Convert a Net10 phone to Straight Talk service by changing SIM cards.

Converting a Net10 cell phone to work with Straight Talk service is possible by switching the SIM card of the Net10 phone with an active SIM card of a Straight Talk phone. The SIM card is a small card inside the phone that contains all the service information for that phone, and switching SIM cards transfers the phone service. Switching the SIM card in a phone sounds like a difficult and technical task, but in reality, it's as easy as changing a phone's faceplate. The process does not require any tools and only takes a couple of minutes to complete.
