Straight Talk, Old Verizon Phone??

[joburocks]

1. Straight talk does offer verizon service. (fact)
2. you can flash verizon phones to straight talk. (fact)
3. Step 2 is not allowed.

My question. Is anyone running a flashed phone on straight talk? If so, how long has it been successful?

I'm looking to move an old verizon nexus to straight talk and am wondering if flashing it over is a waste of time. I don't plan on using more than 1gb of data a month so should be fine on data usage.

I've heard they boot you off the network pretty quick if you modify a phone to work on the system. Looking for info

If you have a Verizon device with a clean ESN, you might be better off looking into Page Plus who will activate Vzw devices as part of their legitimate BYOPhone plan,

Even on PagePlus, if it is a Verizon 4GLTE phone like the nexus, then you would need to flash it to work with PagePlus. PagePlus doesn't use 4GLTE sim card
