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.

will my pantech pocket work with a straight talk sim card. i wanna switch but do straight talk got small sim cards ?
Straight Talk has Micro SIM Cards available.
I have a droid x by motorola that was under contract with verizon. I really want to switch it to straight talk. Is it possible?
Jennifer, Unfortunately Verizon phones cannot be ported to Straight Talk. Check out Page Plus or sell your phone on eBay and get another Android phone like the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim (which even runs on the Verizon network!)
I had the samsung galaxy proclaim
And it ran off at&t hat’s why I got rid of mine.It wouldn’t pick up service.
If your phone had bad service with AT&T, I wouldn’t count on getting any better service by placing a Straight Talk SIM into the phone unless you first unlock the phone and buy the T-Mobile SIM. That could offer you better service at your particular location. Review their coverage maps to see if this might be the case and then choose your SIM as needed. Otherwise sell your phone on eBay or Amazon.com and pick up the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim directly from Straight Talk as it runs on the Verizon network.
Will the AT&T Samsung Impression SGH-A877 work with Straight Talk Sim cards?
Angel, Yes the Samsung Impression SGH-A877 should work fine with Straight Talk SIM
Do China gsm+wcdma work with this
Terrell,
I would avoid off-brand Chinese Android phones, as they are buggy and risky to use from a security perspective. However if they are unlocked they should work with Straight Talk SIM.

Your AT&T Pantech 4 LTE should work fine with Straight Talk SIM. You probably have coverage where you are, though check the detailed Straight Talk coverage maps on our site to be sure

I would avoid this phone. However it should work so long as it supports the 850 & 1900 Mhz bands.
Hi, I bought a new LG-E900h windows phone, I can call and text, but no web browsing…called tech support at Straight Talk, they said that there is no way to set the APN…little help please, really love a windows phone..

I am locked to At&T, but ordered a sun today.
Will this work on my Samsung galaxy skyrocket s2
Mary, Yes – it should work fine with the Skyrocket S2
I have a older t-mobile samsung galaxy 2 side slide phone in excellent condition w/3 GB capability and 850/1900 frequency—-will a straight talk sim card work in that kind of phone?? the T-mobile galaxy 3 was on the list that would work and I think the only difference is 3 GB to 4 GB—-I’d like to use the phone, but refuse to go under contract again—-was with T-mobile for about 8 years and went over my minutes by 1 hour and it cost me $45 extra—- the same as ! month of unlimited straight talk—-need I say more, they lost a customer!—- would appreciate an answer to my question on my E-mail–thank you
The T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II should work fine with Straight Talk SIM
Will the at&t pantech burst p9070 work with straight talk ??? I’ve read at other sites straight talks Sim card doesn’t fit?? Is this correct
Kimberly, The Pantech Burst should work fine with Straight Talk SIM. You may need to get a micro-sim if that is what the phone takes; you can find that out by taking out the current SIM, measuring it and looking up the specifications online.
sidekick 4g unlocked
Yes, a Sidekick 4G should work fine on Straight Talk SIM
Hey will a fx stx 2 work on straight talk its unclocked gem an refurbish
Kelly, Yes an FX STX 2 should work as it supports the 850 and 1900Mhz bands, which Straight Talk requires
I plan on buying this phone with the intentions of switching it to straight talk.I however already have a phone with straight talk and have paid my bill for this.So my question is if I already have a set up plan with straight talk which sim card do i need to buy for the fx stx 2the at&t compatible thats $14.96 or the at&t compatible sim w/$45 airtime card Bundle thats 54.96?
Thanks for your question. If you have a Straight Talk phone that you purchased a Straight Talk SIM For, I believe you can transfer the SIM by calling customer support. If you are trying to transfer the SIM from a regular Straight Talk phone, I don’t think that will work.
Wanting to switch HTC vivid from att over. Is it compatible?
Ochoa, Yes, pretty much all AT&T phones will work on Straight Talk SIM.
Is the cell phone LG A340, a unlocked,GSM phone
The LG A340 should work fine with Straight Talk SIM, however you might just consider getting a new phone from Straight Talk so you can use the $30 “All you need” plan. You might also want to check out Phone Bill Cut to look at all of your prepaid options.
I was wondering what size sim card works in the att pantech impact?
