By Humberto Saabedra on September 17, 2013

Straight Talk is hewing closely to the recent changes in Apple’s iPhone lineup and is now offering refurbished iPhone 4 devices for $200 online. With the iPhone 4 still remaining in Apple’s supported device lineup and the forthcoming iOS 7 update coming in a matter of hours, this is the lowest price so far for a refurbished iPhone from Straight Talk.

In addition, Straight Talk is also offering both of their former smartphone flagships in the Nokia E71 and 6790 for $9.99 and $19.99 respectively, making them perfect backup phones for ST users, or in the case of the E71, a prefect VoIP soft phone, owing to its built-in support for SIP and the majority of VoIP services.
