I thought it was a Verizon phone but it is a straight talk phone... it isn't locked so it may work on most all prepaid service or contract service. I can try to find out...

The phone is not locked but it is a Verizon straight talk phone, I assume it would but Im not sure. I will try to find out for you.

Jan 25th, 2012 at 2:10:26 PM CST by TSCracker

I thought it was a Verizon phone but it is not, it is a straight talk phone. I am trying to find out but if anyone knows and can help me out with a answer I would greatly appreciate the assistance.

Jan 25th, 2012 at 2:35:44 PM CST by TSCracker

it doesnt work for att or verizon. straighttalk is the only one this phone will work for.. Im not saying this to win the auction there number is toll free @ 1-877-430-CELL (2355)

Jan 25th, 2012 at 3:31:55 PM CST by nikkieb2010

Thank you, I just found out myself. The phone is Straight Talk only and sales from $85.00 up used on ebay.

Jan 25th, 2012 at 3:41:13 PM CST by TSCracker

No problem. yeah i just looked on ebay myself. I'm gonna try my hardest to win this i have been wanting this for months.

Jan 25th, 2012 at 4:37:39 PM CST by nikkieb2010

I think Straight Talk in my area is the most popular carrier. I didn't do anything to this but powered it on charged the battery found wifi and surfed around emailed a couple pics to facebook then let it run the battery down and recharged it and did it again to make sure that it does work right and the battery is good. It is a awesome phone! It's like a computer in your hand!

Jan 25th, 2012 at 4:51:53 PM CST by TSCracker

I will give you 1500 credits for this item.

Jan 25th, 2012 at 5:59:54 PM CST by mandmstone

Thanks for the offer but I will have to let it go at auction... I had no GIN price for it.

Jan 25th, 2012 at 7:16:48 PM CST by TSCracker

Jan 25th, 2012 at 6:49:47 PM CST by las2011

Jan 25th, 2012 at 7:11:47 PM CST by TSCracker

Your welcome, this phone should be the Android™ 2.2 Froyo Platform.

Thanks, fanned you back!

Jan 25th, 2012 at 9:21:33 PM CST by TSCracker

i will bid the last 10 minutes gonna see how far it goes up first.

Jan 25th, 2012 at 10:08:00 PM CST by nikkieb2010

Thanks, it looks like there is allot of people are wanting this phone. I know they are hard to find under $100.00 for the used working phones. I saw allot of them needing repair for $50 to $80 on ebay.. Good luck with this auction!

Jan 25th, 2012 at 10:24:41 PM CST by TSCracker

the last 10 minutes is when the race is on lol, its always fun!!

Jan 25th, 2012 at 11:00:26 PM CST by las2011

I know it! I think the concept of this sight is great, it's like buying stuff with your stuff rather then straight out money. That is why free shipping is good, if you have enough credits to get stuff without spending more money only spending credits!

Jan 25th, 2012 at 11:07:41 PM CST by TSCracker

exactly!! i have gottwn several great things for barely nothing!!! its great

Jan 25th, 2012 at 11:15:31 PM CST by las2011

To me when Im selling I am happy to pay the shipping to get rid of things I don't need and let someone enjoy things Im not using any more. I have bought games, clothes and more stuff I probably don't need!

Jan 25th, 2012 at 11:35:39 PM CST by TSCracker

do you know if it takes a sim card because I thought straighttalk worked on at&

Jan 26th, 2012 at 4:14:32 PM CST by wgw0542

There is no sim card, I thought the same thing but it it straight talk only.

Jan 26th, 2012 at 4:30:18 PM CST by TSCracker

oh well. I saw on YouTube where they showed using an AT&T sim in a straighttalk phone

Jan 26th, 2012 at 4:38:04 PM CST by wgw0542

There might be a way to trick the phone to accept another carrier but Im not sure about it...

Jan 26th, 2012 at 4:42:42 PM CST by TSCracker

FYI straight talk runs three individual networks depending on the phone model you buy. This particular phone is the limited sprint network same as virgin mobile and boost mobile. It is a great phone I bought two of these when they first came out my son loves his I can not use mine as I drive truck and the network is not good in many areas I travel to. Hope this helps. Also straight talk locks their phones to network very difficult if even possible to break these phones. Check map coverage in your area against boost or virgin maps to be sure of coverage. Good luck with your auction you should do very well.

Jan 28th, 2012 at 7:46:18 PM CST by LoreleiJo

Thanks, all the extra info. is greatly appreciated!

