Can I get the plan with this phone and just change out the sim to a different phone? I don't care if the Samsung phone stays locked to straight talk. I just need to know if I can switch to a different phone if need be. Thanks

I think you can get a plan with metro for 25$ a month now and not have to spend all this money up front and be stuck with a very mediocre phone.

$25 over a year is $300 and no phone. this is good if someone is just getting a phone for basic use, elderly parent, kid, etc. can port an existing # over when you start the service.

Sims are registered to phone imei.
The option is to buy a ST byop sim and then move the number/service to an unlocked phone.

Many don't care, but thus does have a micro sd card slot with support up to 1.5tb. If this phone is good enough I might get this. Thanks

Straight talk was after two months You can unlock it. I believe that's what it is, because it's a Verizon phone. I know somebody else told you it was one year, but I don't think that's right.

You need to do more research.
Policy changed to a year of service back in January of this year - for all TF, TW and ST phones. It's right on their website.

From their unlocking policy: "For all cellphones Activated on or after January 20, 2026, the cellphone will be unlocked upon request after 365 days of paid and active service."

Cellphones on the Verizon network on or prior to 1/19/2026:

For all cellphones Activated on the Verizon network on or before January 19, 2026, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically 60 days after paid Activation and 60 days of paid active service.


Cellphones on ALL networks on or after to 1/20/2026:

For all cellphones Activated on or after January 20, 2026, the cellphone will be unlocked upon request after 365 days of paid and active service.
Note: To fulfill the "365 days of paid and active service" requirement, your cellphone must be active, and your account must be paid in full, in each case, for a cumulative total of 365 days. If your service becomes inactive (e.g., due to missed payments or suspension), your progress toward the 365-day requirement will be paused, except due to a service outage caused by Verizon Value or its partners. Progress toward unlocking will resume once your account is reactivated, continuing until you reach the requirement of 365 paid and active days of service.
