For those of you who have experience with Straight Talk Wireless, a couple of questions. (The websites out there are contradictory, and the Straight Talk web page doesn't really answer some questions as clearly as it could).
1. Has anyone moved a AT&T iPhone to Straight Talk wireless? If so, did you have to get the phone unlocked before doing so? Did you have to buy a SIM from Straight Talk (and which SIM did you use - I've seen reports of all sorts of crazy things). Did you have to change you APM profile?
2. Also, from their website (
http://www.straighttalk.com/wps/portal/home/support/faqs/) it looks like you can't move a number from one area to another (quote below). I have recently moved from Atlanta, and would like to keep my old number, even in this new location. Has anyone had a problem with Straight Talk allowing that? Thanks in advance for any help!
What does "Local" mean?
This means that a number is associated with the same geographic area after it is transferred as it was before it was transferred. For example, a customer will be able to transfer a number between carriers in Atlanta, but won´t be able to transfer a Los Angeles number to Atlanta.
