Can an unlocked Samsung Galaxy be used for Straight Talk?

Q. I was on eBay and was planning on buying a Samsung Galaxy S 2. It's unlocked, so it has no carrier and it will take any sim card. I want to do the WalMart Straight Talk plan as well. If the phone is unlocked, will it work with Straight Talk? Please help me out.

A. Yes as long as the phone is a GSM phone it will work.

Go to Straight Talk for more information on the phones that will work with the bring your own phone program and to buy your first month of unlimited service and your sim card.

Original Question

Can the Samsung Galaxy Tablet be used without signing up with a carrier?
Q. If I buy a Samsung Galaxy Tablet from Sprint at the full price, without signing a two year contract, can I still use the tablet thru wi-fi or will I still need to sign up for a data plan to use the tablet? Will the tablet be activated without getting that data plan?

A. I'm not sure but you do know they have a wifi version?

Original Question

Buying a used Samsung galaxy s2 phone. Do I need a sim card for this use?
Q. Im planning on buying a used Samsung galaxy s2 phone off craigslist. Can I just use it as a camera or other non data apps without having a sim card in it?

A. Usually you can. I have seen some androids that won't let you get past the No SIM error screen, but most will let you just use them all right. Which branded model S2 are you getting? I ask since ones for T-Mobile and AT&T use a sim, while the Verizon one does not. This may affect what the phone wants you to do when you start it up...but the S2 is advanced enough that you should be fine.

Why buy a phone and not have it active, though? True, have to spend the money on it, but you can go to a prepaid plan now that is actually as cheap or cheaper than the amount many folks are spending on their phone only plans.

FYI, I have Solavei, for example, that gets you unlimited data, talk, and text for $50 a month. Also, you can share your experience with others and make money from your cell phone. Their service uses the T-Mobile version Samsung Galaxy S2 model SGH-T989 for getting the most reliable of service at 4G speeds.
