7 Verizon iPhone is compatible with LTE of Verizon's Straight Talk network?

The answer to this question may seem like it's obviously - almost tautological - Yes, but according to three on three Straight Talk representatives (who claim to be supervisors) and one on a representative of Apple, he is not necessarily the case.

They all said there is no way of knowing without the IMEI of the phone, if it is compatible with the network of Verizon LTE/CDMA of Straight Talk.

I told them that I do not understand how an iPhone Verizon 7 maybe couldn't work on Verizon's CDMA/LTE network, if I try to activate it with a Straight Talk Verizon-network sim card. None of these representatives could give me a clear answer. They said quite simply the only way to check is to give them the IMEI number.

I said that I don't have the IMEI number, because I didn't buy the phone again, and my whole point on appeal is to see if I need to buy this phone, because I can't risk to buy it, only to find out that it is not compatible. In other words, I feel like I'm stuck in a Catch 22.

Why don't I just buy and return it, if it's not compatible? Because I intend to use my line of credit $ 1000 Paypal to buy electronic gift cards to target online and use the gift cards to buy the iPhone, because I don't have $1000 cash. So if I go back to the phone, I'll be stuck with a value of $ 1,000 worth of e-gift cards not returnable (that I don't need), a $ 1,000 balance on my line of credit of Paypal and no iPhone 7 - not a situation I want to find me.

(I would buy the phone directly with my Paypal credit line, but target didn't allow customers to pay with Paypal in-store, and I have to pay for the iPhone in store since I pre ordered for in-store pickup. I would have paid for the phone target, Best Buy, or the site of Apple, but so far, the only way to do, is to sign up with one of the four major carriers [that I don't want to do], or already have an account with one of the big four carriers [which I did not]. Meanwhile, the 'sim-free' [i.e., not tied to any carrier] iPhone 7 is not yet available at Apple, or someone else, with no word on when it will become available.)

Between me and my girlfriend, we have a 6 s iPhone and iPhone 5 c, that run on the network of Verizon CDMA/LTE of Straight Talk, so I can't imagine that the iPhone 7 would not. However, even Apple's site is not clear on this issue, as https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204039 shows that Straight Talk support LTE, http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ shows that the Straight Talk support LTE on the iPhone 5 C / 5/6/6 s, but does not support LTE for the iPhone list 7.

Straight Talk was told that even if the iPhone 7 does not end work with the Verizon CDMA/LTE of Straight Talk network, it should at least work with AT & T or T-Mobile network. However, AT & T and T-Mobile coverage *, where I live (as the Sprint of), so I really want to work with the Verizon network.

Can anyone confirm that iPhone Verizon 7 will work with the network of Verizon CDMA/LTE of Straight Talk, or suggest how I can get around this tricky dilemma?

I realized after posting the message above, it would have been better if I had written "CDMA iPhone 7" instead of "Verizon iPhone 7.

It would have been clearer I wrote "of Straight Talk Verizon network' instead of 'network of Verizon's Straight Talk.

  • -What the iphone is compatible with Wind Mobile to the Canada?

    I called wind mobile and they couldn't give me a definitive answer on the question of whether the iphone would BE compatible with my plan. Anyone know if this phone is compatible with windmobile in the Canada?

    Wind mobile is not now, nor ever was, a media supported. They are not allowed to sell or transport and the use of the iPhone (ANY) on their network is not supported by Apple. There is the past, the lengthy discussions on trying to get different features worked on their network.

    Save yourself the headaches, either get a phone that is compatible with Wind Mobile or use a supported media if you use an iPhone.

  • Call forwarding for iPhone 5 s using Straight Talk wireless

    I have an iPhone Unlocked factory 5 Straight Talk wireless.  Using the instructions of carriers or the iPhone I can't make it work.  Straight Talk support, of course, sez contact Apple support.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  Thanks in advance

    Call forwarding is strictly a feature of the carrier has therefore nothing to do with Apple.  You must get straight talk to help you sort out why it doesn't work for you on this phone with their service.

  • iPhone compatible with Verizon A1688 6s

    Hello, I just bought another iPhone 6s A1688 model; previously I used to have another 6 s model A1688, however, when I put the nano-sim Verizon, I can only use LTE, so could not do all calls or calls received. I went to an Apple Store, and they told me that my iPhone 6 s has been locked, however, when I returned to my country, I could use any sim-nano, for any carrier.

    I have already watched the Apple Web site on the compatibility of the 6s with carrier iPhone models, and it is said that the model A1688 is compatible with Verizon; Therefore, I want to know which are the steps to set up my new iPhone 6 s, to make and receive calls with Verizon. I have to make sure that my new 6 s iPhone is unlocked.

    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Solomonx1,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you are unable to make and receive calls on Verizon LTE for international travel.

    Use calls using voice over LTE (VoLTE) and make sure that voice over LTE (VoLTE) is enabled on your iPhone, in particular, this section:

    Turn on the VoLTE

    Some carriers activate this feature by default. To find out if VoLTE is enabled, go to settings > cell phones > turn on LTE. If the voice and data is off, tap it. It depends on the VoLTE.

    Additional information can be found here.

    If you can not make or receive calls on your iPhone

    Best regards.

  • New iPhone is not compatible with Macbook

    I upgraded my iPhone and found that it is not compatible with my MacBook running 10.6.8. I have a lot of music that I have not bought on the iTunes store I can't transfer it to my phone. Is there a software that I can use it, or I have to buy a new computer for $1000 to work on my iPhone?

    If your old MacBook cannot run at 10.8.5, you will need to either buy a new computer, or you can run Windows using Boot Camp or a virtual machine and synchronize your phone with it. You will need to install Windows 7 or higher. VirtualBox is free and should be able to manage currently running Windows 7 and iTunes well enough to allow you to sync your music with iTunes.

    In the meantime, you can start saving for a new computer. You do not specify which MacBook model, you have, but it must be at least 5 years now.

  • I am backing up my new iphone more than 6 s. It won't let me select any backup, indicating there is no backup that is compatible with the IOS 9.0.2 version. The backup is the IOS 9.2 (which is the latest version on my iphone 4S).

    I'm trying to set up my new iPhone more than 6 s. When I get to the backup process, he does allow you to choose a backup. He says, there is no backup that is compatible with the version of IOS 9.0.2. The last backup is my iPhone 4S (IOS 9.2).

    If the backup of the iPhone 4S has been with iOS 9.2, then you will need to update the new 6sPlus iPhone is iOS 9.0.2. You can use an old backup iOS on a recent iOS phone, but not the reverse. Set up the 6sPlus of the iPhone as a new device, and then update the iOS to the 9.2. After that, go to settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings. That will bring the Wizard Setup again and you will be able to restore your backup iOS iPhone 4S 9.2.
