What carriers can I activate this phone on in the United States?

Paying full price for this phone only makes sense if you can use it on a pay as you go or local carrier, since the majors make you sign a 2 year contract and make you pay for the phone just as if you got it 'free' from them. You can activate it on any gsm carrier, ATT is the biggest. You can use H20 pay as you go, but that has limited coverage via ATT owned towers only. I use a local carrier called Airfire Mobile which does not subsidize handsets or figure that cost in their rates. I hope this helps.

if you've an unlocked phone, just slip a SIM card in. If not, Verizon's the only one that I know won't work for you because the 808's a GSM phone.

As far as I know, since this is a gsm 3G phone, the only US carriers would be AT&T; and T-Mobile. I have AT&T; and the phone works great on the system. The Nokia 808 requires a mini-SIM card, so your larger SIM card is not compatible. I went to an AT&T; office and they quickly made the appropriate SIM card for me without charge.

If you have a sim card connected with an account, and if you call your carrier. I'm on verizon and I can use mine in most countries. Most importantly call your carrier...

No. Even an unlocked phone from at&t; cannot be activated on Verizon. I tried. Verizon tried. Apparently IMEIs are tied to service providers and phones.

International = Unlocked Not intenational = Locked to be used only on a specific carrier network within the US

I think the Blackberry 9220 Curve Unlocked phone will work in the US because the service providers are now offering unlocked phones which mean they come equipped with SIM cards.

Well, the phone is thru Sprint but can be used anywhere that accepts Sprint phones. There are a lot of company that now take Sprint phones and activate them. Prepaid.

No it won't. Verizon won't activate it because it's not a Verizon brand phone. I bought this and it's still in the box because they wouldn't do it. AT&T however will send you a sim card for it, with your same number, and get much better phone service and customer service. It's worth it to switch!

This phone is not compatible with Verizon's service. Your choices in the US are Cingular (the new AT&T) and T-Mobile.

If it is unlocked, you can use it in any state / country. Just plug in your own SIM (of any operator) and it will work. I hope this helps.
