Android Central Question

So I brought my own phone (Verizon) to Straightalk a week ago. I switched over via the internet and ported my cell number from Verizon. I have had multiple issues in the last week and Straighttalk has been nothing but a headache. I have called numerous times and can't anybody seem to help me. I cannot make or receive calls, and when I try to dial out, it drops my signal all the way down and disconnects the call. I can barely send/receive texts--sometimes it takes hours for them to send or for me to get them. The data just drops and says searching for service randomly. I went and bought a cheap Straighttalk phone to see if the issue is that maybe it was because I've got an old Note 5 (but I love it), but when I switched to the new straight talk phone, it still did the same thing. So I then switched back to the Note 5 because if it wasn't going to work anyway, why would I keep a cheapy phone.
Has anybody had this problem or do you think it could be an issue with porting my number from Verizon?

Welcome to Android Central! What's the exact model number of the phone? Are you certain you got the Straight Talk SIM intended for Verizon-compatible phones (as opposed to the one for AT&T and T-Mobile phones)?
