RE: straight talk and 5s

2015-12-15 Thread Jim Ruby
You can buy a simkit at walmart or order one online. Just register online 
insert your sim and away you go if you wish to do it yourself. I think if you 
go in to a store they will help you get everything going.

I have had no problems just doing it myself. I chose the at sim as at the 
time I was activating my phones over to straighttalk I was traveling to part of 
the state where at had the only coverage.

Good luck.

Hello, I would like to put an unlocked 5s on straight talk.  Does the 5s do 
well on this service and how is the easiest way to obtain a sim?  I appreciate 
your help.

RE: straight talk and 5s

2015-12-15 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Larry,

 

I'm not from the States, but Straight Talk is what is known as an MVNO (mobile 
virtual network operator) which means they buy network space/capacity from the 
major providers like AT, Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile as well as smaller 
regional providers at wholesale prices.

Below is part of an article which explains this a bit more, you just have to do 
your research to see if Straight Talk would work for you in terms of coverage:

 

Straight Talk and Net10 also have smartphones that run on the Sprint, Verizon 
and AT networks. Each phone has a home network that's either AT, T-Mobile, 
Sprint or Verizon. TracFone, Straight Talk and NET10 phones will favor their 
home network and refuse to roam in an area where the home network claims to 
have coverage.  So if you have a phone whose home network is T-Mobile and you 
are in an area where T-Mobile has spotty coverage, the phone will refuse to 
roam on AT even if AT has a better signal. The Sprint based phones don't 
roam at all.

 

Regards,

Sieghard