Do you have a photo of the current card in the phone?
Does it work for the samsung doubletime?
Amair NY, Yes, the Samsung DoubleTime should work with Straight Talk SIM.
I have been a straight talk customer for one year. I recently purchased an at&t pantech burst with straight talks SIM card program. I added all of the suggested APN settings into my phone, but for some reason now have zero talk reception when I am at home. I had great reception on my old straight talk phone, what could be the issue?
Sara, What was your old Straight Talk phone? It could be that your old phone ran on the Verizon network, and your new phone is on AT&T – and their coverage may not be equivalent in your house.
I have a huwei accend 2 this work
Will, No the Huwei Ascend won’t work on Straight Talk SIM as it is not a GSM phone.
will the HTC ONE X WORK ON STRAIGHT talk.
Thanks Terry
Terry, Yes, the HTC ONE X is an AT&T Phone and it should work fine with Straight Talk SIM.
Will the kyocera Rise from virgin mobile work with a straight talk sim, I like the service from straight talk but I want the kyocera rise phone.
Sam, Virgin Mobile phones will not work on Straight Talk. Straight Talk has a number of good Android phones, including the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, and also allows you to bring your own GSM phone (so long as it meets the requirements listed above)
Will an at&t Samsung captivate work with a st sim?
Yes, the AT&T Samsung Captivate will work with Straight Talk SIM.
Hey, I am checking for a friend to see if she can use her Motorola Android Boost phone on Straight Talk?
Sheila, Boost phones cannot be used on Straight Talk. However, she could sell her Boost phone on Craigslist / eBay and get another from Straight Talk; they have phones starting at a very low price (sometimes free)
This is a great site!! Much more informative than some of the others I have been to lately! I have been seaching for some answers to a few questions I have before making the ST change.
I am looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy S2 (i777 vs t989). I have read on some sites that the Galaxy S2 that ST sell has had some of the functions or setting changed thus it isn’t the same as a GS2 I can buy from ebay. What is your info. on this?
One of the advantages of buying outright would be I could get updates and I believe you don’t from ST. Am I correct on this?
Would getting updates even do me any good?
Does it matter if I get a locked AT&T or T-Mobile phone if I plan on using a AT&T SIM?
Lastly, the i777 vs t989? Can I get 3G on either one?
Deanna,
Thanks for your comment & kind words.
The Straight Talk Galaxy S2 may or may not ever have an update. Unless there are software bugs, this is probably OK, and you won’t ever need an update. In reality, it is unlikely that the AT&T / T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II phones will see much of an update, they are probably end of life as carriers are focusing on newer/better phones.
If you buy a AT&T or T-Mobile version of the S2, it does not matter if the phone is unlocked or not. I believe you will be able to get 3G on either one without a problem.
Let us know what you decide and how it works out!
have rhw at&t fusion 2 will it work. can make and recieve calls but wed not working. any help?????
imm, Could you please explain your problem in a little more detail?
I have a question about a blackberry torch. I have been looking for a smartphone to put onto the straight talk network. This girl has one and told me that she got at SIM card and put it into the blackberry torch and it worked on the straight talk network. This list says that NO blackberrys will work on the network. Is this true or is she just trying to get rid of the phone? I also asked her a question about if the phone came with the SIM card if i bought it and she said no she transfer the card into her new phone. I also thought you could not transfer SIM cards from one phone to another?
Also had someone else try to sell me a verizon lg spectrum. It is unlocked and he said they got a verizon phone to work with straight talk network as well so he told me if I bought a SIM card it should work. I thought Verizon phones did not work with straight talk and i told him that and he did not believe me.
Please help!!!!! im in desperate need!!! i really want the verizon lg spectrum to work….love the phone but not going to take a chance of it not working.
Ashley, The official Straight Talk position is that BlackBerry phones do not work with their network. However, many people do use GSM BlackBerry phones on the Straight Talk network; they just don’t have access to the BlackBerry features – it just works as a phone with texting & data, no BlackBerry mail, etc. That being said, you probably won’t get any support from Straight Talk if you run into problems since they say “No” to BlackBerry.
The Verizon phone definitely will not work on Straight Talk.
Straight Talk has very inexpensive phones, starting at FREE, so just get a new phone from them OR buy one of the phones on the above list by following the link to amazon.com
Will this work with the Motorola Flipout?
