Does this phone work with third party carriers, such as Straight Talk? I'm trying to check on their website, but they require an IMEI/MEID/ESN to answer that question.

It does work with T-mobile and AT&T; using a microSIM card. Don't know about third party carriers. Does not work with Verizon though, because they have a CDMA network.

As this is factory unlocked ...it should work... Even I'm using third party carrier (Lyca) and it is working good for me. Hope this answeres your question.

well we had trouble with straight talk because of where we live they said it depends who the last carrier of the phone was and how many of their antenas are by where you will use it

It works with third party carriers. You Just have to check that the RM-875 (Phone model) supports the band your carrier uses.

Yes I am pretty sure it does. I mean I took this phone to NZ and Aus with me and used local sims and works perfectly. Word of advise please get a screen protector and case from somewhere.:)

as far as i know if the phone is factory unlocked like (nokia 1020) it will work on any carrier. i planned to travel abroad this year and with this phone all i have to do wherever i am (abroad) is to buy a sim and a load so i could use my phone locally without using my US CARRIER (T-MOBIL).

Yes, Mine is an att and it gives me the option to change the apn settings just like an Android. I use mine on net10 withe the att mini sim. But if the Sims straight talk uses aren't feed from att towers make sure the phone comes unlocked.

Hi, it was either MEID or IMEI, I can't remember which off of the top of my head. I believe it was IMEI though. I added it to the user's account over the phone with Verizon without incident.

I have no idea what Straight Talk is. Sorry for not being able to answer or research. I'd recommend asking someone else.

Unfortunately, Your phone wont be able to work on any carriers but AT&T and T-mobile because they are the only 2 companies providing services for GSM phones aka unlocked phones. You cant update it to use on straight talk because it is not going to do any good either. I hope this helped ya.

NO!!!!! It won't work on AT&T; either! If you buy a Straight Talk Activation Kit those Sim Cards will not work! They didn't for us. I ended up trading this phone to Walmart and purchased a VERIZON STRAIGHT TALK GALAXY 3, and it works everywhere! If you bought this phone send it back!

I am using lyca mobile (carried by t mobile network,). It works pretty well. Straight talk is carried by Verizon, it does not work with Verizon therefore m not sure if it will work for strAight talk

Idk about through verizon but it worked for me with a straighttalk $45 card from Walmart or paying with a debit card on the straighttalk website. A tip: I had to buy a SIM card from straighttalk in order for my internet and my mms to work. It only cost around $7 and it fixed it like magic! Oh and you will have to cut down the SIM card which sounds scary but YouTube it because other people have posted about cutting it down. I love my phone! Having to buy a SIM card was totally worth it for having a phone without a contract and that wasn't stupid expensive.

I have tried to see whether I could answer this. If Straight Talk is using the AT&T; 850mhz backbone than yes. If they are using the T-mobile backbone probably not. I know my Defy does not get 3G as my plan does not offer roaming on the AT&T; backbone. If Lin C. has tried this I would gladly say yes - otherwise I'd get more information before the purchase.

I used this phone on straight talk network, and it works great. The only problem is that you cannot get or send picture messages to anyone who don't have a iPhone. Other than that I love the phone.

As long as it is a Verizon phone, it will work with straight talk. That's what I used my phone for. But no, its not an unlocked gsm phone unless it says so in the description.

Hello Does straight talk use a sim card?And, if it is a GSM Carrier, you would have to unlock the phone.Or, you can buy this one, if Straight Talk uses a Sim Card...... Apple iPhone 3GS 8GB Black Factory Unlocked / Not Jailbroken Avianna LLC has them listed there.Avi

I loved the Phone it does not work with any carrier. I was under the impression that it would conect with verizon, but when I went to get it connected Verizon said that they haven't excepted that phone for a good while. Now i just use it for my boys. They use it for games and thats all it can be used for unless you have Alttell service in your area. So dont get it if you don't have Alttel service. Other then that I loved the Phone. Too bad I couldn't get it to connect with anyone.
