Looking for info on Straight Talk Iphone 5 phones.

Which network does it use? Does it run 4G? Does it run LTE? IS it the CDMA  A1429 model? Is that the only model they make for straight talk? Am I better off with a major carrier? HELP!

According to reports, it is a CDMA phone piggybacking on the Verizon network. It will not get LTE service.

  • HT4839 PLEASE HELP!!!  I am simply trying to update the APN settings on my Iphone3 AT&T carried Straight Talk SIM phone.  For some reason, when I enter the Straight Talk APN info in the Config Utility and click "Install", NOTHING HAPPENS.  WHY?

    PLEASE HELP!!!  I am simply trying to update the APN settings on my Iphone3 AT&T carried Straight Talk SIM phone.  For some reason, when I enter the Straight Talk APN info in the Config Utility and click "Install", NOTHING HAPPENS.  WHY?  I have spent almost 2 full days simply trying to get the cellular data network settings to appear and I am now at the point of pulling hair and/or smashing things.  Why is it so difficult to simply update the cellular data network APN settings on a standard Iphone 3 ATT with a unlimited Straight Talk plan?  Everyone knows that Straight Talk's $45 a month unlimited data/calling plan is supposed to be 100% compatible with AT&T carried Iphones.  Will someone please tell me HOW TO UPDATE THE APN SETTINGS ON THIS IPHONE 3.  Thanks and God bless

    StraightTalk is not a supported carrier.
    Contact them for support.
    FYI, unless the device is officially unlocked from AT&T, you will not be able to use it on another carrier.

  • Can I use a Cricket sim in a Straight Talk Iphone 6 Plus?

    Just bought a Straight Talk 6 Plus. I am currently with Cricket Wireless. Will I be able to insert sim in phone and get Cricket Service?

    Hey arholmes,
    It sounds like you want to have that iPhone unlocked to use with a different carrier. If that is the case take a look at the article below to walk you through how to do that if Straight Talk allows phones purchased from them to be unlocked.

  • My CDMA Straight Talk iPhone 5 was defective and the Apple Store replaced it. But now I can't activate the new iPhone!

    I have been to the Apple Store twice now, and my original iPhone has been replaced three times since Tuesday. Straight Talk says they are getting an error on their end when trying to activate and add the phone to my existing account. They are insistent that the phone I have is not a CDMA iPhone and that I need to go back to the Apple Store again to get another phone. My iPhone said that it is activated on CDMA US network, and shows bars and the 3G symbol; and yet my carrier doesn't show up on the top bar where it should be. The iPhone I have now is in fact CDMA with the part number A1429. Has anyone experienced a similar issue when they had their Straight Talk iPhone replaced?

    My friend threw a Straight Talk SIM card in so now it is working on the GSM network. The service isn't as good but at least my phone works again.

  • Looking for something in the iPad/iPhone Airport App

    Hi
    I have been waiting for the airport utility for iPad/iPhone to come as I frequently travel with just my iPad and Airport Express. However, I have been unable to configure it when away from home.
    So, Apple has released a utility but it appears to be the most important feature for being on the road, that is, the ability to switch connection sharing (so you can hook up to a hotel system).
    Is it that I can't find it or it doesn't allow you to do it. In the iPad app, I am looking for the ability to switch between bridge mode and the other two.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Tesserex, thanks for the comment . Can you point to where in the utility I cna figure it to
    Share a public IP address
    Distribute a range of IP addresses, or
    Be off in Bridge mode?
    Thanks,I can't work it out.

    The AirPort Utility App that is available with iOS 5 does pretty much everything that the Mac or PC versions do including controlling both the NAT & DHCP services to allow you reconfigure an AirPort as a bridge.

    I doubt that you will find one. I have not heard of BT cameras.

    PogoPossum,
    My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
    Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
    What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
    I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
    Does this help?

  • Looking for info on the msi 970 gaming .

    Looking at the msi gaming 970 as a GPU. I know about the ram issue. Looking for info about the card in general (persons perspective ). Like how does it overclock, cooling, bios updates, warranty and so on.
    My specs
    4790k-4.0
    gigabyte z97 black edition MB
    8gb gskill
    WD valaciraptor HD
    Thanks.