Caleb,
It appears that Yes, it should work with the Motorola Flipout as it is a GSM phone that supports the 850 & 1900 Mhz bands. You’ll need the phone unlocked unless it is an AT&T or T-Mobile issued phone.
Would a T-Mobile Sidekick LX work with straight?
Yes, the T-Mobile Sidekick LX should work fine with Straight Talk SIM. Be sure to follow the instructions above to make sure you are saving on your SIM purchase.
Hi I just purchased a brand new phone with intentions to go to straight talk. My question is on the site I bought it from it says at@t amd teen mobile compatible so I was wondering should I buy an at@t micro sim or teen mobile or unlocked sim from your website. I want AT&T coverage but just not sure which micro sim to buy thanks
Kayla, If you want AT&T coverage, buy the AT&T sim. Thanks for visiting the site!
i have a verizon pantech 4g lte will it work with straight talk it has a sim card please let me know
Betty,
No, the Verizon Pantech 4g will likely not work with Straight Talk. You might want to check out another prepaid carrier called Page Plus, who allows the use of Verizon phones on their network.
Hi,
Just want to know Panteach model #ADR8995VW with Verizon is the GSM phone? Can I use it as the Straight Talk SIM? Can I insert a different SIM card if I out of country?
Thanks,
Jen
According to information I found online, it does not look like this phone supports GSM, and would not work on Straight Talk SIM. Check out Page Plus cellular.
unlocked samsung SGH-A837 will this phone work an do you no apn settings thanks
Joe, Yes – the Samsung Rugby SGH-A837 is a GSM phone and it will work with Straight Talk SIM.
What about the atrix hd and the Samsung captivate gulide??????
Joseph, The Motorola ATRIX HD MB886 does have GSM capabilities, and should work with Straight Talk SIM. You may need to have it unlocked, unless the phone is locked to AT&T or T-Mobile. The Samsung Captivate slide is a GSM phone from AT&T that should also work with Straight Talk SIM.
what about a samsung focus flash, it is a windows phone and I cant send or receive any pic messages?
Debi,
I would suggest contacting Straight Talk Customer Support on this one. They can advise what is possible with this phone. As you already know, talk & data should work fine.
Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G, a GSM phone,was on a T-Mobile plan. Ok for ST without unlocking?
Frank, Yes you can use the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G on Straight Talk without unlocking. Keep in mind that it won’t work on 4G though. However there are other prepaid carriers that do support 4G, see Phone Bill Cut for more information on this.
will a verizon droid charge work with a straight talk sim card
Ray, The Verizon Droid Charge will not work with a Straight Talk SIM Card as it is a CDMA phone, not a GSM phone. However there are options for you. Check out Phone Bill Cut for some of them, and also check out Page Plus cellular. Also, consider selling the phone and getting one of Straight Talk’s android offerings.

Can I use my t mobile Samsung sidekick 4g with a straight talk SIM card?
And if the answer is yes, will I have the same service coverage as my friend who has a different phone with a straight talk sim? Basically I like the phone but t mobile service does not work at my house or work. But my friends straight talk does. Thanks in advance for any help!
Yes, you can use your T-Mobile sidekick.
Your friends phone could have different coverage. If he has an AT&T SIM, his phone will prefer/use the AT&T network. IF he has a T-Mobile SIM, then his phone will use/prefer the T-Mobile network. You might want to get your phone unlocked and choose the AT&T SIM if T-Mobile does not work at your residence.
Will a AT & T Fusion th 2 Go-Phone work with Straight Talk?
Yes, this phone should work. However you may need to have it unlocked first.

The Samsung doubletime 1857 will work with Straight Talk SIM. IT will need to be unlocked if it is not with AT&T or T-Mobile.
The T-Mobile Sharp 2009 will work with Straight Talk SIM.
I have a iPhone 4 from AT&T that is under contract and was wondering do I have to get my contract terminated to get service with straight talk. Please give me step by step on what I should do when I get the SIM card and the $45 plan card. Thanks
1) Order your SIM from Straight Talk using the links above.
2) Request Straight Talk to port your number from AT&T
3) Your AT&T contract will terminate at the number port request
4) Pay your last AT&T bill and start saving big money on Straight Talk!
