Would the 928 work on CDMA Straight Talk?

I was hoping I could purchase a used 928 on Craigslist and use it on the Verizon network (without the contract lol). I know I wouldn't get LTE, but even Verizon's 3g speeds would be great.

As far as I know, they only have BYOD for T-Mobile at this minute, unless you get a ATT sim off of eBay.

You can totally do this. Service should be around $60 depending on data choice with an activation fee. See Verizon's website for off contract terms and conditions.

So I could put this on Straight Talk CDMA, and get "unlimited" data (whatever Verizon's data limit is), unlimited talk, and unlimited texting? Basically, the exact same thing I have right now on ATT Straight Talk GSM?

They have BYOD for CDMA phones as well. You can get a phone for Sprint or Verizon, and the code on the side of the phone will tell you if it is Verizon or Sprint. They have a BYOD kit (without the phone) that I saw at Walmart yesterday (which is what made me think of switching from the 920 to the 928).

PagePlus is another MVNO that uses Verizon's network. You may want to take a look at that as well.
