A:AnswerYes, the phone is GSM compatible. I use it with Metro By T-Mobile and it works fine. However you may be charged by StraightTalk for a new sim, but I'm not sure about their policies in place.
A:AnswerAll unlocked phones work on carriers that use GSM networks.Most foreign carriers also use GSM networks. You will need to use a SIM card from a GSM provider to get service for your unlocked phone.
A:AnswerMine did not come with a SIM card, but I chose the unlocked version rather than one with a carrier because I was undecided on which service I wanted to go through. So I think that is why mine did not, however if you bought one with a carrier I would think you would get one with the service you chose. Hope this was helpful.
A:AnswerNot yet. Went to local Spectrum store a few weeks ago to inquire as online said no. I was told it would be available to be added to Spectrum network on December 8th, 2020. Rep showed me a email update on his phone he had received stating Dec. 8th. Waiting to see if that turns out to be true. Rep at store said to come back to store as online verification by might not be updated. Hope this helps.
A:Answer2 pricing lists
Activate now is cheaper because you are activating in store. Activate now only applies to some carriers like sprint, Verizon. Or any other you can pull from the drop down menu. Carriers that aren't listed such as boost, cricket, metro don't have an option for activate now.
As long as the phone supports the bands of cell phone signal that are supplied internationally it should work.
