? Does it need to be unlocked or can I just purchase a sim card and insert it?

1.hd screen

A great phone for you to try would be the Samsung Galaxy S III (Follow the link above to locate a prime deal from a reputable seller on amazon.com)
Please note that Straight Talk does not permit accessing the Internet from any device but your smartphone – you may not use it as a WiFi hotspot.
Sony xperia u St25a
Bryan, Yes I believe the Sony xperia u St25a will work with Straight Talk SIM. IT will need to be unlocked unless it was with AT&T or T-Mobile before.
I have a straight talk phone now. I want to get an at&t HTC Vivid will that work with the sim card? If so which one would I need to buy. And can I keep my old straight talk number? Thanks
Adrian,
The AT&T HTC Vivid will work with Straight Talk SIM. You will need to get a SIM Card for it from Straight talk. You probably can port your number, you will need to call Straight Talk to take care of that.
If i buy a straight talk smart phone from someone do i have to buy a sims card?
miss me, If the Straight Talk Android was sold by Straight Talk you do not need a SIM Card, just an airtime card, which you can purchase from Straight Talk or at WalMart.

I am wondering ,whether those Chinese android phones works on straight talk?
Amy, The Chinese Android phones may work if they meet the above criteria.
I too am having a problem getting service for the Motorola Droid 2 Global. I was told by Straight Talk customer service, when trying to purchase a sim card, that the phone will not work with their system. As language skills made it difficult for us to understand each other I did not debate the issue with him. The phone is unlocked, if I just buy the proper fitting sim card and call to activate will the phone work? I’m ignorant of the phone terms how would I know if the phone is “rooted”?
I too am having a problem getting Straight Talk service with my Motorola Droid 2 Global. The customer service rep insisted it would not work, since we were having language skill problems with each other I did not debate the issue. If I just buy the correct sim card and call to activate will the phone work? I’m not familiar with cell phone terms, how would I know if the phone is “rooted”?
Will the samsung eternity work on straight talk?
Kandis, Yes the Samsung Eternity should work fine on Straight Talk SIM. It is a GSM phone.
I have a LG Thrill P925 and want to know if it will work with straight talk.
Danielle, Yes, the LG Thrill P925 should work with Straight Talk as long as it is either locked to AT&T or T-Mobile or unlocked. Please note that you will not have 4G Speeds with this phone on Straight Talk. If you must have 4G, check out your other options at https://phonebillcut.com/
can stright talk work for Samsung Galaxy Note N7000, I plan on buying this phone internationally. what if I plan on using WiFi, will that help with data issues?
Luna,
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 will work great with Straight Talk SIM.
Wi-Fi is often better than 3G service. Therefore yes, if you use Wi-Fi instead of Straight Talk whenever possible it should provide you with superior speed. However I think you will also find that you get adequate speed through the Straight Talk 3G network when you are away from Wi-Fi.
Also, when you are on Wi-Fi you may use all of the items that are restricted in the Straight Talk Terms of Service, such as streaming music, video, etc
