Hi, my name is Brian, and I just bought a "Unlocked" G7 Thinq phone that is a CDMA+GSM hybrid(it will work with either). At my home address in S.W. Missouri 65624, the best service is had by using Verizon towers(CDMA), so I bought the Straight Talk Bring Your Own Phone "CDMA" sim kit, along with a $55 Unlimited Plan. I had it activated, and it works great for at home and surrounding area.
The problem I'm having, is during a couple months of the winter, I travel to Virginia 24248 to my girlfriends parents, and at that location, I have NO mobile service at all using the CDMA Straight Talk sim kit. The best service in that area is had by using AT&T towers(GSM).
So I contacted a Straight Talk rep earlier, and he informed me that all I needed to do was buy a Straight Talk Bring Your Own Phone "GSM" sim kit, and have it transferred to my account so I could use my phone while I'm in Virginia, and he also informed me I could switch it back to the CDMA sim when I get back to my home zip, so it will go back to working good with the CDMA towers. Unfortunately, I talked to another Straight Talk rep that said I absolutely could NOT do that. So which one is correct?
I would love to be able to use me phone at both places if possible, which I thought it would be, since my phone will work with both CDMA as well as GSM, and is UNLOCKED. What do i need to do to get this working at both places?
