Why Cannot I Get an Android Phone from Straight Talk

Android models from Straight are only on the Sprint network as of Jan 2012 which means service is limited to areas that Sprint serves.

As an alternative consider one of the Nokia smart phonemodels. While not having all the Android flash and eye candy they’re quite capable smart phones.

What towers does Straight Talk use

Does my Straight Talk phone run on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint? 

This is easy to figure out. Currently all phone’s who’s model number ends in “C” is a CMDA phone which means Verizon. If your model number ends in “G” it’s on AT&T. Currently (as of Jan 2012), all Andriod powered phones from Straight Talk run on Sprint.

Model number ends in:

C = Verizon
G= AT&T
Android Phone: Sprint
