My cell service is already with Verizon. Does this phone require a SIM for Verizon or can I simply activate it online once received?

You will need a SIM card from Verizon for a 4G phone. If you currently have service you can transfer the SIM from your current phone. If your current phone doesn't have a SIM, they will provide one. They did so for me, free of charge.

Have to dial an service activation number that you should be able to get from the Verizon website. It is possible that all you need to do is just try dialing out with the phone and you'll be given instructions. However, when my wife had purchased this very phone, she had issues with xfering her service. I'm not sure exactly what it was.

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

I think you have to buy a sim card... actually with Verizon accounts, that is included upon activation, so you don't actually pay separately for it. I LOVED this phone but hated Verizon. I would still be using it if I could put up with them!

Yes u have to activate it but its pretty easy to do. Just go online to virginmobileusa.com and go to switch phones. From there u answer the questions they ask and then ur done

It requires microSIM. After you put in the Sim card it will require activation from the service provider and you shiuld be good to go with same phone number and data.

You will need a sim card for any carrier, I have a verizon phone that's unlocked, with a t-mobile sim card.

It is already activated. If you have an unlocked phone, after you put in the sim you can make calls right away even in the US, just dont pick it up as it will be long distance call.

order a Sim card acording to the type of phone you have aND the cell service carrier. in my case i ordered my sI'm card for att service. When you receive the simcard You can go to the carrier Web site to activate the card. You need your phone imei number. If you don't want to use your imei number enter only ceros (0). they will asign a phone number. You then buy a plan with a credit card or a prepaid card you ca get it either online or at a regular store like walmart. They will give you intrusions at the carrier website.

No. It must have a sim card, but Verizon won't charge you for a sim card. Least they didn't charge me for mine. But they won't activate it on the pay as you go, that plan is 3g and lesser.

Yes. Phone activated perfectly on the Verizon network. I would urge you to activate via phone. They will not try to sell you another data plan, nor newer phone. Just ask them to do a "device switch". This should not disrupt your current data plan...( I.e. unlimited data).

This phone I received was unlocked. We did not need a sim card for Verizon network. It is a great phone but unsure if you can activate it in the Dominican Republic. Contact your carrier to be sure.

If it doesn't have a SIM card you get it from AT&T when you activate it. If it says it is for AT&T it should already have a SIM card.

No SIM card, but I brought the phone into a Verizon store and they installed a new one for free. It was pretty quick and easy.
