- Choose the appropriate option:
- If you’re activating a new phone with a new number, select “Activate my phone with a new number.”
- If you’re reactivating an existing Straight Talk phone or transferring a number from another carrier, select “Reactivate with an existing or new number.”
- Follow the on-screen instructions: You’ll need to provide information like your device’s IMEI or MEID number, your Straight Talk SIM card number (if applicable), and your chosen service plan.

Before you start the activation process, make sure you have your device’s IMEI or MEID number, your Straight Talk SIM card number (if applicable), and any service plan information you might need.
Reactivation timeframe: If you’re reactivating an existing Straight Talk phone, you can usually do so within 30 days of your service end date.
Transferring a number: If you’re transferring your number from another carrier, you’ll need to provide your account information and possibly a port-out PIN from your previous carrier.
