How Can I Activate Straight Talk Via Website?

  1. Head to your SIM card package and locate the red Straight Talk activation code that came with it. This comes with the serial number to use to activate the Straight talk phone or SIM, rather than the serial number of your previous phone.
  2. Check the back of the Straight Talk service plan card and you’d find the service PIN. If you buy the activation kit from Walmart, it will either be the $30 or $45 plan. Or you can just buy the activation kit during the activation process.
  3. Once you get your SIM, head to www.straighttalk.com/activate. Type in the SIM IMEI or MEID or Serial Number from the red card activation kit if you bought the phone or SIM from TracFone and click “Continue” to proceed.
  4. Enter the last 15 digits if you purchased the SIM from TracFone for your phone. Type MEID if you bought your phone from Walmart or from the official Straight talk site.
  5. Type in your Zip code, and make sure it is the Zipcode to your main residence.
  6. Provide your service PIN, this is for those who bought a plan from either Walmart or TracFone or straight from the Straight talk site.
    If you didn’t, tap the credit card option to pay for your choice of service.
  7. Follow the process to create your Straight talk account. To ensure you’re not disconnected from the service, select automatic renewal for your monthly subscription.
  8. When you reach the confirmation page, put your SIM card in your device and hold on for some hours. Your Straight talk SIM will be activated in less than 48 hours, and you’ll be able to start making calls.
