You can activate it. But you cannot use it - get credit for it, unless you have a credit card registered to a UK address. However as I no longer have a UK credit card, I asked my dad in the UK to buy me a top up voucher from a newsagents in the UK.( I wanted to have credit on it so that I could text him when I landed at the airport in the UK). He then emailed me the code which I entered into my phone a few days before I left, in the US. So this is a way round it if you have a friend or relative in the UK. Otherwise you can get credit for it when you arrive at the airport, UK side.

Yes, you can activate it in the US. You can test it by sending a text to it, as receiving texts is free. Using it in the US would be very expensive though, so I would advise against using it for calling in the US. You can't buy airtime with a US credit card, but you can buy top-up vouchers from online 3rd-party sellers if you want to load it up before you leave. I bought mine (from phonepal.co.uk) before leaving and managed to get money onto the account while still in the U.S. Otherwise, you can just wait until you are in the U.K. to buy airtime for it.

My memory is a bit fuzzy but as I recall the answer would be yes. I know I was able to activate the card immediately but don't recall if I tried to use the phone prior to my arrival in the UK.

Yes, I activated mine in the US. I signed up with O2 London and did not use it until I got off the plane there. If I used it here it would've roamed to a local carrier and cost quite a bit.

I activated mine in the USA. I don't see any point in using it in the USA as the calls would be very expensive. You might be able to send a text to test it out though if that's why you'd want to use it straight away.

I couldn't activate it because the o2 website and phone system both require a UK credit card (as verified by the postal code). To activate it I had to buy top-up credits (you can use cash or credit) at a corner store, and then apply that. If you have a contact in the UK, you could potentially get them to do this part for you and send you the code.

Yes you can, just take it to your local verizon and let them know you would like to activate the phone. My husband loves it.

Let me get this straight, I get the phone, I "borrow" a friend's US SIM card, activate the phone by making a call, sending a text msg and use it for min. 5 minutes. Then I take out that US SIM card and put in my non-US SIM card and be able to use the phone from my own SIM card. Is that correct?

Yes. Just buy a SIM card in Asia for carrier of your choice and activate it. You will be good to go.

Yes, I bought mine in the US, but now have two European country SIM cards operating perfectly in it, although I had to have them both cut to micro-SIM size.

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.

No but you know your number once you order it and receive the Sim. You can only activate when you get to China. Works great.

You shouldn't use the SIM in the USA since you get better rates with a local plan. I purchased the SIM by mail, brought it with me on the flight and popped it into my phone on the way to Germany. Once there, I turned on the phone, input the phones unlock code, and was good to go.

Hi, you have to go to a Verizon Corporate store, they will give you the SIM. Retail dealers will charge you for the SIM card and activation. Found out the hard way.
