Thread: Can I use a Verizon phone with Straight Talk?

I just switched to Straight Talk and so far I love the service and I am glad that I switched. My only issue is my phone. They are supposed to be coming out with a new phone but noone has any idea when this is supposed to happen. So I was wondering if a Verizon phone would work on their service since Verizon is CDMA as well. Does anyone know if this is possible?

More than likely it won't but all you can do is try to have it activated and see if it will work. CDMA carriers are very restrictive about the devices on their network

Straight Talk service is available exclusively with Straight Talk handsets and no others.

You may want to check out some of the new phones, though, including the Samsung R451C with qwerty keyboard, here.

I have that phone, I am waiting for the new touch screen phone to come out. Any idea when that will be? The samsung is ok but I am used to using a smart phone...

Thanks guys

Lies you can bring your own device it's on their website did you fail to read that from Straight Talk or are you just assuming last I checked Verizon phones were compatible with ST as I'm with Verizon and my aunt is with ST and I checked by using the IMEI number from my Verizon handset on ST website and it said it was compatible so you sir are wrong next time do some research before you spout of BS.
