You'll have to first active your simcard then give AT&T; customer service a called to active your samsung mobile phone to the simcard. Hopefully I helped in time.

order a Sim card acording to the type of phone you have aND the cell service carrier. in my case i ordered my sI'm card for att service. When you receive the simcard You can go to the carrier Web site to activate the card. You need your phone imei number. If you don't want to use your imei number enter only ceros (0). they will asign a phone number. You then buy a plan with a credit card or a prepaid card you ca get it either online or at a regular store like walmart. They will give you intrusions at the carrier website.

I used a Activation kit, it had two sims card in it and I used the Big one. Call your service provider and they can walk you thru it if your having a hard time, I did. I used straight talk. and they were very helpful. Hope this help.

We tried our existing SIM card but it didn't work. Then we took it to AT&T; and they couldn't make it work. AT&T; told us we bought a defective phone. I contacted the company I purchased it from and they processed a refund for us. So buyer beware - a used phone may or may not work for any number of reasons. Ideally, the SIM should be transferable as long as the phone and the SIM are issued by the same carrier. Hope that helps.

No the phone is not unlocked, but I'm pretty sure if you get a new sim it should be able to work

This phone did not come with a sim card. It is for the Verizon network. To active the new phone:1. Enter *228 and press send. 2. Select option 13. Enter your cell number4. Enter your passwordThe phone will then activate to the number used on your old phone.

it should work its unlocked and as long as your service requires a SIM card you should be good to go. also i am really not sure what kind of phone this is i sold mine, its generic and i a lot smaller then i thought. and its not a samsung Galaxy copy alottt smaller. i wouldn't recommend it but everyone has their own choice in things....good luck.

I did that today. My phone is active right now WiFi only. I received two free texts from Verizon, so I know the phone is working. I also bought a 15 minute card, but didn't activate it. I set up an account at MyVerizon. They didn't ask for any money.

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

if there is no sim card slot, then the phone should be a straight talk phone. you should be able to call the activation center, and they will walk you through getting your phone set-up.

You may have to get this phone unlocked. I had to when I got mine even though it says unlocked phone. Its only the simcard you change out so it should work wih a go phones sjm. As for the name they dont have one on there its a Chinese copy of a Samsung galaxy phone
