I had lost my relatively new Samsung Nexus 7 phone mid-December that we had purchased from straight talk for $300 and I was devastated...my sister offered to give me her Samsung Galaxy 2 that she had with T-Mobile since she upgraded to a Galaxy 4... After calling Straight talk they instructed me to order this Sims card from Wal-mart that would enable me to use the Galaxy 2 phone...We got the Sims card the 24th of December and after installing and resetting the phone per instructions included, it was a wonderful gift that was just like a new phone up and operating!!! God is good!!!
I had to cut the full size sim card down to a micro sim with a sim cutter ($7. on ebay works like a paper punch, you slide the full size sim into cutter following the instructions press down on the handle and it cuts a full size sim down to a micro sim card) to fit my phone. Sim cards are not yet sold in oklahoma walmarts,I bought sim in one of the eight states that are currently selling them online at a dallas texas walmart and had it shipped to my tulsa wmt for a total price of about $16.
Product is great, customer service not so much, it took me a few days in order to activate my service because the person I talked to first did not know what he was doing. Long waiting times for customer service but finally I spoke to a lady who was very professional and did the activation very fast. I love the service. Thanks
Bad coverage in Danbury CT, no alternative, but cheap, so no big deal. Straight talk has been excellent with the exception of the TMobile trap, but it might be time to switch to an alternative prepaid with a wider range of GSM carriers. Tried to register the phone in other areas (northern NJ, New York City), but these only offer the same TMobile SIM coverage. Verizon or Sprint works great here, always has in the past (CDMA phones only). But no go TMobile and AT&T SIM coverage also stinks, unless you are near an urban or suburban area with lots of towers.
The phone still only runs off of T-Mobile towers when it's a T-Mobile phone. Part of our problem was that we don't have T-Mobile towers in the area and needed to switch to Verizon but had just purchased new phones. It would have been nice if in the description and instructions there would have been a note about this. Apparently there is no 'unlock' to fix this issue. We can spend another $20 or so and have it unlocked to AT&T Towers. However, their service can be spotty where we just moved. You also have to purchase a $45 Straight talk plan to even activate the SIM Card. It was disappointing that this process wasn't as easy as the description makes it seem.
I purchased this sim card to be used with an unlocked AT&T Iphone, I was not able to get the sim card and Phone to work together. I contacted Striaght talk and they were unable to make it work. They said I did not have service in my zip code. Funny I have a Straight talk phone and I DO HAVE SERVICE! So Great idea, but if straight talk is going to promote a service they should make sure that it works....
This is the second time I have attempted to purchase this product... and I have been without a phone for well over a month now because of it. The first time I ordered it, I followed the steps and the phone didn't recognize the sim. I called customer service, they told me I either had the wrong sim or the phone wasn't unlocked. I wound up calling 4 different help lines to figure out the problem (none of whom were able to help me), before I gave up and re-ordered the sim... which I eagerly awaited. It arrived a day after the last possible delivery date and... although the receipt listed the correct item... IT WAS THE WRONG SIM... so I returned the sim card and received a refund... I now have to re-order the sim for the third time, and pay for shipping for the 3rd time.. If I do not receive the correct sim this time I am going to call and ask for a complete refund of the money I spent on sims and purchasing minutes and find a new company...
I spend six very frustrating days on the phone with and waiting for Straight Talk to activate the card they told me would work in my phone. Even after I returned it to Walmart and Straight Talk sent me another than the Tech assured me would work, it did not. They would always transfer me at least three times. I had to repeat what I was trying to do so many times I felt like a recording. And I spent much time on hold. I can't recall how many times I was told to turn off the phone, wait 2 to 24 hours and try again. After six days of this, I gave up. I don't blame Walmart. They delivered the card I was told to order, and did so in good time. And when it didn't work, they refunded my money. So, I have no beef with Walmart. But beware: dont waste your precious time or money with Straight Talk (if you have an iPhone---others may work; I don't know and I don't plan to find out).
Porting the phone number was problematic, but eventually got there. Cancelled after 4 days due to missing service areas --"No Service" and "Searching" more often than not even though we live in a large metropolitan area. Customer service people were friendly and helpful but there was only so much they could do.
Bought this item, called Straight Talk to activate. I have an unlocked Nexus 4, formerly used on T-Mobile. This is a T-Mobile compatible sim card. Nope. No amount of arguing made them see sense. Bonus: now that's opened, it's not-returnable! $15 down the drain.
