\t\t\t\tStraight Talk<\/a> is set to launch another big initiative. According to PhoneNews.com, the carrier tomorrow will launch a bring-your-own device program for Verizon-branded devices. This just adds to their BYOD program for AT&T and T-Mobile phones. There are certain limitations, which we’ll cover after the jump. But as PhoneNews.com notes, this puts Straight Talk in heated competition with Page Plus<\/a>, which also offers a BYOD program for Verizon phones.\n\nAs you might expect, the BYOD devices are limited to 3G smartphones, from the following list:\nHTC Eris\nHTC Incredible\nHTC Incredible 2\nHTC Rhyme\nHTC Merge\nHTC Trophy (Windows Phone 7.x)\nLG Vortex\nLG Enlighten (slide out hardware keyboard-update of the Ally)\nLG Ally (slide out hardware keyboard)\nPalm Pixi Plus\nPalm Pre Plus\nPalm Pre 2\nMotorola Droid (commonly referred to as the Droid 1) The Droid 1,2, & 3 have slide out keyboards\nMotorola Droid 2\nMotorola Droid 3\nMotorola Droid X (predecessor to X2, slightly lower specs)\nMotorola Droid X2\nMotorola Droid Pro (portrait keyboard)\nSamsung Continuum\nSamsung Fascinate\nAny\/all Windows Mobile phones like HTC Ozone, Samsung Omnia series, Palm Treo Pro\nAdditionally, you’ll have to get the $45 unlimited plan, though that is true for all smartphones at this point. You’ll notice the lack of iPhone in that list, but that’s because Straight Talk offers the iPhone directly.\nAgain, the promotion will start tomorrow, March 26th. ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