    Cooling: It has very good cooler (better than 780Ti which I own) so surely low temps (<70C with fans 35%~ )
    OC: It's a gamble. One can overclock better than the other
    Warranty: As far as I know, 1 year with seller and further 1 year directly with MSI
    BIOS updates: it's new card so rarely any updates right now, but there are some if something is being fixed/improved.
    Should work fine in your system, no bottleneck with i7 4790
    Just depends if you look at reference design or Gaming series.

  • Can i buy an iPhone at a pawn shop and get it unlocked for use with Straight Talk wireless?

    Just wondering if I can buy a used iphone at a pawn shop or on ebay and get it unlocked for use with the prepaid Straight Talk wireless service? If so, how much would it cost to get it unlocked?

    PHones can only be unlocked from the carrier; if you're looking for an unlocked device I'd recommand buying it directly from Apple as that is the only way to promise it is, if you buy it second hand you may find it is locked to a carrier who doesn't support unlocking, or worst yet activation lock

  • What does the straight talk iphone 4 look like when you turn it on

    i was wondering what the Apple Iphone 4 for straight talk looks like when turning it on and off. LIke does it say straight talk?

    The only thing the iPhone displays regarding the carrier is the carrier name in the status bar near the signal on the left side. The iPhone does not display anything but the Apple logo when powering up.

  • Straight Talk iPhone 5

    Ordered Iphone 5 from Straight Talk using Verizon towers and it will arrive tomorrow for teenage daughter's birthday. Not being too tech savy am wondering if activation, setup will go smoothly or with bumps in the road? I would appreciate any advice on how to assure a successful launch of this beautiful phone (white 32 gb $700).  We have several Apple computers, Ipods and another Iphone 5. Thank You

    Hey kenfromcrestview,
    When you receive the phone, I would follow along with the steps outlined in the "Getting Started" section here:

    It's a comprehensive look at everything you'll need to get her iPhone set up.
    Hope your daughter enjoys her new iPhone, and welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take care,

  • Straight Talk iPhone 5 without a SIM card, no data

    I have an iPhone 5 from Walmart on their unlimited Straight Talk plan. This phone does not use a SIM card. If I do not have a wifi signal, I cannot use any data and cannot send picture messages. Straight Talk support has not been able to help. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Also, I've upgraded to os 6.1.3. So I can't jailbreak it either.

    I still think it's related to operator settings. Did you follow all the instructions here http://iphone.straighttalk.com/? Especially the following.
    To activate your service, go to straighttalk.com/Activate or call 1-877-877-1986 from another phone.You will need the MEID Number (also known as the Serial Number) which is located on the red Activation Card and on the bottom of the iPhone box in the IMEI/MEID field. You will also need a Straight Talk Unlimited Service Plan, which you can purchase at participating Walmart stores or with a credit card as part of the Activation process.
    After completing the Activation, you will need secure Wi-Fi access OR a computer (requires PC or Mac) with the latest version of iTunes and an internet connection. To begin, simply turn your iPhone on, follow the prompts, and then choose a method to set up your iPhone:
    • Using Wi-Fi: Simply select “Use Wi-Fi” then follow the on-screen prompts. When you receive the “Carrier Settings Update” pop-up, make sure to select “Update”; the phone will return to the main screen as the update runs in the background. This process can take up to a few minutes, depending on the speed of your Wi-Fi connection. Note: No SIM card is required for your iPhone, so disregard any messages asking for one.
    • Using iTunes via a computer: Simply open the latest version of iTunes on your Mac or PC computer, then connect your iPhone to it using the USB cable that came in your package. Once you read and agree to the License Agreement, sync your iPhone with iTunes. You will receive a pop-up asking if you would like to download an update for your carrier settings—select “Download and Update.” Note: If you receive an alert saying there is no SIM card installed in the iPhone—simply ignore and select continue. No SIM card is required for your iPhone.
    ** After completing the setup, you MUST call *22890 from your iPhone to program it.
