Switching from StraightTalk to AT&T
I have a iPhone 6, but the current service is StraightTalk which is expired and I bought an AT&T prepaid card. How do I switch from StraightTalk to AT&T service since I have the AT&T prepard card now?

Presuming you want to keep your number, you need to port it. Take your new SIM card to an ATT store to port your number. If you bought that iPhone from Straight Talk, you might also need to get it unlocked. Contact Straight Talk for that.

I believe Straight Talk requires 12 months of services before they will unlock.

If you want to keep using that phone, yes. You could always sell it and buy a different phone.

Another SIM card from where? Another Straight Talk sim? If so, sure but you probably don’t need a new SIM card. If your Straight Talk service just expired, you should be able to restart service.

If I'm right the sim card is the mini chip that came with the phone package. Is there a way I could buy another one of those?

Yes but again, you probably don’t need one. A new SIM card means a new number. You can probably keep using the SIM card you already have, just restart your plan.
