It looks like the model is for Alltel. You'll have to contact Straightalk to see if they'll be able to activate the phone on their network. However, if it's a device with a bad ESN then it likely won't be able to.

You can go to Straight Talk Compatibility Test and see if it can be used on Straight Talk. (The IMEI is the Dec: number on the label under the battery, or dial *#06# on the phone to see it.) It's 3G only, at best, depending on the carrier. It might be EDGE data on Verizon. (Straight Talk uses Sprint and Verizon for CDMA carriers, and I don't think Sprint allows you to bring your own device.)
