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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • IPhone 3gs with Straight Talk

    I bought an iPhone 3gs from ebay & had to factory restore to get the other persons stuff off the phone. The phone was jailbroke & to my understanding "unlocked" (it was orignally from AT&T)
    I have been told the following:
    I could not restore without doing the 6.0.1 update through iTunes.
    I could not jail break if I upgraded to 6.0.1
    I have to unlock my phone before I can activate it.
    I found the following:
    I could not restore to factory setting without updating- I called AT&T.
    I can do a jail break once the phone is activated & ready to run.
    I called at&t to get the phone unlocked ^ the first lady took the imei # but never came back on the line.
    The second lady I talked to told me that unless the person who owned the phone called, that they will not unlock it.
    So in the even that i can get the right person to unlock the phone- will activateing my straight talk SIM card and putting in the phone allow me to go on and activate the iPhone?

    To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
    1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone.
    1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
    2. Get a T- mobile SIM (micro SIM). Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
    3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
    4. If you have any remaining questions  check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
    Everything should work flawlessly at this point. I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

  • Will the iPhone work with the Bose SoundDock Digital Music System?

    I want to get one of the new Bose SoundDocks but I'm not sure if it will work with the iPhone. I know it works with the iPod Touch but I know it's a little thinner than the iPhone. Has anyone tried using the iPhone with one of these?

    There isn't an adaptor that fits the iPhone but it works flawlessly with the iPhone. In fact, it works better with the iPhone than it does with the new Classic. The new Bose SoundDock has a nifty little remote that allows you to scan foward/backward through your playlists - this functionality works on the iPhone but not on a Classic iPod.

  • I have a iphone 4s with straight talk and my app store wont let me download anything from it what do i do?

    Hello there, Tremonteo.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Particularly:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • 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.
    V/R

  • 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.

  • Will my iHome work with the iPhone?

    I have an iHome from the summer i think around 2 years ago. Both my ipod mini and my old black video ipod (not the classic, the video) work with it but I was wondering, will the iPhone?
    Another thing, I have Logitech mm50 black iPod speakers that went with my video (until someone broke into my car and stole the ipod!!). Will my iPhone work with those? I know that the iPhone plays music w/o headphones but I like to blast music loud @ parties.
    So, please let me know if the iHome and the speakers will work with iPhone, b/c i rly dont want to have to buy a new iHome or speakers!

    ok thanks so much
    do you know if the iPhone will work with ipod speakers meant for the old black ipod video? I have speakers like that from Logitech...they're mobile so they're good on the road...will it work the same way like with the iPhone? like, if i put the iPhone in airplane mode, will it more ok? :\

  • Will iphone work with OS 10.3.9 and a standard USB

    I have an old Titanium G4 power book using OS 10.3.9. and standard USB port, has anyone been able to connect thier iphone with a similar system?
    I saw on apple's site that you need OS 10.4.10 and a usb2, but I see some users have older computers with older OS. Will the iphone work with an older system?
    I want an iphone with out buying a new computer.
    Thanks

    Hey 111wonderer,
    The iPhone does require Mac OS 10.4.10
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
    USB2 is required but the USB hardware is forward compatible from USB 1 to 2. The syncing will be much slower with USB 1 though.

  • I have an unlocked iphone 3gs running ios 6.0 currently with straight talk. I was able to get all the functions working except mms.Do you think this issue will be resolved ? I really would like that option on my phone. I have tried everything.

    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.

  • 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.