Jan 28th, 2012 at 9:42:22 PM CST by TSCracker

Some phones are also At+T with the sim card others are verizon with no sim card all their droid phones are sprint limited network you can tell by the letter after the model number of the phone C=verizon, G with sim card= At+t, droid phones= sprint limited network

Jan 28th, 2012 at 7:50:03 PM CST by LoreleiJo

Again, greatly appreciated! The paperwork with it is for Straight talk but I was told that it worked on Verizon as well. I'm not exactly sure but it definitely does Straight Talk.

Jan 28th, 2012 at 9:46:03 PM CST by TSCracker

YES it is straight talk just this phone in particular will not run on verizon I wish it would. Straight talk does not have any roaming capabilities so only the network assigned to that phone will work. Virgin/Boost offered Straight talk the best network deal for the android market and supplies the phones in this case. best of luck. may put mine on here after i see how you do with this:)

Jan 29th, 2012 at 8:03:01 AM CST by LoreleiJo

Yeah, you might do better to sell it on ebay. These are selling on there for used lowest price $85.00 and up to $200.00. for a new one. I was hoping to get at least the same in credits for this....if it doesn't do well I might not list many items worth more then $50.00. I am new to listia but I am not new to internet sales. I do know that being new might effect the final price but I went the extra mile with the verification and the free shipping just to see if the sight has enough people who are interested to throw a few high end items out this way,....don't get me wrong, I like a good deal too but if there are no items on here to buy the less buyers the sight will have. The sellers are the buyers on here and credits are worthless if there is nothing on here worth buying.

Jan 29th, 2012 at 10:33:50 AM CST by TSCracker

im new i randomly found this site and definately going to be using it i love the concept credit for credit but i wanted to know from actual person who brought from this site when the item come with free shipping do you pay for anything using (cash paypal credit card etc.) or do you just pay with listia credit

Jan 29th, 2012 at 1:34:19 PM CST by mofade

You can sell and get credits, invite friends or purchase credits through the system with a credit card or pay pal.

Jan 30th, 2012 at 3:40:28 PM CST by TSCracker

Does it matter it was on the family plan contract?

Jan 30th, 2012 at 12:41:24 AM CST by lovemyleilous

I am not sure but I would expect it does..

Jan 30th, 2012 at 1:38:00 AM CST by TSCracker

Thanks everybody for your bids on this awesome phone! I'm sure the winning bidder will be happy with it. I will ship out as soon as the auction ends, on the same or next mailing day with conformation tracking numbers.

Jan 30th, 2012 at 6:46:36 PM CST by TSCracker

my boyfriend has this exact phone and it runs off of Sprint towers

Jan 30th, 2012 at 11:21:27 PM CST by mdlippincott2004

All the sprint phones say sprint on them this does not and the paperwork is all for Straight Talk....

Jan 30th, 2012 at 11:45:39 PM CST by TSCracker

Believe it or not straightalk buys the ability to use any towers they contract with, Sprint, Verizon, US Cellular and yes even TMobile, straightalk has the ability to do this so cheap since it doesnt have to pay all that money to build towers. This argument comes up alot on here and Ive copied and pasted the exact article from straightalk if u read the fine lines. This is a super phone and I'm sure will work off of whatever tower is necessary.

Jan 31st, 2012 at 5:47:00 PM CST by lovemyleilous

Thanks for the info....there seems to be allot of fine print with these phones. I saw where you can flash these phones to take any carrier fix bad ESN's and to upgrade the Android programs.

Jan 31st, 2012 at 7:15:16 PM CST by TSCracker

please tell me it's slim and not thick like the old droids

Jan 31st, 2012 at 8:28:26 PM CST by NanaB50

It is thin nothing like the ones that slide a keyboard out of it....about 1/2" + or - a bit. a very desirable phone as you can see by the bids and comments,

Jan 31st, 2012 at 9:01:28 PM CST by TSCracker

you said something about having to use the family plan with straight talk?

Jan 31st, 2012 at 8:30:41 PM CST by NanaB50

No, somebody asked about it and I never had any plan.

Jan 31st, 2012 at 8:58:20 PM CST by TSCracker

will this phone work with a t-mobile sim card? no right :\

Jan 31st, 2012 at 11:14:51 PM CST by carmendesueza

No, this phone has no sim card. Thanks for the interest!

Jan 31st, 2012 at 11:23:42 PM CST by TSCracker

Hope everyone knows to call or go to straighttalk.com to find out if this works in your area. if it's not listed that means it may not work.

Feb 1st, 2012 at 5:45:51 PM CST by mrjcool30

Yes, but there are videos on youtube on how to "flash" these phones to change the service carriers, unlock and to fix bad ESN's
