What experience have you had with AT&T unlocking the phone, and charge for activation? I assume it will be the standard activation fee??

The phone I purchased is not unlocked. I just needed a micro SIM card. They can either cut your older SIM card or issue you a new one. There is no charge if you have an att account.

I believe if you r just using an existing number there is no fee. My father's phone was stolen. I bought the breeze and ATT even gave me a new SIM card when they re activated the number. There was no fee.

There 2 versions one is Att. Att can unlock after 6 months service. Don't look to buy unlock codes :-( the other is a global version which u can use 3rd party sim card usually higher in price about $30.00 more

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

I'm not sure how much it may cost to unlock it , but I do believe you can ask AT&T to unlock it, or go to a cell phone store that does that type of service...

I have my account with T-Mobile and I purchased a phone that was set up with T-Mobile. If it is not set up to use AT&T then I think you would have to have Samsong "Unlock" it to AT&T network use, and then flash the ATT software into the devices programming memory ... but just educated guessing here I have never tried it. Good Luck. Mac Happy New Year!

Yes it is, that's what I have. Just drop in you sim, charge the phone up and connect to AT&T and you are ready to go. I must say though that I saw a lot of charges start to appear as if out of nowhere. No nig charges but small charges usually in the 1 to 2 dollar range. I would pick up my phone to make a call, swipe it on and there would be a message "The last transaction cost $x.xx." The thing was that I hadn't used the phone since my last call and I had already seen the msg about how much that call had cost me. I ended up putting my sim back in my Samsung dumb phone. However that isn't a problem with the phone. The phone worked great, good quality sound, beautiful display, easy to use and set up. All of those small unknown charges came from AT&T. I'm thinking about when my minutes run out of finding a better pay as you go service. I hope it's something compatible with my sim and the 917

I was an ATT subscriber already so I just changed the sim card and the bill was the same on a family plasn..If Im not mistaken, you can create an account and pre-pay with a credit card for a period of time if youre not an ATT customer already.

Hi,You have to unlock it first from AT&T.; I went on line to follow their unlocking process, but it didn't work and they kept saying that I was locked in a contract. I finally called them to request unlocking the phone, but they gave me a very hard time. It's unlocked now, and I was under no contract with AT&T; at the time of the unlocking. Any phone would have to be unlocked by the carrier company first before another carrier SIM card can be used, either in the US or any where in the world for that matter. I hope that helps.

The Sim card is something you will get from you carrier (AT&T;) There should be no charge for that as one of the earlier posts mentioned having to pay for it.

Thank you, but I am not a GoPhone customer - I was wondering about being able to pay that price for a data plan for a non-go phone current at&t; customer.

I just activated mine with the AT&T; sim card on Straight Talk and so far its wonderful. Coming from horrible Boost Mobile and a janky phone to this would be heaven regardless. But compared to contract services I've had in the past, this is an excellent phone and service

Hello, to my knowledge it should work with an existing contract. I completed my contract and have purchased a new phone that is under contract so there aren't any holds or anything on this phone; however, I'm not sure what type of activation fee AT&T; will charge. The iPhone 4s uses a Micro-sim card.

After you activate the sim card online or by calling an att rep.. They will assign your sim a number.. Works perfectly!!

If AT&T; is your provider, just insert you SIM card and all AT&T; network functions will immediately work as they should. You won't even have to visit the local AT&T; store for activation. The phones that are advertised as "compatible" or "unlocked" will not. They must specifically state that the phone is programmed for the AT&T; network as this one does. I bought two phones from this seller in the past year and both are still working fine and have been totally problem free. Even my elderly mother hasn't been able to mess her's up as she did with it's three predecessors (ha! ha!).

i remember when i purchased the phone, i was using an at&t; sim card. i just popped it in and could start calling right away. however, i would also email the seller to confirm as well just in case, because it has been a while since i purchased it and im not sure if the sellers are the same anymore.

Just found out from T mobile-The 9.99 deal is for existing customers, and it requires 2 year contract. Sort of defeat the purpose of buying an unlock phone.