I’m. Getting a htc hd2 and I don’t know if my micro sd will work with it
This phone takes a Mini SIM, so you will need an adapter to use a micro-sim with it
Hi,
Can my iphone 4S ,which is under contract with AT&T now, work with this $45/month plan?
Yes, you definitely can switch to the $45/month plan with your AT&T iPhone. All you need to do is get the SIM – no unlocking required! See our post on iPhones and Straight Talk for more information.
Hi! I’m looking into Straight Talk since US Cellular is getting out of control with their prices…. Can you tell me if any of these 3 phones from US Cellular will work with Straight Talk??
HTC Desire
HTC Touch Pro2
Blackberry Curve 9330
Thank you!
Pretty much any US Cellular phone will work with Straight Talk SIM if it is unlocked first. The Blackberry phone won’t work as Straight Talk does not allow them on their network.
I have a Samsung Captivate Glide, I was wanting to know what all do I have to do to make my Samsung Captivate Glide work on Straight Talk? I was wanting to switch to the Straight Talk $45 unlimited plan. That includes talk,text,and data. Thanks!
All you need to do is purchase a SIM using the links above – it will walk you through the process. Then you simply need to install the SIM in your phone with the provided instructions and you’re up and going with Straight Talk!
well it says that you canot use a blckberry bu it says that if the phone has gsm 850 and 1900 then i am all set and i looked up the blackberry on your google phone research link at the top of this page and all the blackberies have the gsm 850 and gsm 1900
Brandon, You may be able to make the phone feature on a Blackberry work on the Straight Talk network – however most of the other features including the Blackberry e-mail features won’t work. Furthermore, Straight Talk does not allow BlackBerry devices in their terms of service – so it is a true statement that they won’t work.
Pantech Breakout according to PCMagazine is a dual band phone that operates in the 850 and 1900 bands. I noticed you’ve told several people that since it’s a Verizon phone, it will not work with Straight Talk. Is this true and why? Thanks.
The Pantech Breakout will not work with Straight Talk SIM. The reason for this is that it uses a CDMA radio. Straight Talk SIM only works with phones that have a GSM radio and accept a SIM Card. This is because Straight Talk SIM uses the AT&T and T-Mobile networks, and both of those networks are GSM networks.
correction to my question S5 Unlocked 4.0 inch HVGA Touch Screen Cell Phone With Quad Band Dual SIM Dual Cameras will this work with straighttalk PLAN?
Can you provide more information on this phone like the model number?
I have a basic Straight talk phone and it is Verizon network, I love Verizon service and Straight talk. I would like to keep the same phone number and get a touch screen phone from Straight talk and give the old phone to family member with a new number. Can I keep on the verizon network with a new Staight Talk service and touch screen phone and keep my old number on my new phone and get a new number with my old phone and stay with Straight talk?
Whew that was long!
Sally, You can continue to use Verizon with Straight Talk if you purchase a phone that runs on the CDMA network. I recommend that you check out the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, as it is a very nice Android touch-screen smartphone that runs on the Verizon network through Straight Talk. Then you can give your old phone to a family member and they can activate it with their own Straight Talk service plan.
Simply, will a palm centro be compatible with this straight talk sim card?
Lisa, This phone has all the right specs to work – However it uses a “mini” SIM and those are not offered through the Straight Talk SIM program.
I want to buy a Unlocked Titanium HTC G2 4G GSM Google Android QWERTY Smartphone for my daughter for christmas and she currently uses straight talk plan. Do you know if this phone will work?
Hi, that phone will work with Straight Talk SIM. Merry Christmas, sorry for the late reply!
I have a Verizon iphone 4 and i was wondering if it was possible to unlock it and use it with straight talk? instead of buying a used AT&T iphone 4
Please post the model number which can be found on the back of your phone, or check out my new post where you can cross-reference your iPhone model and find out if it will work with Straight Talk.
Would this work for ATT Pantech Burst locked?
Yes
If I buy a refurbished iphone 3 from gamestop do I have to jailbreak or unlock to use with straightalk sim card the gamestop guy said it is a at&t phone!
If the phone is an AT&T phone you do not need to unlock or jailbreak the phone.
How about a motorola Opus that was used on Nextel?
Nextel phones cannot be ported to any prepaid carrier.
