Iphones and Straight Talk

If I purchase a brand new unlocked iphone 5s from Apples website and order a Sim Card from Straight Talk and Transfer my phone number will it work? LOL I have straight talk and a Iphone 4 currently i want to upgrade to the iphone 5s they dont sell it on straight talks website so i was wondering if it would work.

iPhone 4, iOS 7

you buy the straight talk gsm sim for $6.88 and put it in either an unlocked iphone or a at&t iphone, either will work, and pay $45 a month

and you get unlimited talk and text and 2.5 g of high speed data

oh ok i remeber now what sam told me. you cut your sim to nano size and shave it a little, and it will work.


sorry i forgot about that. as long as you cut the sim down and shave it to fit the iphoen 5 , straight talk will work on iphones.


if i am wrong. i apoligize for someoje wasting $6.88 but that is what you get for expeirmenting


someone needs to be the one who tests it. people in mac rumors say that MMS or Visual Voie Mail may not work.

nah you wouldn't be wasting the $650. you can get a 30 day refund, if the gamble of cutting a sim down to nano size and changing settings does not work. you just get another sim module, like from t-mobile or whoever.



tmobile has this deal where they give u a small amount of minutes but a lot of data... for like $30 a month.


i've heard in some t-mobile areas is metropcs compatible, so you can theoritcally metro pcs an iphone, but it would only work in very limited t-mobole gsm areas


there are a lot of at&t mvnos to choose from, gsm wise.. all the verizon mvnos require you to have a cdma device, like pageplus. they have a $10 bring your own device fee



i do not know about different LTE bands though


a lot of mvno companies selling pre paid service for iphones require you to actually buy the iphone from them, like boost mobile i think

the a1532 iphone 5 c and a1533 5s will work lte on verizon, tmobile, and at&t . you can go to tmobile, and pay $40 to to $45 a month, and if you do not like tmobile, then you can probablly take the same iphone and sign it up with any at&t mvno network that agrees to sell you a sim ...


heck u can even take it to verizon


u just cant put it on sprint, because sprint is cdma and a different model. you wont be wasting the 650

ok i checked some mvno at&t sellers. and the ones i checked will have no problem reselling you at&t service on your bring your own device at&t unlocked iphone (a1532 or a1533 ) so you will not waste 650 if the walmart scheme fails.



aio wireless - - 9.99 for sim + plans start at $40 lte bands 17/4

air voice wireless - looks like a yes - $4.99 for sim plans start at $30 - no lte

black wireless - $10 for a nano sim (plus shipping) plans start at $30 ($30 - 50 mb $60 3gb - no lte

consumer cellular - free sim module - works on iphone 5s (nano) costs about 60 for voice and data - no lte



i checked wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_mobile_virtual_network_operat ors


and checked those websites to make sure i could actually order service.


although net 10 will activate iphones, they don't sell nano sims, so you would have to modify it
