I'm unclear about whether I can use this phone on the Straight Talk Unlimited Plan because the description says Net10 only, but one review says S.T. ?

As I understand it, "No". However, although I'm new to Androids and other smart phones, I also understand that this phone is "locked" and, if unlocked, can be used for, say, Straight Talk. Try to find an explanation to the "locking" and "unlocking" of phones! That might be your answer.Cordially, Jonathan

If it's a Net10 phone you have to use it on the Net10 service, they also have an unlimited Net10 plan and it's $45 a month plus tax with autopay signup.They have the same model phone for Straight Talk, so one of the reviews was for the ST version.

I bought my Proclaim from Amazon saving over $50 from the Net10 site. It is a Verizon phone. The same phone running under AT&T; and T-mobile is called a Precedent.

I have been told by more than one Net 10 customer service agents that Net 10 phones can only be programed and used with Net 10 service. They were insistant...can't be done.

S.T. does use this phone, but if you buy the one that says Net10, it will NOT work on the S.T. network. If you're counting pennies, the S.T. plan is $45 plus tax and the Net10 is $50 plus tax. I had issues with Net10. After spending 2 hours plus with customer service NOT being able to fix it, I am happy to have returned to S.T. No Net10 for me thank you!!!!!

I bought it thinking I saw several people say they put their ST number on it but as soon as I read off the serial number, the ST guy said "sorry, that's a net10, you'll have to call them." I had been with ST with zero problems for several years and was not too pleased but switched to net10 anyway so NO, you CANNOT use this with ST. Funny thing now, I get an email saying they notice I haven't been using my net10 phone, lol!! And I went to the site and put the number I ported from ST in and got a message saying it wasn't a net10 number. Haven't called yet to draw them a picture since I AM using the phone and it is mostly going ok so far.

If straight talk offers the phone as a choice then you can use a Proclaim. The net-10 only phone is for net-10 only because it has a SIM card designed for that service. Straight talk would also have a SIM card designed for their service. Walmart.com has a phone selection for straight talk and also you can check coverage for your area with your postal zip code. I checked several zips around my area to make sure the phone I was getting would work all over and not just in my backyard. So that said, go check your availability and coverage at Walmart.com and if you are satisfied it will work, look for it at Amazon.com. I have found items at Amazon cheaper than Walmart.

It is a net 10 phone that has to used on the Net 10 network but essentially it is a strait talk phone both activation web sites a identical net 10 vs Walmart strait talk. And the Proclaim works on the verizon tower network so if you get verizon service in your area you will have service. I went with net 10 because i found a phone on Amazon for 30$ less than the walmart strait talk ether way you get unlimited everything at a good price you cant go wrong with ether option.

Service is sold separately. If it's Net10, it's $50. If it's Straight Talk, I think it's $45.

No. This is solely a metropcs phone. Net10 has their own version I beleive. You can try looking up net10 and see who they run off of (AT&T, Verizon, etc) and get one of one of their companies unlocked phones and it will work.

Yes it will if you got the one sold for Straight Talk with that SIM and was configured for GSM which is what Straight Talk rides on instead of CDMA which is what net10 rides on.

can i use this phone with net10 and utilize the unlimited international texting as well?
380936
I also have a Galaxy S4. It is unlocked for use on all CDMA networks but, does require a sim to work and is not unlocked to GSM. Is there a way to activate this with Net10?
848038
I didnt try in straight talk but for sure not with simple mobile and yes with net 10 thats what i have now and works perfect.
2183163
Net 10 only picks up off at&t; towers, i was told i could use it where i live but after ordering it, i couldnt use in my area cause they dont have sim cards with them. I wouldnt recommend it, and u can only use a 50 dollar unlimited prepaid card with it. So now im stuck with a phone i pd 79.00 for because they wont let me return it because it was over 15 days. I would not recommend.

I have used with straight talk as well as net 10 tracfone is a sister company to them. My assumption would be yes.

From experience even if the phone is unlocked and it shows that it's compatible on the website it still will not be able to get activated. Since att and alltel merged u will need an alltel phone with a Sim slot in order to be activated on net10 or straight talk. That's what they told me anyways.

it looks like straight talk and net10 use same box but the carrier signal on them is different.net10 box runs on Verizon's network for home phone.I don't have any complaints about net10 home phone its an easy setup and calls are very good.cost is $17 a month plus tax .
1182232
Unfortunately, Your phone wont be able to work on any carriers but AT&T; and T-mobile because they are the only 2 companies providing services for GSM phones aka unlocked phones. You cant update it to use on straight talk because it is not going to do any good either. I hope this helped ya.

The phone is unlocked thus you can use this phone on networks other than AT&T;, but the network has to use the GSM protocol. I use this phone on the STRAIGHT TALK network and get great service.

Phone is not unlocked. It is a net10 phone only. Will not work on any other company.

No, these phones are locked out and will only work on Net10. BUT Net10 is almost identical to straightalk. They both run off Verizon towers and have the same exact unlimited plan. The only difference is the straigtalk unlimited plan is $45/ month and Net10 is $50/month. I think its a great phone with great service:)

This phone, the one provided by shopcelldeals in this particular offer, is Tracfone only. There are StraightTalk only Optimus Dynamics, and Net10 only Optimus Dynamics. Make sure you get the right one.

I bought the Net 10 home phone but could not activate it. You need an airtime card to do this and i could not find one. I couldn't even buy one from net 10!!! So i went out and bought a straight talk home phone and it works great. I had to return the Net 10 phone.
