IS this phone the phone and then a 400 card that you can activate at any time later?

I'm not the seller of this phone, but since it says that you receive a pin for the minutes/days, you should be able to use that at a later time or even of a different Tracfone. Keep in mind, that if your other phone doesn't have triple minutes for life, you wont receive 1200 minutes, but 400 (unless your phone has double minutes, then it would be 800).

I was unable activate as it was not a Sprint phone. I did not get far enough use memory but there is a slot for the sd card.

Anybody can activate it. As long as you have a sims card. But I seriously do NOT recommend buying this phone. I thought it would be cool because the screen is so big. And I completely ignored the reviews. DO NOT BUY IT.

Yes. You can activate it anytime. I had one that I kept for six months before I activated it.

The instructions to activate comes with the phone. It is a simple call to activate the service

You are getting all different answers. I got it a while ago but I thought it came with a card which was easy to put in and activate.

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.

I never activated my card. I have AT&T; now. I did call the company before I bought the card. They said call them to activate.

No. This phone uses a micro sim. Your phone company can easily give you a micro sim and they can either activate it there in the store or you can call to have it activated. I had to do the same. A very simple process.

Yes you can activate and use with existing contract.That is what we did. Phone was like new and is still working great.

you can go to t mobile support and ask them. but so long as it is not a phone where you have to buy minutes in advance, it should work

No free minutes for activation but double minutes for life.When you buy 200 minutes it will double to 400.

400 minutes are tripled to 1200, but you can go on the internet and get a bonus code and when you activate the phone it will give you another two months service and 250 more hours. Total of 1,450 minutes and 424 days service. Be careful, some sellers are not including both the 1200 minutes and the year of service.

Let me get this straight, I get the phone, I "borrow" a friend's US SIM card, activate the phone by making a call, sending a text msg and use it for min. 5 minutes. Then I take out that US SIM card and put in my non-US SIM card and be able to use the phone from my own SIM card. Is that correct?

It is activated at the store you bought it from...but, you do not start using minutes until you enter the pin# into the phone

If it is the same sized sim card that this phone takes then you sure can! That's what I did. I was in the same situation as you, just wanted something to hold me over until my upgrade.

I could not get it to activate. YOu would be better to purchase a 29.00 phone from the company and use the card that way. You can also buy a phone at the airport but I would go ahead and prepurchase the phone that way you will know it works. good luck.
