Re: switching to straight talk
What android phone do you have?
In all likelihood though, no. Verizon phones are set to use CDMA frequencies and with the exception of 4g LTE phones, don't have SIM cards. Even the Verizon phones with GSM capabilities block US GSM frequencies. So without a lot of software/firmware modification, the phone will not work with Straight Talk

Re: switching to straight talk using Verizon phone
I'd like to update this.
Recently, it was announced that Straight Talk is now allowing Verizon Wireless phones. I believe you need to purchase an activation code for a low cost ($10 - $15).

Re: switching to straight talk using Verizon phone
You can bring in an unlocked Verizon phone that has a SIM card slot, but be aware that it most likely lacks the required data bands so you may find yourself on EDGE (2G).
