One possible issue I’m told is these two phones are 4g lte technology BUT we do not get 4g lte service in our city. Straight Talk will not allow me to complete cdma registration at all saying service is not available in my area. There was not a Verizon sim in the kit but the sales associate said the network registration or access code enclosed was all that would be necessary to set up service using Verizon towers. I have the T-MOBILE & AT&T sim cards that came in the Straight Talk byop kit. From what I’ve read they are unlocked & possibly could be used as either cdma or gsm? I have the Verizon sim cards that were used in them before. I also need assistance with the correct apn settings (I’ve tried thousands) for Galaxy S5 & instructions on how to change apn settings + correct apn settings for iPhone 5s please. I would like to keep the phone numbers Straight Talk assigned to own phones as they are active with several weeks left of unlimited talk, text, & data I’ve already paid for I just can’t use until that can be accomplished. How can I change from AT&T towers to Verizon? I don’t want to have to spend more time & $ to make this work. Instead they now hang up on me when I call and ask for help. They won’t fix this or help with the apn settings issues. Per Straight TaIk “supervisor’s” instructions, I purchased the byop kit with the SIM cards & network access code as well as phone cards for both. I fully disclosed all details reguarding the 2 phones: models, #s, previous carrier, contract state, along with my needs and wants which included that the phones MUST run off of Verizon towers! At&t, TMobile, etc will not pick up a single bar at my home. I can’t use any cellular data on either at all. I have spent way too much $ and time following Straight Talk’s instructions plus trying every suggestion I can find online and still weeks later I am stuck with 2 phones that I cannot talk, text, or get online with without wifi. I just thought I disliked Verizon, until I attempted to get assistance from Straight Talk. If you have more questions or comments, let me know! Like me on Facebook if you don’t mind!

Your wife will not get picture messaging on her iPhone with Straight Talk unless you jailbreak it. However, as mentioned in my articles I checked my history back to February with AT&T and never went over 1.8GB as long as I connect to WiFi at work and home. If I get the call at 2.1GB, then I will really cut back and never go over again. All I know is that I will never try to go over 2.5GB. I’ve read they throttle you and don’t reset at the first day of the next month, I’ve read they just cut you off and you lose your phone #, I’ve read they will call you and speak to you about it to cut back, etc. Must go by where you live and the network area.
