Can I just put my SIM card from my old phone? do I need to go to the store to activate this new Samsung?

Yes, however you will have to call your service provider once you do so that they can make sure that there are no service interruptions.

Depends. Some service providers "marry" their SIM cards to the phone, others do not. Even then if one appears in person, the store will provide a new SIM card that will work in the unlocked phone.

IF you are a current att customer on GSM, as I am, all I had to do was stick in the old sim and turn it on. The quad band capability does a "searching" for service. After a second it finds ATT and hooks up. Good luck, it is a pretty good phone, and mine has withstood a couple of drops to blacktop.

Yes. I am with AT&T; so I can only answer for my experience, but I have had no problems in transferring my AT&T; account to the new, unlocked phone.

If your talking about a Sim card then yes just take it out of the old phone & put it in the new one & you're good to go.

It has to have a SIM card. Just take the one from your old phone and put it in under the battery.

If it is the same sized sim card that this phone takes then you sure can! That's what I did. I was in the same situation as you, just wanted something to hold me over until my upgrade.

Hello,The one that I ordered *did* come with a SIM card - I don't know if there is a guarantee that all of them will ship with a card, but I think it probably should. The card is the new "micro" size, I believe, so I couldn't just stick my old one into this phone. However, t-mobile makes it super easy to activate the new SIM (or "update" your SIM information into a new card...same phone number and stuff). Search for "activate tmobile sim" on google, and it's like the third link. Here's the link (hopefully Amazon doesn't remove it) - http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4677. Hope that helps :) Hello,The one that I ordered *did* come with a SIM card - I don't know if there is a guarantee that all of them will ship with a card, but I think it probably should.

yes you will and as long as you already have an account with verizon. you just log in to your account online and go to activate your phone. Took me only 10 min. If not take it to the store and get set up with a plan.

If your current phone is similar to just purchased phone than no problem, but if its an older model like Galaxy 4g than new sim card is needed.

If you are buying the straight talk s2, you will have to call straight talk customer service and request one. If its your first time using straight talk, you will be assigned a number, if you already have and are currently using straight talk service, you can have your current number transferred to the sim card they send you. Make sure that the person you are buying the phone from removes the phone from their online straight talk account before they send you the phone, otherwise you will be unable to activate the phone and use it. When you call straight talk, tell them you bought the phone used and that it didnt come with a sim card, and they will send you the right one, it should be free, but if not, then not anymore than 10$

Hey sorry for the late reply. You can activate the sim card in another country but you have to have T-mobile service.

If you don't care about the $25 credit comes with the phone, you can just put your old sim card in and keep your old number. Otherwise, you will need to activate the phone with a new number. For me, the $25 credit didn't come automatically. You need to call and ask for it. Hope this helps.

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.

call customer support, you can do that, but I am not sure if they charge a fee or not to switch out sim cards. Or you could take it to a cell phone store (not corporate) usually not hard to find... and have your sim cloned to the micro sim

hi if its a sim card then you can just put it in the phone and start using it, because the phone is unlocked but if it doesn't work then i think it will be more advisable to take it to the AT&T; store. but i think it should. hope my answer was helpful.

I bought this phone as a replacement for one that was lost at the airport. We got a new sim card from AT&T.; Our contract expired years ago and we did not have to renew it. If you're just replacing an old phone and your sim card is still activated, you don't need to renew a contract and can just install the old card in the new phone. It can connect to the web on a limited basis but AT&T; will charge you for using that feature. Hope this helps.

yes you can just make sure you turn the old phone off first pull the SIM card put it in a new phone and a new phone on and you'll have to redo your Gmail account everything but then it will activate the phone on that number
