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.

I have a iphone 6 and i am currently with T-Mobile. my coverage is awful and my bill is too high so i was looking into straight talk but no one seems to be of any help at any walmart that ive been to. I was wondering if you knew whether i could use this phone with straight talk without having to pay for it to be unlocked? also, once i join straight talk will i be under the “straight talk coverage” which i heard is far better than that of TMobile. Lastily, what are the steps i would need to take to successfully transfer from tmobile to straight talk. thank you very much
Rachael A
