And the carrier we use to provide those services. And this determines the type of phone we choose.
Whether it’s online shopping, texting, taking photos or watching videos, we all use our phones differently. In fact, the “phone” function is one of the least used features.
And they're not just about making and receiving calls, either. In many ways, your phone is a reflection of you. With so much choice available, they’ve also become highly personalized. A way of connecting and communicating, they’ve become an essential part of our everyday toolkit. If it can make and receive a call, it’s unlocked.Mobile phones keep us functioning. Verify if the phone is unlocked by borrowing an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM from a friend and see if the phone works. Make sure the phone is compatible with AT&T or T-Mobile first. If the phone is compatible with the AT&T or T-Mobile towers, you could get a Straight Talk SIM for those towers and acitvate that. It’s not ideal for a number of reasons, but it does work for some. You can try moving the SIM card from your current phone to the new phone if it fits. Make sure you can return it if there is a problem. Buy an unlocked Verizon compatible phone, which should be elibigle. If all of this is too much of a hassle and you bought and paid for the phone, see if you can return it. Heck it’s possible that your phone isn’t even really locked. It’s possible for your phone to be unlocked and still not “be compatible”. They may have told you the phone is “locked” or “not compatible”. If you have already spoken to Straight Talk, you may have done this and been told the phone can’t be activated.
Straight Talk checks that to make sure they can activate the phone on the Verizon towers. To do this, you provide the phone’s IMEI or MEID number (a serial number). To use this phone with Straight Talk’s Verizon tower, Straight Talk needs to check that the phone is “compatible”. It may turn out that even if the phone is unlocked you may not be able to use it with straight talk’s Verizon towers. Keep in mind that what you are really trying to do is use this phone with your existing Straight Talk service. Iff it is part of the second case, they may never unlock it with you.
If your Verizon phone meets the first case above it should automatically unlock in 60 days. If you wish to persue it try to contact their customer service using an online forum or email. They no longer do that, I guess because the phone is supposed to automatically unlock. In the past, Verizon provided a link to request your device be unlocked.
