I use Straight talk, and this phone is ready for use, nothing needs to be unlocked, downloaded in. I did read the other questions but needed to ask.

Straight talk use the same bandwidth as AT&T; so it should Elbe fine, I use h2o and it works perfectly fine!

Yes but I purchased my phone because it was specifically for ATT customers so I knew it would work. It was for my daughter & she has had absolutely no issues at all with it. Not sure on the other hand how it will work for Straight talk, meaning if you need to unlock or download anything. (try searching for Iphones compatible with Straight Talk) Hope this helps.

The Iphone 4s that i bought is still unlocked which does limit my usage. Before buying one of these phones I would advise you to visit att.com/deviceunluck to see if you can meet the requirements for their unlock sevice. Basically you need to be a current or former AT&T; wireless customer, and may only unlock up to 5 devices.

I purchased this phone and only needed to insert a Straight Talk Micro SIM card and it was ready to use.

I bought this for my wife on Straight Talk. I just put her sim card from her old phone into it and turned it on. It activated and worked fine. I don't think it was "unlocked" or anything. Since ST uses ATT's towers no unlock is necessary. It will not work with a Verizon or Sprint 4s though.

I am using it on ST no problem. You will need to download a profile from ST one of thier reps will give you the url to download it. Everything works except multimedia messages--an at&t; feature

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.

I would love to know the answer as well? Has anyone purchased this phone or a phone that was not purhased through Straight talk and was able to use it on the straight talk plan? We pay 45.00 a month, with no contract, unlimited txt, email, etc..... If you could let us know that would be great! Thanks so much all, for taking the time out to write your reviews!

I can't say for sure. I'm on T-Mobile, and they installed their SIM card; that was it! I'm guessing it's that simple for Straight Talk, too...

Only if you want it. You are free to use any GSM phone provider since the phone is unlocked. I use Straight Talk which costs $45 per 30 days and covers unlimited phone service and unlimited data.They use the ATT network. The phone will not work with Verizon.

It is Virgin Mobile ready -- not sure what you mean by unlocked. I ordered the phone, then activated it myself at no charge. You cannot simply take your existing SIM card from another phone and put it in this one, if that's what you're asking. I lost my previous $25 plan by switching to this phone; that's the one way Virgin gets you ... but their prices are so good, that now paying $35 for the same plan but with this better phone (which made a HUGE difference in Internet access and 4G coverage) is still a great deal.

Have you checked to see if it has been unlocked? I use mine with straight talk bring your own phone and I don't have any problems. They just had to register the iemi #to my sim card and then I had to manually inert the numbers for the best work. It wasn't had at all

If you buy it factory unlocked you can put it on straight talk. If it just says "unlocked" dont let it fool you because you will still need an unlock code.

You should contact the service provider you wish to use. I activated mine on straight talk I just had to buy their sim card.

If it is a prepaid SIM with a set amount of data on it already then yes. Otherwise no you will need a SIM and a data plan. Unlocked just means you can use a SIM from any carrier and the device itself is not locked to just one carrier (i.e. AT&T, T-Mobile, etc).

Technically yes, since you can take just about any GSM or CDMA phone to Straight Talk. You may want to contact them just to be certain though. Also, if it is not unlocked from AT&T; you will need to contact them first to have it unlocked. Which from everything I have heard, has been a hassle with this particular phone.

Yes, it was unlocked and ready to use down here. Just have in mind that it has the AT&T; logo and I has some issues with the seller: the phone stopped working 2 months after the purchase and the had to give the money back after some discussions.
