IPhone 4S bought "unlocked." Worked with Straight Talk, not in France.
So I've had my iPhone 4S for a while and never had problems. Brought it to Straight Talk over a year ago after buying it unlocked on Amazon. Now I'm studying abroad for 6 months and I decided to buy a new SIM card and just use it here. So I bought a SIM card from Orange today. But... it says my phone doesn't support the SIM. Why?! It's supposed to be unlocked. Can anybody help me here? I'd rather be able to use my iPhone in France than buy a temp phone.
Here are AT&T's official requirements for unlocking an iPhone:

Will your iPhone work with Straight Talk?
Will your iPhone work with Straight Talk?
In order for your Straight Talk service to work with an iPhone, you would have to Jailbreak your iPhone (Even if it's unlocked) if you use an AT&T based SIM from Straight Talk, or you could use a T-Mobile based SIM from Straight Talk and it would work fine. Straight Talk is an MVNO therefore when the AT&T based SIM is inserted into the iPhone, it defaults to the AT&T profile, and the Cellular Data Settings option does NOT show up. You have to use a T-Mobile based SIM because they have no default profile for the iPhone because they do not carry the device.

Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?
Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?
All,
I have read and understand most of the post (s) on this: Apple Support Community:
It looks like the long way around my elbow approach: (piecing together an iPhone 6+ with a Straight Talk AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card) may yet work, just a bit gun shy on the $949.00 cost for the iPhone 6+ from Apple.
I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu (north shore), and have an iPhone 4 8gb cdma iPhone which is on Verizon's network rebranded by TFW / Straight Talk for several years. It works fine but I need an iPhone with more storage.
I have had a talk / chat with both sides Apple & Straight Talk, neither have real answers to support using the iPhone 6+ with Straight Talk as a carrier.
On the Apple site: " http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ ". It is clear that Straight Talk has certified their LTE network with iPhone 6/6+ to meet basic standards.
I / we need all of the successful trail braisers on this community to post what works & what does not work.
What I plan / have to purchase / buy:
Direct from Apple:
1. Contract-free iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Gray (GSM) T-Mobile. (pending research to ensure it will work). Apple confirms, without the T Mobile nano sim that this iPhone is unlocked.
Direct from Straight Talk:
2. AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card. (GSM; on its way)
Would have purchased a Verizon Nano SIM Card from Straight Talk but they do not seem to have one.
All support, advice & information is greatly appreciated.

Can't get mms. to work have, tried everything I have found online.ST tells me it's Apples' problem Apple tells me it's STs' problem.Does anyone think this issue will be resolved ? My phone is an Apple unlocked 3gs running ios 6.0 on Straight Talk using atts' towers.
I am having the same problem but cannot get anything but the actual phone to work. I have a unlocked 3GS running 6.0 (what was I thinking?). No data whatsoever, no texting, no visual voicemail. I simply cannot access the APN settings. I have tried sim swap, I have tried APN changers. I have been on the phone with ST tech support for hours and hours. I have tried to get the answers from a "genius". I am stuck and looking at Android devices, but would really like to keep using the iphone with Straight Talk.

How to unlock my verizon iPhone (contract over) to use it with straight talk?
My contract with Verizon has expired I would like to use mi iPhone with straight talk some people told me that I have to unlock my phone…please help me with real solutions!!!
You can't. The Verizon iPhone 4S can not be used with any US carrier other than Verizon. If you want to use StraightTalk, sell the Verizon phone and buy a StraightTalk iPhone. They are a supported CDMA carrier. Neither StraightTalk, nor Apple support using an unlocked phone on Straight Talk.

Why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk?
why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk when other networks can?
Hardware requirements of the iphone 4 do not meet the specifications needed for FaceTime over cellular data.
4S and up do not require wifi for FaceTime.
this is exactly as intended. -
i just got iphone3g i decided to go with straight talk well I have no data watsoever. Not able to connect to anything including wi fi. I have called apple and straight talk but no progress. I have looked online and researched on you tube and anything i could find but still no progress. Has anyone had this happen? or could I get some suggestions...PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they told you it would work, you'll have to talk to them. They are not a supported carrier.

