Is it possible to put a unlocked Verizon s6 on straight talk?

[MACHEK]

I can't seem to find a straight answer on this. If I buy a Verizon S6 without a contract can you place it on Straight talk? I see that they sell Sim card for lte so I am under the impression you can but can't verify

HERE is a discussion on that network.

Thanks but that doesn't really help. I don't want it on the att network, straight talk also uses verizon towers with CDMA phones. I'm just checking to see if anyone here has done this yet with this phone and straight talk since they now sell lte CDMA Sims.

you must be talking about some Straight Talk i have never hear of because the national Straight Talk Wireless which you can see on their info page here where it says :

Which phones are compatible?
The Straight Talk SIM card will only work with an AT&T or T-mobile compatible or unlocked GSM phone.

that is why i gave you the link to the ATT thread

I can confirm that Verizon's S6 works on Straight Talk (AT&T sim version). You will get calls, messages, and even LTE data. The only downside is that incoming calls will be prefixed with + (plus) which breaks contact matching: e.g. if you are getting a call from 650 000 0000 then it will show as +650 000 0000 and it will break contact matching (it will look as an unknown number).

Ok this is what I'm talking about, a CDMA phone using this lte sim that they sell for Verizon phones. They fit right in and supposedly give you LTE, it's new this year

Yeah apparently no is aware of this yet online..... I do think it will work thought I found one guy on you tube that used the cdma sim for his verizon iphone.
I am very curious I mean obviously it has to work or else they are selling false cdma sim cards lol. There byop system says my vzw s4 is compatible now which use to it did not.
For the people who still think straight talk only sales att tmobile sims look here you are wrong shopstraighttalk com/bpdirect/straighttalk/Start.do?action=view&siteType=TR&gotoPhonelist=true&productFamily=CDMA%20BYOP&market=CDMAV&locale=en[/url]
also page plus offers 4g lte sims for verizon also. Im about to buy a verizon gs6 off ebay use it to finish up my remaining 4 months of contract with verizon and the switch.

For what it's worth, i have a straight talk cdma SIM running in my Lumia Icon which is a verizon phone/

This definitely will work, I purchased a galaxy s4 verizon version, and put it on straight talk. You have to purchase the correct sim kit (the red one, not the blue one). The only thing is they limit the speed of the LTE to around 5 mbps download.

I would recommend the new Verizon prepaid plan, it is slightly more expensive than straight talk ($45 for 1 gb, extra 3gb is $20 but rolls over for 3 months), but it is real verizon and unthrottled 4G speeds.
On another note, post pay verizon = american customer service. Prepay verizon = foreign accent/hard to communicate customer service. Its not as bad as straight talk's though

Yes it will work No need for unlocking .. I just purchased a S6 edge from verizon NOT UNLOCKED .. and just used the SIM for Verizon through Straight Talk! So all is good! No enjoy that beautiful phone!

I just received my unlocked Verizon S6 in the mail today, threw my Verizon ST sim card in it and it jumped right on no problems at all
