Will the iPhone 5 be available for Straight Talk?

I want to buy the iPhone 5, but I'm not sure if it is available for for Straight Talk or even Factory Unlocked for that matter.

No. They only do At&t, Sprint, and Verizon.

You will need to purchase a factory unlocked one directly from Apple, which they will sell, but usually its a few months after the official release. Then you just need to install a Straight Talk SIM card.

No. They don't do tracfone companies. I'm still surprised that Virgin Mobile got the 4S but I doubt it'll ever come out to straighttalk.

IPhone 5 doesn't need to be available on Straight Talk, because they have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) program.So, what you need is a factory unlocked GSM iPhone (in US, the AT&T version).
Last year Apple started selling the unlocked iPhone 4S one month after the launch date, but nobody (except Apple) knows when the unlocked iPhone 5 will be available.
The biggest issue however is that iPhone 5 uses a new smaller SIM card, called nano-SIM, and right now Straight Talk doesn't have this SIM card. So you will need to wait for Straight Talk to start selling those cards before you buy the iPhone 5.
The last issue is that Straight Talk doesn't have LTE, so you will be limited to 3G or 3G+ (HSPA+).

  • Virgin Mobile iphone or Straight talk iphone? I heard lots of negative reivews on Straight talk iphone and that if youre planning to get a straight talk, you should get a android instead. I seen lots of reviews how their iphone can't connect to the data/really slow and have bad customer service. Although they offer a good unlimited plan, which carriers should i choose to get the iphone? Virgin mobile or Straight talk? I'm planning to buy full price iphone 5 in walmart
