If I leave Straight Talk can I keep my phone number?
Yes.To do so you must call straight talk CS and ask for your account number and transfer PIN to give to your new (next) phone company. If you want the number to sit in “limbo” you could always port it to a service such as Google voice. Doing this would allow you to use the number thru GV and Hangouts on any Android, iOS and Windows/Linux device.Straight Talk doesn't make it easy to port and the ONLY way to get this info is to call them. Even their app doesn't give it.Good luck
Using a cspire phone for straight talk?
I am considering switching to straight talk. I am currently using a cspire iPhone 4 with their prepaid $50 plan. On the straight talk website under the "byop" (being your own phone) section it has where you can put the ESN number ( or whatever its called) in to see if your phone is compatible and eligible to work for straight talk. It stated that my cspire iPhone 4 is. It tells me to purchase an activation kit and instead of using a sim card (because it does not take one) it says it should have an access code. Can I just purchase the activation kit, put the code in and be on my way? Or does my cspire phone have to be unlocked first? If so, how do j go about unlocking it?
