- I recently heard that you can get an iPhone (AT&T or Verizon) at Walmart without a contract and use the straight talk pay as you go option. Anyone know this is true or using it? I wonder what the service is like, data, speed, mms, simultaneous call-data?

You CANNOT use the Verizon version but GSM iPhone can be easily set up with full functionality. StraightTalk's compatible plan offers unlimited text, SMS and approximately 2gig data/month for $45. The BYOD SIM can be had for $15. There is extensive info about the plan as well as how to guides over at http://www.howardforums.com/forumdis...-Straight-Talk
Happy to answer any question you might have.

StraightTalk doesn't have any of it's own towers....just "rents" from the big four carriers. I have set up 4 iPhones on ST (3 iPhone 4, 1 iPhone 4s) and they are all "locked" to AT&T. Check out the HoFo section I linked in the second post. Also, there is info at the StraightTalk website https://forums.imore.com/e?link=http...token=lxz0Epf3

Based on this info I may look into this as an option.

This says you can use a AT&T, T-Mobile compatible or Unlocked GSM phone. And they have regular SIM (iPhone 3G, 3GS) and micro SIM (iPhone 4, 4S) cards for sale for $14.99.
I am strongly considering this as an option, but I am wondering, does anyone currently on Straight Talk know how the data speeds are? I don't think that's a huge issue for me, since I'm on WiFi at home and work, but I'm just trying to figure out my options, trying to chose between Straight Talk, T-Mobile's Walmart $30/month plan, AT&T Prepaid plan, Virgin Mobile, or Cricket. (Yes, I hate contracts, LOL)

I've been using straighttalk now for almost a year with no problems. I was skeptical at first and so I opted for a new phone number with them rather than porting in the number I've had for years. I used my google voice number and just never gave out my "real" straighttalk number. After about nine months of zero problems (including several trips out of my home calling area and one trip to Hawaii) I went ahead and ported in my longtime phone number.

PS yes, iMessage works great.....wish I knew more people with iPhones07-31-2012 05:25 PMLike 0 - Yes Walmart is now selling the straight talk iPhone 4's and iPhone 5 and they are on Verizon network and use Verizon towers! I bought the iPhone 5 from Walmart on straight talk! It is a great phone and because its using Verizon towers you get amazing service, clear calling! The only thing I hate is straight talks customer service! It's a pain in the butt getting it all setup and working because straight talk customer service stinks and they have no idea what they are talking about half the time! Once I finally got it all setup! I live it!02-16-2013 12:26 PMLike 0
- I recently bought the Walmart straight talk iPhone 5. I love it and you can't beat the price! I was just wondering if anyone was having the same problem as I! My phone works great but as soon as I jailbreak it my 3G Internet and certain apps, like Facebook, Instagram stops working! Is anyone having the same trouble and does anyone know why?02-16-2013 12:41 PMLike 0
