They run on GSM as well as CDMA depending on the phone you get FROM THEM... Or you can purchase a SIM card from Straight Talk to use in your unlocked GSM phone. Then you can purchase the $45 card from Straight Talk or Wal-Mart to use on your new converted phone.
You use the serial number of your straight talk phone. That is your account number.
A CDMA repeater is a device that extends the signal range for cell phone providers that use the CDMA technology. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is one of the technologies cell phone companies use for their phone service. More information on CDMA is available here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA
No. Straight Talk has a SIM program where they accept unlocked phones from other carriers to join as a customers, though the phones they accept are limited to unlocked GSM phones and T-Mobile compatible phones.
No.
Yes you can.
I like the Razr. In all honesty though, every straight talk phone seems to get good reviews. I use straight talk for my business line and it works really well.
Unlocking usually refers to a GSM network and flashing usually refers to CDMA networks. When you unlock a phone you can use it on any carrier that uses the same radio (GSM/CDMA), or if you have a world phone, either a GSM or CDMA. Flashing the phone just allows you to use one specific CDMA carrier.
if Bell Mobility is a CDMA then yeah
Some of them DO and some of them DO NOT. The following information was taken from the Straight Talk website...The following Straight Talk cell phones DO have a SIM card: Samsung models: T528G, T340G, T404G, T401G, T255G Motorola models: W418G LG models: 900G, 420G, 620G Nokia models: E71, 6790
It seems likely, but you have to check compatibility phone by phone. You can use Straight Talk's compatibility checker and the serial number from your particular phone to find out whether it would work.
CDMA is a type of network that cell phone company's use. There are to meager types of networks that are used CDMA and GSM. Cell phone are usally made to work on one or the other network. The Iphone is GSM and Verizons Dare is CDMA but some phone can work on both like the new Blackberry storm.
