I ordered this as just an unlocked Pantech phone but it came packaged as a GO phone. Can I put in my sim card and just use it as a regular phone?

I believe the Go phones are totally different than a regular phone. However, I'm not positive.

The phone is an unlocked device. It so happens that it is packaged as a go phone. Just put your SIM card in the slot and you are good to go.

Yes. That is exactly what I did with the one I purchased. Just installed my sim card instead of the one that came with it.

Yeah but note its a PREPAID Phone, if u have a contract already, you won't be able to use this phone. mistake I made haha

I believe you can. I used to have a basic cell phone from AT&T; with a go-phone plan. I took out my SIM card and installed it in the Galaxy phone with no problems. I first tested this by taking out my SIM card and placing it in a coworkers Galaxy phone from AT&T; and it worked. Just make sure this is an unlocked phone.

my old phone was a Nokia 6010 which ATT called a gophone in 2004. my sim was from a newer phone but same kind. i dont know what a gophone is now or whether yours has the same sim. but mine worked and its a nice little phone.

I don't see why not. I switched from a Pantech Ease with a broken screen to another I bought on amazon. All I had to do was swap the sim. You should make sure that the phone is from the same carrier (ie. AT&T;) in case your original one came from another carrier like T-Mobile.

I am assuming you mean "prepaid" phone. I currently use it through Verizon on a contract I pay monthly. I do not know if it can be used as a prepaid phone.

Unfortunately all of these companies that have a prepaid plan make you purchase phones through them specifically AT&T; as of June is letting people bring any phone to them that is unlocked and can become a go phone this specific phone has AT&T; logo on it however I didn't know that when I purchased it I'm happy with the service through AT&T; however with their go phone service I pay a flat rate each month no contract

Mine works with an att sim card but I think you need to contact att to see if it will work on a go phone plan

I only owned the Pantech-I had no problems. I also dont get data plans as I dont have a use for them so I dont know how either works with that plan. If you go used with ATT be sure to take your phone to the local ATT shop and get a new sim card

I did this last month...bought a phone, AT&T; put a sim in it for me on a Go Phone plan. It's a good deal. It should work for anyone.

I use it for voice and SMS messaging only and wifi all over town. Just call AT&T; go phone with SIM card is. I had an old sim and phone number that I just transferred to the new nano sim and iPhone

Unlock means it can be from any carrier but it prefers AT&T.; I have a go phone with no contract and had to go get a $50 sim card specially for the mifi hotspot device because it was not compatible with my go phone sim card even though I have the $50 package of unlimited data, text and talk.

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

Yes, just put your SIM card in from your old phone and go. I did the same thing after purchasing this phone.

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.

no it came with a regular sim card.but be careful the one I got when I tried to activate it it said it was already activated now I got a phone I cant use unless I buy my own sim card which I shouldn't even have to.
