Verizon? No. Straight Talk, yes. It is a GSM phone and Verizon does support GSM.There are better options than Straight Talk, however. Consumer's Cellular, Red Pocket, just to name a few. Straight Talk (part of the Tracfone/Net 10 corporation) has, hands down, the WORST technical support of any company I have ever dealt with. Avoid them like the plague!!!

It will work with Straight Talk....but not through Verizon....they use both gsm and cdma (at&t; and verizon contracts). These phones have 1900 mhz antenna which is required. Go to their website and it will show you the phone requirements. You do have to buy one of their sim cards to make it work for this phone. This phone is a GSM phone and will work off of at&t; towers that Straigjt Talk uses. Type in ur zip code on their site to see if u get service.

Call the Straight Talk Customer Service....they would be much more helpful than Amazon, or anyone here....But a pretty general rule of thumb- if the phone is "unlocked", then it will work with any GSM network. And most GSM networks are in the US, and I'm assuming you're in the US.Goodluck!

I did not have any problem with this phone in the United States. I guess your chip change might work. Good luck!.

Yes, mine worked with straight talk. All I can say is be careful, if you are in the USA there is no warranty on it because it was manufactured in the UK. They will not honor the warranty unless you have friends or family in England to whom you can send the phone if it needs repair. They will have to send it to the repair site. They don't tell you that. No warranty. Sad.

This phone only works on carrier networks using the GSM standard, for example ATT or T Mobile in the US. Unfortunately it will not work with Verizon in the US, as Verizon uses a different network standard.

It will not work with Verizon since Verizon uses CDMA coding and this phone is a quad frequency GSM coding phone. It would work with AT&T.

From what I can see this zip code is in New Jersey. Your phone should work well there. The only areas I have had trouble are flying in airplanes or in very isolated areas like in the mountains east of El Paso. Good luck.

As far as I am aware this phone will work with any GSM carrier sim card. If Straight Talk and Verizon operate on the GSM platform then this phone will work with their sim card.

Yes it should work you just have to do the bring your own phone program if you are going with straight talk

I never received this phone from Amazon. The seller never had it in stock. It looks like you just need to buy the straight talk sim and it should work ok but I would check with their tech support first.

Mine works anywhere at&t; works. I'm on straight talk though, they have a international plan, so I believe it will.

No because Verizon is a cdma phone meaning it does not use sim cards like t-moble and at&t; which are GSM phones or sim carded phones there are quite a few companys that would work with this phone like straight talk ,net 10,t-mobile ,at&t; ,tracfone, any US sim carded cell company should work with this phone Verizon,uscellular,sprint,boost,virgin,criket, and any other cdma none sim card company will not work. For the internet to work u will have to set the apn to gsm cell company you will be using. ;0)

NO!!!!! It won't work on AT&T; either! If you buy a Straight Talk Activation Kit those Sim Cards will not work! They didn't for us. I ended up trading this phone to Walmart and purchased a VERIZON STRAIGHT TALK GALAXY 3, and it works everywhere! If you bought this phone send it back!

As long as your phone uses a sim card for your network it will work. I don't know if Verizon uses' a sim.It works anywhere in the world with any sim card..
