I have AT&T, so can I just pop in my Sim card and start using the phone or do I have to take it to an AT&T store first for activation?

hi if its a sim card then you can just put it in the phone and start using it, because the phone is unlocked but if it doesn't work then i think it will be more advisable to take it to the AT&T; store. but i think it should. hope my answer was helpful.

It's unlocked so you can put any micro SIM in. You'll only get up to 4g/HSPA speed, not LTE.

I just popped in my SIM card and was good to go. I have AT&T; as well. If you have a MicroSIM you should be golden.

As long as you have a micro-SIM card you can just pop it in and select your network to connect to (it auto-detected correctly for mine but you can verify through settings). If you don't have a micro-SIM card then just swing by your AT&T; store and ask them for one, they'll hand it to you over the counter and get your account flipped to use it. 5 minute process. Enjoy the phone!

No, you will need to go to the store for setting it up as the unlocked phone doesn't have the data settings. Also note this specific model is 3G only. If you want 4 G LTE then you need to get the 899 model.

I don't believe so. They can't do that and plus this phone is an AT&T phone. You just pop your sim card in and it wotks automatically. But if they give you and issues just threaten to leave them for T-Mobile.

Once you receive the phone you will need to either go to a T-Mobile dealer or go online to T-mobile.com, set up an account and get a SIM card. You can pick from several plans with different per min costs. They will give you a phone number to use. Once you install the SIM card the phone will start working.

A regular SIM Card, i bought a AT&T 3G SIM card and inserted it myself and called AT&T and activated it but i found out later, that if you go to a AT&T cellular store, they will give you an free 4G SIM Card, and activate it for you and the phone then becomes a GO PHONE through AT&T, the reason i am telling you this is because, you cant use a Verizon SIM card in these smart phones, only AT&T will allow you to buy a different brand phone and insert their SIM cards!

If you have an AT&T; SIMM card, you simply place it in the phone. That's what I did. I'm not sure how you activate it under it's prepaid abilities.

You always have to activate a SIM, otherwise it wouldn't be in your name. It comes with a code to use already though.

If you have a SIM card from your previous phone, you should just be able to insert it and go-same number the original phone had. With no SIM card, you do need to go to Verizon for them to activate it but there usually isn't a charge.

Btw go into a actual ATT store and not a authorized dealer. The SIM card is free with ATT while the dealer will charge you for the SIM card.

when you get the phone, call At&t; and start the port. You have to have the imei first.

Yes, you can use your SIM card, and that's exactly why I bought it. I did not want to enter into another agreement with AT&T;, and additionally, I like a flip phone... and these are a dying breed. If you're looking to put your SIM card in... by all means, purchase the phone. Make sure your contacts are Saved to your SIM card from your old phone, to avoid having to re-enter. Good luck!

Hi, if you already have a NEXTEL SIM CARD you do NOT need to activate, just put your old sim in it and thats it. This phone is unlocked. BUT ! you can not use ATT, T-Mobile or similar sim cards in it. THIS IS FOR NEXTEL NETWORK

Ralf, there shouldn't be a problem. When you go through the activation process, pick the $25 plan (which has do data), and you should be good to go. Remember that AT&T; requires data for all smartphones. Therefore, if you want the $25 plan and add no data to it, you have to use the 15-zeros-IMEI trick. This is to make AT&T; think that you're on a "stupid-phone" and not on a smart one.

You still need your att store to activate your new phone. Any location should do this free of charge
