How long do sim-cards last? Is the sim-card JUST to make the phone a go phone, and then the plan everything else? Otherwise?

You buy the SIM card and then set up your go phone plan with it. The SIM card then is inserted into the phone where it will stay in order for the phone to receive service. It last a while as long as u don't keep taking it out constantly. It's hard plastic.

These sim cards arent active. Once you receive them you have to add money and call the company to activate them. Im currently using the $25 plan. Unlimited calls and sms/mms. If you want to use the web I believe its starts at $40 for everything.

I believe you have it right. I know you can take a sim card from a go-phone and it will work in this phone.

In advance this answer will not be super helpful but here's what I know. I haven't tried it on 3g. I use wireless instead just because of the plan I have.. I IS unlocked. I coincidentally use an At&t; sim but it is a go phone sim card (no required plan- prepaid) and It works fine. It does not come with an SD card. I had my own from my old phone and had to use that. Also the battery retains about half a days worth of charge with network and WiFi in use. maybe a day if you don't touch it. The battery starts of with an excessively short life span until you charge it and let it die a few times... Well that's it from me. Hope this helped.

Not necessarily. I just bought one up through BB and had THEM set it up. SOoooo glad, too.The SIM from my pre-existing GoPhone (Nokia) gave a "Card cannot be used" message. The included, new, card had to be used and the switch done via a phone call. It wasn't EASY.

I remember using that phone for more than 2 busy days on long calls on a single charge. It can last for a week if you are on just normal daily calls... It is an excellent cheap standard phone. You will not regret it should you get one.

This was one of favorite and the last feature phone that I have. You should switch to tmobile or one of those month to month service. Just get the Sims card and opt for no data plan.

I bought it for that reason and NO you can't. I confused me & I wish I had asked first. I bought it for my Dad because he lost his phone. We couldn't use it. They(Verizon) he could use it 60 days after their plan ended if he wanted a pre-paid option. Its still in the box!

Hi - wanted to clarify something. The SIM is the ID card from the service provider. This phone it comes with that when it's purchased and that sim is forever to stay with that phone. when you buy it, it should be there. You can use the SIM to store contacts, music, pictures, etc. Then if you want additional storage you can put in a microSD card. I have an SD card that I use for photos and music myself.

I am sorry but I have never used mine and have given away my phone. However I still have the SIM and would also appreciate knowing if it will work in any phone, or if there is a time limit on its activation.

Any AT&T; phone can be a go phone but may require a new SIM card at store. The go phone is a billing plan, not hardware.

Hey,It depends on the package that you chose after buying sim card. The $19 /mo gives you 100mb of data and unlimited talk.

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!

Yes I use it on at&t; go phone $65 monthly plan. It doesn't come with a sim but you can go to an at&t; store & get one for free they will also activate it for you if you want.

Hi Eldho,The SIM card is a regular Mini SIM, which are the most common ones out there. They cost about $5. The device includes one, but you'll have to check if it can be reused. Daniel

Yes, a Go Phone micro SIM card comes with the phone. If you are looking to add this phone to an existing non-gophone line on AT&T; you will need a different SIM card than the one that comes with it though.
