Our carrier partner is making network changes in order to improve your overall service. These changes will prevent your current phone from working. In order to avoid a loss of service, you will need to upgrade your phone.

Straight Talk is updating their network. If Straight Talk told you to replace your phone, your current phone will no longer work once the network upgrade is completed. In fact, it’s really Verizon that is updating their network. And many Straight Talk phones use the Verizon network.

With Straight Talk’s Keep Your Own Phone program, you can get Straight Talk service on your current phone, as long as it is compatible with our KYOP program.

In order to request the transfer and initiate the activation process, please go to www.straighttalk.com/Activate, and select the radio button option “Activate my phone with a number transferred from another company.”

How do I transfer my mobile number?

1. Call or text your current provider to request a mobile PAC code. A PAC code should be given to you immediately over the phone or within two hours by text.
2. Contact your new network and give them the PAC code.
3. Check the SIM works in your phone and the new number has ported across.

They are not interchangeable. So it will depend on if the one they use in your area is GSM or CDMA. Verizon is on a CDMA network (like Sprint) where as say AT uses a GSM network. You will have to contact Straight Talk to find out which network that SIM is from.

Try using the Verizon unlock code 000000 or 123456 to unlock the device. If all else fails, you can call Verizon to unlock the phone. Customer service is there to help you. Call them any time at 800.922.

If you don’t have the original packaging it gets more complicated. If you have the original SIM card take a look at the number. If the 6th through the 10th characters are all zeros then it’s Verizon. If there are only 19 instead of 20 numbers, or the 20th number is an X then it is T-Mobile.
