WOW are you wrong!!!!

I’ve used the 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S and 5 on straight talk. The 4S was the first one that didnt need to be jail broken for MMS. They all can use data, text and voice without jailbreak. To get data you go to (in phone browser while on wifi) unlockit.nz.co and install the right profile.

The 4S can access apn setting by doing a SIM card trick. You need an activated straight talk sim and a verizon sim (yes, there is a such thing, that’s what I used) or maybe a tmobile or other sim.

While the straight talk sim is in, go to settings>general>cellular

While there pop out the sim and put in the other sim, close the no sim message. Wait intently watching for the cellular tab to be selectable, quickly select, scroll down quickly and quickly select cellular data network, then pop out other sim and quickly put in straight talk sim.

PS, befor starting this you want to get the att.mvno settings.

Ok for those who say you need an unlocked iphone for straight talk let me clear things out.
1) straight talk uses both AT&T AND VERIZON towers. So that’s GSM AND CDMA, you can use an AT&T iphone 3, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S and I’m sure the 5 will work.
2) you need to jailbreak it in order to edit The APN settings for data and mms
3) I’ve done it on various iPhones so I know it works, you can use data aka Internet and sends MMS aka pics. Don’t tell me I doesn’t work.

Bad news for those who purchased an unlocked IPhone4s from Apple and want to use data on Straight Talk. It will never work. Straight talk uses Verizon’s data network which is incompatible with your unlocked IPhone4s which uses AT&T’s GSM network. The techs at Straight Talks are idiots. They speak of the need to “jailbreak” your Iphone4 (and they don’t know about the 4s!). This would only work if you have a Verizon supplied IPhone4s. So with Straight Talk you can use voice and make calls, but that’s it! Surprisingly they don’t know this themselves and will sell you a data package which you cannot utilize. The only solution I am aware of is to buy a pre-paid sim card from AT&T (or another carrier that uses AT&T as its GSM network).

I’m going to buy an unlocked iphone in the next month and I have a question. I live outside the US and I want the iphone to work on carrier in my country, but I will stay a few weeks in the US after buying the iphone. If I buy it with no contract from the Apple Store and then activate it with a prepaid plan from any US carrier, will it still be unlocked to use in my country?

Same answer as an hour ago: You need to call Apple if they told you they would unlock it, nobody else can do it for you.
