does this phone work without a sim in it?

No. It doesn't. It is unlocked so that no matter where you travel overseas you can buy and insert a SIM card it in and use it. This is a huge advantage for people who travel all over the world since US phones are usually locked and can only be used with the company you buy the phone and SIM card from i.e, AT & T, Verizon, Sprint etc. I bought it for my father to use in Liberia, West Africa and he loves it.

Yes it does, but you're only going to be able to do emergency calls or internet calls using software like Skype...

It works but w/o the sim you wont be able to make calls and it will keep asking u for a sim

If you mean that you can still view messages, take pictures or listen to mp3, then yes it works. I no longer use this phone for calls. But it still is a handy dictionary, mp3 and back up camera when my iphone dies and i have a mst-have photo. It can also use the wifi its just slow compared the advancements now. Hope this helps :)

I do not think so. It will turn on but it will keep informing you that the phone has no sim card

I agree with Jhonnathan Rodriguez. You need a sim to be able to use it as a cel phone.

No it does not come with a SIM card. FYI it was a used phone even though the packaging is labeled new.

It did not come with a sim card, I used my old sim card and it worked. Also, I live in Trinidad

It takes a regular SIM. I took a sim from my T-mobile phone and installed it on this new phone and it has been working fine so far.

This phone doesn't have a sim card. It does have an micro sd card slot though and it will work in any similar slot.

I'm unsure, mine has a sim card for service but u may be able to just have phone and text service without a data plan depending on who's offering the plan.

Yes the phone comes unlocked. There is no sim card required. If you are in the Caribbean, the phone will work fine. If you are in the united states, must have an international plan. Good Luck.

The one I had was a Verizon version which contained no sim card. I think sims are pretty straight forward just pop out the old and in with the new.

No, this phone is for US Cellular and they don't use sim cards. You would need one for AT&T or T-Mobile or a GSM Unlocked phone. Thank you for your interest, Clayton Recellulartoo and Mobilekarma

No, it does not come with a sim card. You will need to purchase the sim card on your own.

It does not take a sim card. It was a Verizon phone. Not "international" phone.

Yes if you purchase it new i does come with a sim card. But if you purchase this phone used i would ask the seller if it comes with it before ypu buy

I bought mine in a straight talk box, but it works off Verizon towers so I don't think it used a sim card.

Yes it does! You just need a Micro SIM Card since that is the one that uses this Phone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sim_card#Formats).
