Can anyone comment to the steps for setup? I'm curious about the ATT SIM that is pre-activated, I'm not sure I understand how it works.

Set up was simple. I just added a line down at att then stuck the SIM card in. First pic failed, which I think activated it, then from then on was solid. Other ppl said that getting the card activated was the hardest thing

I didnt have to do anything--it came unlocked and ready to go and i went to t-mobile (which has no contracts.) to get it activated. It was not connected to an AT&T; contract. When you buy an unlocked phone it cost more, but you arent obligated to ATT. If you bought a locked phone i believe you will have to get it activated at the AT&T; store.btw--its been a great phone!

I took this phone to the local ATT store. They put an ATT SIM in it and put it on the prepaid GoPhone plan. Works just fine.

Mine came set up for ATT, if that is what you wanted to know. I bought a SIM card for Straighttalk but haven't been able to get on.

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 bought the sim card first and then activate it. The sim card is very cheap tho.

Wish I could. I wanted to use ATT because I have a go-phone acct there. they would not allow web access on my account. Said I needed a data account.I'm waiting for a Sim card from AirvoiceWireless.com to arrive, They have some sort of $10 plan To test access. They warned it might or might work.I did not try T-Mobile after readin gother reviesws here. HTH John

Just read the previous response. This person is wrong. My uncle changed from att to a Verizon prepaid plan. Did this 6 months ago.

This one does not work with att. This card is a straight talk/T-Mobile but you can buy the straight talk/at Sim card. If you do, be sure to use an att or straight talk phone. Otherwise, you will get a really suckky signal. My personal experience, this Sim worked awesome ( no problems at all) with a straight talk phone. Signal sucked with my T-Mobile phone.

I have a t-mobile sim and its been working perfectly. I live in the Chicago. Make sure the phone is fully charge and it should work with att and simple mobile also.

Got the Sim card at AT&T; retail store for free, but AT&T; is our cell phone carrier. I don't know who the major carrier for straight talk is but I would start there first.

Hi Gurjit, Considering buying this phone. Bot able to connect to ATT Internet you say (does that also incl. EDGE)? Please elaborate?I've read in other reviews that the Nokia 5800 has no problems using ATT Internet/ EDGE and people have even been able to configure and use their BES on this phone. So looking to get this info from you before I go forward with this purchase.Thank You, EBM aka SlimFady (360)

the first thing i had to do was get the phone unlocked. if you're paid up with att they have to unlock it. they have a site for this

Go to your local att store or whichever your carrier may be...when u insert the sim card it should promt u!!!

I was an ATT subscriber already so I just changed the sim card and the bill was the same on a family plasn..If Im not mistaken, you can create an account and pre-pay with a credit card for a period of time if youre not an ATT customer already.

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.

Just take the sim card to your preferred carrier and ask them to activate it for you. These sim cards are for pre-paid plans anyways...If you're going to AT&T; they have a site to activate the card. Follow the instructions carefully and you should be fine.
