Why isn't my sprint iphone 5c compatible to straight talk?

I bought my iPhone 5c (sprint) from a lady and it was factory reset and everything and I want to connect it to straight talk, but apparently it's not compatible. What can I do?

Sprint and Verizon use the old CDMA cellular networks and this requires a special iPhone. This special version of the phone is not compatible with other carriers.

  • Where can i get a straight talk at&t compatible nano sim for iphone 5? Been looking for hours and i'm getting fed up with this. I have an Iphone 5 from At&t that i just had the plan canceled on a few days ago and want to activate it with straight talk. But for the life of me, i can't find the nano sim card for the iphone 5 anywhere. Does anyone know where i can order one from? I already have the phone i just need the sim.
