HELP!! What's the carrier of my phone?

CuriousHumanBeing · Nov 23, 2017

I want to unlock my phone but I don't know what the carrier is.
[https://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-LG-Stylo-3-16GB-Prepaid-Smartphone-Black/547422534]

I was using [www.theunlockingcompany.com] to unlock my phone but it's not giving Straight Talk as an option for carriers.
How do I unlock it? Straight Talk wants a full year of payment first before unlocking my phone and I don't want to waste my money on that.

Thanks!

Straight Talk is a type of carrier known as an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator), which means that it doesn't run or own a wireless network. Instead, it purchases the right to use towers from AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint.

Straight talk, net 10 and tracfone now have official unlocking policies.looks pretty restrictive !!! But it's a policy now
