Yes you can buy now and activate in May. It comes With $40 plan which has unlimited talk, text and data. If u wanna change to different plan you have to do it 30 days after activation.

No. They will only be able to cancel the first rate & you'll have to pay the complete amount of the one you actually want. Go with the $40 plan. As long as you have wifi at home it'll be perfect...other wise you'll wish u paid at least $40

Get a friend with Sprint to activate it on their account, and pay the $36. It does not take up a phone slot in their plan, and the phone used is charged for the minutes, not the Airave.

A big hearty ten minutes to start you off. I originally thought you got at least an unlimited month as the box says, but it is misleading to say the least, so I know where your question is coming from. 10 Whole minutes and then you buy nationwide for $50.00 or from $15.00 a month with unlimited carryover of service days and minutes. Nice phone, but bad packaging information. Glad you asked.

You can buy it online and if you already have a contract with your carrier, they will set it up for you. A lot of people do this when they want an upgrade, but are not eligible in their contract yet.

You pay the charge to activate phone. I bought this phone for my niece & added her to my plan.

I was a cingular customer on a month to month contract. I renewed a 2 yr. contract with AT&T; through amazon and bought this phone. The phone will come with a new 3G sim card, which you need to use in order to take advantage of AT&T;'s 3G network. Once you get the phone and new sim card, just call AT&T; and they will activate your new sim card and at the same time deactivate your old sim card. You can keep your old number (which I did), or you can pay $36 to activate a new number.Also, there is an $18 charge to upgrade your equipment/phone (standard fee).

When you activate your need to pay for first month, phone will not activate without payment, I think you can use prepaid card for this.

Yes you can if fact last time I activated the phone that was the only plan they had they did away with the other like the 70.00 dollar one. I went Verizon contract because the phones u get with pre paid r 3 year old phones so if anything goes wrong u will need to buy another.

sheriesapphire, I am like you. I have purchased this phone and am on an att postpaid account (non-gophone user). Make sure you put in your own SIM card first, do not put in the one that comes with the phone.Now to your question: Because you are a regular att customer, you will only have the option of buying the $15/$25 data plan options. You will not be able to purchase the gophone rates. I did not have to purchase a data plan because when I had my previous smartphone (purchased out of contract) I placed a data block on my account when it was still allowed for smartphones. For most regular att users, the $15 add-on plan would more cost-effective than the gophone rates anyway sheriesapphire, I am like you.

you have to activate it. They will do it for you. The plan starts on the day you activate it.

No you do not. Go to clear.com and select activate device. There should be 2 plan options. 39.95 and 49.95

I would call a local t-mobile store and ask. I have a monthly pre-paid plan 1500 minutes or texts for $30. I have an account online and whenever my 30 days or my minutes/text are up I go online and renew by credit card. There is a delay in restarting your plan if you let it completely lapse, which can run from 1-4 hours. Not sure how well that answers your question.

Yes they are preloaded with the $39 plan and you can activate anytime, they do not have a expiration date. Just call the number on the card or go to the website on the card and you can activate.

Depends how it described in the Seller's information.Some Prepaid phones come with $10.00 airtime, so you can activate it but you'll be told that you have X minutes remaining on each call. Once you hit zero minutes or just a few, you can the purchase minutes from Verizon - and I seem to rememer that it's a $50.00minimum.Once you have owned it and used it for 6 months, you can put it on one of Verizan's plans.If there are no "AirTime" in the deal, Verizon will charge an activation fee.Regards,BobO'B

As far as I know you have to have a Verizon plan. If you do then you can activate it on line or by calling Verizon.

I was in the same situation. I broke my phone and they wouldn't give me contract pricing. Yes, you can activate the phone, and buy a new phone at contract pricing when your current contract expires. I wasn't charged any activation fee. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can activate it in the US. You can test it by sending a text to it, as receiving texts is free. Using it in the US would be very expensive though, so I would advise against using it for calling in the US. You can't buy airtime with a US credit card, but you can buy top-up vouchers from online 3rd-party sellers if you want to load it up before you leave. I bought mine (from phonepal.co.uk) before leaving and managed to get money onto the account while still in the U.S. Otherwise, you can just wait until you are in the U.K. to buy airtime for it.
