A user on HowardForums posted a photo of the Galaxy S III&#8217;s StraightTalk retail packaging, and as of now you can purchase it directly from StraighTalk&#8217;s website. The phone is unbranded and comes at the very reasonable price of $439.99. Aside from StraightTalk&#8217;s website, the S III should be available at Wal-Mart soon.<span id=\"more-162273\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now for the bad news, the device runs on Sprint&#8217;s CDMA-LTE network. If you live in an urban area this should pose no problems, but Sprint&#8217;s service is notoriously spotty outside of cities and its LTE coverage is still sparse in comparison to Verizon and AT&amp;T. Normally this wouldn&#8217;t be a problem, but considering the carrier (StraightTalk) uses multiple networks depending on what phone you have, its unfortunate that StraighTalk customer&#8217;s first LTE experience will have to be on Sprint&#8217;s network.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/162273-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-comes-to-straighttalk-using-sprints-lte-network\/galaxy_s3_box\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162281\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-162281\" alt=\"galaxy_s3_box\" src=\"http:\/\/img.talkandroid.com\/uploads\/2013\/05\/galaxy_s3_box-525x700.jpg\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a  href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&#038;xs=1&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.howardforums.com%2Fshowthread.php%2F1795518-Straight-Talk-branded-GS3%3Fp%3D15129779%23post15129779&#038;sref=rss\">HowardForums<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Come comment on this article: <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/162273-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-comes-to-straighttalk-using-sprints-lte-network\/\">Samsung Galaxy S III comes to StraightTalk using Sprint&#8217;s LTE network<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>Visit <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/\">TalkAndroid for Android news<\/a>, <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/\">Android guides<\/a>, and much more!<\/small><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/Fdh3MCtNiYQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pre-paid carriers are getting more and more high-end phones every day, and StraightTalk is no different now that they offer the Samsung Galaxy S III.
