I've been on straighttalk wireless now for 2 years.. I'm still using a 5S (I know it's embarrassing) and I want to upgrade.. Anybody know who sells this? Should I just go to Apple Store? Thanks for the help in advance!

Go to BestBuy.com, order the Verizon iPhone 7 for in-store pickup, go to customer service and pick it up, walk out without getting bothered by anyone in the mobile department.

You should pick the Verizon model because it is factory unlocked, works on all major U.S. carriers (GSM and CDMA), and uses the Qualcomm radio chip which is superior to the Intel radio chip that is used in the AT&T/T-Mobile models.

Be aware that StraightTalk does NOT support the iPhone 7 on Verizon's network, though. I personally tried it myself. The SIM worked in my iPhone 6 but not my iPhone 7, it would say the SIM cannot be activated by the network on this device. It should support it on GSM networks though.

I ended up on AT&T GoPhone prepaid with the iPhone 7 personally.

No problem! Happy to help, and I just went through this like 2-3 weeks ago myself.

AT&T GoPhone is AT&T's prepaid phone service. I pay $55/month (if you do autopay with a credit card) for unlimited talk/text, with 8gb of data, and unused data rolls over to the next month (but only rolls over for 1 month, it expires after that).
