Info: What phones can be used with Straight Talk?

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 12:20 PM PST

Straight Talk will work with a plethora of phones - they just have to be unlocked and have a GSM antenna (850 & 1900MHz). Basically that means any phone offered on AT&T or T-Mobile.

Notes:
  • Some phones are easier than others to get to work properly
  • Data & MMS may not work correctly if you cannot edit the APN settings. Doing so requires jailbreaking on the iPhone & may require rooting on an Android phone.
  • Blackberry's will work, but you will not have MMS or any Blackberry services (bbm, push email, native web browser)
  • You cannot use a GSM/CDMA Blackberry (Verizon) since it does not have the proper GSM frequences
  • 4g LTE will not work at all on any phone

Info: Petition to make unlocking cell phones legal under DMCA

Phone Keeps Turning Off

Posted: 04 Feb 2013 01:36 PM PST

I've had my phone for about a year now, give or take. Here lately, it's been turning itself off randomly, as if it went dead. However, when I turn it back on, it usually comes back on with a full charge. What could be causing this? Is it just time for a new phone?
