I tried to have this activated by Great Call and was told no more "j" phones will be activated! Did anyone know this?

I did not know this. If you called Great Call and they told you this then it must be true. It appears that they have upgraded their phones and no longer want to deal with the old J phone. I no longer am a Jitterbug Phone User. I doubt I would ever become a Jitterbug Customer again.

I am no longer a Jitterbug user. Great Call service was not good and services were not as advertised.

No, I was not aware of this change. Amazon should be made aware as they are seling useless phones.Suspect that Amazon will return your money. Good luck.

I had to call them and they allowed me to remove the 'dead' one and add the new one without the activation fee and they moved the contract to the new one. That was a few years ago. May want to call and ask first.

Others say yes, but I can't find anything about it on the phone menus. Please tell us how!!!

Hi, Christy K. Is this a phone you are trying to purchase from AMAZON? I bought one that was Sprint ready last year, after my phone was stolen. I made sure it was supported by Sprint before I purchased it. I had no problems activating it. I hope this helps you. Rob H.

I was able to call T-Mobile and have it activated but it was a big hassle. It felt like they didn't want to do it. But it did get done in the end.

I actually bought the phone for my mom because her phone broke. She was under contract with Verizon and they are letting her use it. I believe that the only thing if anything that will be charge from Verizon is the activation fee. I had trouble activating it myself, but I called customer service and they walked me through it. Hope this helps:)

It WAS with Verizon. They no longer support this phone. I was unable to activate. Phone has been obsolete for years and seller's should be charged with false advertising.

I had the phone through Verizon and had no problem getting it activated. I am not sure about at&T.;

When I bought this card for my wife, it was to check out this type of Verizon card ordering. It came on a piece of copy paper with the pin to input on your phone for activation. We did not incur any fee(s) that she told me about. But this was used in place of the one we usually bought from W*****t. We waited only a few days to activate it. I'm not sure if this helped you out. But buy from this person. Our code worked out great! Good luck!

The one I bought was a replacement for a friend who had one go bad. I switched his sim card over from the one he already had. And it worked fine. I imagine you would have to obtain an activated sim card from your provider if you do not already have one. Sorry that is all I know about it.

I believe that I had to activate it. I was porting over a number, so this involved needing to activate it.

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.

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 wondered this myself and since I have assurance service I went to Walmart and bought the phone and tried to activate it and IT DID NOT WORK. I called later after knowing I had to return the phone and a assurance rep told me that there ARE working on adding smart phones.

I took my migo to verizon and they weren't even able to activate my phone. They said they no longer deal with migo's.

I think so, but it was a Sprint phone & I use Verizon, so I was unable to activate.

Maybe, Some phone are still can be activated Via Ting , I have to check one by one and see which can go, Once you buy the item send me a message that you want to use the item with ting and I will verify the MEID # and confirm with ting.
