Straight Talk How To Activate (iPhone 4/4s/5)

I love using Straight Talk on my AT&T iPhone 4s! Here is an easy tutorial on how you can use your AT&T iPhone 4s with a cheaper Straight Talk plan. This will help you set up your old AT&T iPhone on to Straight Talk wireless' network.

Here are the things that you will need:
  • iPhone 3gs, 4, or 4s
  • Straight Talk Wireless "Bring Your Own Phone" Kit (you can buy one at your nearest local WalMart)
  • Paper Clip or any thin wire
  • WiFi Connection
The "Bring Your Own Phone" Startup Kit will have these items:
  • SIM Cards (ATT, ATT Micro, TMobile)
  • $45 Service Card (30 days of service)

Here is how to hook up and activate your phone:

Look for the the SIM card that can fit with your phone, 3gs users will need the AT&T regular SIM, 4 and 4s users will need the AT&T Micro SIM. Check out the picture below that smaller is the Micro SIM:

Then remove your old SIM card using the paperclip or a thin wire. Insert the wire into the hole and press until the SIM try pops out. Gently separate the new SIM from the card and place the SIM in the SIM tray and put it back in its slot. The cards are notched and only fit one way. Do Not Turn On Your Phone Yet.
