And initiate a Legal & Permanent SIM-Lock Removal request to the Lock Carrier instantly.

Unlocking Straight Talk USA iPhone with Straight Talk’s iPhone Unlock Services
Everybody knows that Mobile Networks don’t want us to SIM Unlock our iPhones and after all, they are the only reason SIMlock exists! Straight Talk Network is not different and the last 2 years, Straight Talk iPhone Unlocking became more difficult!
Straight Talk joined forces with a bunch of other Wireless Networks and shares the same iPhone Unlocking Policy with all the Wireless Networks below:
- NeT10 Wireless
- NeT10 Business
- Total Wireless
- Telcel
- TRACFONE
- SIMPLE Mobile
- SafeLink Wireless
When you want to Unlock Straight Talk iPhone or any other of these Carriers, these are the requirements you must fulfill:
- The locked iPhone must be already activated on Straight Talk service for no fewer than 12 months
- Redeemed air time cards in no fewer than 12 months
- The iPhone’s telephone number must not be recycled or ported.
- The customer must request the SIM unlocking service while the iPhone is active or within 60 days after active service days expire.
- The iPhone cannot be reported stolen, lost, or associated with fraudulent activity.
- Military personnel needs deployment papers.
- Customers are eligible for iPhone SIM Unlocking only once every twelve months.
You can read more about Straight Talk’s Unlocking Policy in their Unlocking Compliance Page!
So, you can try to use Straight Talk Unlocking services but you already understand that things get tricky, even if you are the iPhone’s original owner! But if you bought a refurbished iPhone and it is locked onto Straight Talk, it is almost impossible to use this kind of iPhone Unlocking services.
The KEY word here is IMPOSSIBLE.
The only way to increase your chances for a successful SIM-Lock removal request through Straight Talk USA, is to prepare an Official Template that will include the reasons of your request, a full iPhone IMEI SIM-Lock/Network/Contract/Financial/Blacklist/iCloud status report and a paragraph which supports your request legally (Using legal terminology and their Terms & Conditions).
I know that this sounds very tricky and time consuming, so you can assign this task to iPhoneUnlock.Zone, and they will take care of everything.

Thank you for this article.
However, I am still a bit lost. The iphone 6 I bought used, is locked to straight talk. There is no way for me to get in contact with the carrier, it just seem impossible. I do not live in the united states, I was only there on vacation, so I feel lost.
Also tried 3rd party unlocking service, which I think was also a scam as they said it was fixed, but it did not work… So frustrated.
Can you help me?
Regards,
Hi Frida and thank you for your kind words.
Even Factory Unlock doesn’t work for all carriers nowadays.
I suggest you perform an IMEI Check. The IMEI Check Report will uncover all the problems of your iPhone.
If everything is alright and your iPhone can be unlocked they will make the unlocking arrangements with the Carrier.
If the iPhone has other issues like blacklist status or iCloud Lock they will tell you how to proceed and suggest a service only if it works.
If you already IMEI Check your iPhone go to this Free iPhone unlocking Guide 2018.
Come back and tell me how it went. Take care!
I bought an iPhone 6 through the straight talk website. Can I get it unlocked?

Hello Hiren.
All Mobile Networks allow their iPhones to get unlocked. You just need to know the contact information of the right department, else you will get lost with their bureaucracy!

I have two IPhone6s that were originally sold by Movistar Chile and locked to their network. These phones have NEVER been activated, they are new in box. They were represented as factory unlocked but are not, when you try to activate you get “Unauthorized device. This IPhone cannot be activated for service. Contact your carrier or AppleCare.”
I contacted AppleCare who checked the IMEI numbers and confirmed the phones are not blacklisted or stolen. Who can I contact to unlock these new phones? I do not have SIM cards for either but could use my wife’s SIM card as she has a 6s too. I am not real computer savvy so I need really good instructions.
This is really weird, since Unauthorized device message, most of the times means that this is a WORLDWIDE BLACKLISTED device.
Do you have Movistar Chile SIM-Cards to activate them with that network?
I’m a bit confused about the process…: In checking the links above, one provides an e-Book, one claims to do it over WiFi, yet another appears to work behind the scenes for several days, after which it becomes unlocked…etc?
Is there not simply a code provided, as it had been for years – – ? Thx
Hey Paul.
The Straight Talk USA network is not supported by an Unlock service anymore.
This is why we updated this article with the latest ways of removing the Straight Talk USA Network Lock. Those are the only Legal ways/methods since no service can remove it (And it is almost certain that no service will get online again).
I suggest reading the following article too which is for Straight Talk USA -> http://unflaw.com/legally-unlock-usa-uk-iphone/
Hey, thanks for the update, if you are overseas and don’t intend on using in USA will they do it?
Is your device is eligible, then yes!
my iPhone 7 is network locked to straight talk. And I don’t know to unlock it cause all the videos I see shows how to unlock the phone when it is not at the white set up screen and I’m really confused on how to unlock it. I bought it at best buy and I first went to straight talk but now I a switching to T mobile.

I live in Japan.
I am not good at English, I bought a cheap iphone at ebayusa the other day.
Sprint (Simple Mobile and Straight Talk) If you thought that sprint can be used because it is not locked in Japan … can not be used.
I surfed a lot and reached here.
Even with proven unlock factory, the above two units can not be handled.
I bought a new iphone se. Activation is not over yet.
Can you unlock this iphone now?
If possible, consideration
Hello Suke.
We do not offer iPhone Unlock services, we are a news blog about iPhones.
However, I am not sure what exactly the problem is.
Is it a Network Lock issue OR an iCloud Activation issue?
