I was wondering if now that Straight Talk is an official iPhone carrier, will iTunes now push official Straight Talk ipcc files to unlocked iPhones with all of the correct settings for data, mms & Visual Voicemail automatically?!???
UPDATE:
After some research, I am finding out that the Straight Talk iPhone is intended for CDMA Straight Talk customers (Verizon's network).
The Model number is A1429 BUT:
Verizon's iPhone 5 is Part #MD655LL
Straight Talk shares the same part number as Cricket. Part #MD105LL
LTE WILL NOT work on the Straight Talk/Cricket iPhone.
You will only get CDMA EV-DO on Straight Talk.
Inserting a Verizon nano sim DOESN'T get LTE either. The toggle button for the LTE appears and the carrier banner changes to Verizon but the data service never changes to LTE. The phone features 3G service only.
The hotspot feature turns ON.
Dial *228XX for provisioning on Straight Talk CDMA.
Those using Straight Talk with HSPA+ SIM cards can probably continue to do so unsupported and unofficially. But the way the "official" Straight Talk iPhone works, probably kills hope for official support for the unlocked models with IPCC files, etc.