How can I use a bad IMEI AT&T iphone 5 with straight talk ?
Someone sold me a bad IMEI AT&T iphone 5. I had an AT&T iphone 4 with straight talk prior to buying this phone. I didn't know the IMEI was bad so I bought the iphone 5 hoping to switch. I cut my SIM card and put it into the iphone 5. Everything worked perfectly fine so I went ahead and gave the dude the money. I went to sleep and wake up the next day and try to make a call and I get a message saying my phone has been blocked from the network. I contacted straight talk and they thought it was a problem of theirs so somehow they got my phone to work again. Everything was good , calls, texts , and data. 2 hours later, the same problem happens. So I call straight talk again , tell them the problem. They fix It again, 2 hours later , THE SAME PROBLEM. I gave up this time and began looking for answers. Is there any way I can use this iphone 5 with straight talk ? There was a comment I saw through my search for answers where if I get another straight talk sim everything would work again. Is this true? How can I use a bad IMEI AT&T iphone 5 with straight talk ?
If that IMEI has been blacklisted by AT&T, then it is blacklisted by all USA carriers, as well as several participating Canadian and Mexican carriers.
As of 31 October 2012, USA Cellular Providers are sharing a common IMEI/ESN database to ensure that phones blacklisted on one carrier can't be activated on another carrier. AT&T and T-Mobile are also participating members of the GSM-networks global shared blacklists. -
Help with Straight Talk on old Verizon Iphone 4S Data Apn
So I have had an old Iphone 4s that once worked on Verizon but I had been using it for over a year as just an IPOD basically with a GPS for Golf app and Music etc. I saw posts about this bring your phone to Walmart and go onto Straight Talk for $45 a month for everything. Sounded good so figured I would try. I purchased a micro Sim for Straight Talk that said it was "compatible with T-Mobile" I didn't know what that meant but figured it was Straight talk and it was a Micro Sim which it didn't look like I could get from Walmart. I got the Sim and unlocked my old Verizon Iphone. I was able to get the Phone working, went through many pains to get Web working but at this point I still can't get Apps that need to connect to the internet to work. Has anyone else figured this out? So again I can use the Phone, I can Text so I have MMS, I can surf with Safari and Maps works without Wifi but if I want to use BofA app or Ebay app that has to use data plan It says it cannot connect to the internet or some message saying it times out. Any idea what more I need to get my full IPhone working on Straight Talk. Also even though I'm on Straight Talk up in the left corner it says T-Mobile, is it supposed to? Not new to Apple but definitely new to straight talk and or any other carriers other than verizon (which everything worked for but was too expensive!!). Thanks for anyone that can help.

That means you hacked the phone.
Sorry, the terms of use here prohibit anyone from helping you.
Good luck. -
Can i use the iphone 5s with Straight Talk?
Can i use the iphone 5s with Straight Talk (Walmart's plan)? Straight Talk uses GSM technology....
Thanks!The StraightTalk iPhones are CDMA phones. Not GSM. StraightTalk does not support the use of unlocked iPhones on their pre-paid GSM service.

How can I unlock my 4S its locked to Bluegrass cellular? So that I can use it with Straight Talk?
How can I unlock my iphone 4s? Its locked to Bluegrass Celluar I want to use it with straight talk?
If your iPhone is locked to Bluegrass, you will need to contact them and ask if they unlock iPhones and if so what their requirements and procedure are. Apple's latest information is that Bluegrass does not unlock iPhones, but you can contact them and ask.

Those the iphone 5s unlock works with LTE or you need an especific model for that
i need to know if all iphone 5s unlock works with LTE only or you need to get an especific model please?
If you wish to use Verizon, you must buy a Verizon-specific iPhone, and those are only available in the US. Verizon will not allow phones purchased elsewhere onto their networks.
