Can I use any cell phone with Walmart's unlimited Straight Talk plan?

Yes you can! You have to purchase their SIM card ($5 or $6) and use it instead of your current SIM. My husband and I took our AT&T iPhones to Straight Talk. We were paying $180 with AT&T and are now paying just $100 with Straight Talk. Service is as good as, if not better in some places, than AT&T!

No, not any phone will work. It has to be a straight talk phone from walmart, or a phone with a Sim card. At&t, T mobile, and H2o all use Sim cards as far as I know. My phone I have right now was a special straight talk was having for Valentines day. Buy the $45 card, and get a small refurbished smartphone for free. It cost about $50 total including the $45 card. Walmart.com also sells refurbished phones with $45 cards for about $50.
My boyfriend got a Huawei ascend from walmart, refurbished for about $52. My phone has issues, his doesn't. If you purchase from Walmart be sure that the phone you like will work in your area. We only found one at that price that worked here. You can also try a gsm phone from lightinthebox.com, eBay, or Amazon. Gsm phones are the ones that use Sim cards. But if you go that route, you will need to buy a straight talk Sim card as the other poster said. Hope I have clarified this for you. I myself made the mistake of buying a sprint phone before thinking it took a Sim card, but it didn't.
as long as the phone is compatible with straight talk and its unlocked you can check on their website and type in your imei number to see if your phone is compatible or you can call them and ask them if your phone is compatible. they will check for you.
