Unfortunately it is not. This phone takes micro SIM. Luckily, my t-mobile SIM is customized for both sizes. I just broke off the mini SIM from the big and inserted it to the slot.

No. Also since it replaced one we had lost we had to get a new sim card from the phone company

Not sure which size are you referring to by 'small'. Yes, the phone I got was unlocked.

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 :)

It does not have one in it , if you have at&t; you just put your existing SIM card in it

Yes...mine came with a T-Mobile SIM card and the instructions guided me in registering it for my lifetime free 250 MB of 4G data. I would assume one could swap out another SIM card as long as it is the same frequencies (AT&T in US? Not sure about international).

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.

I don't know. It uses a tiny sim card; not he usual size. I also wanted to send it out of the US.

If you are replacing it with the same model I think you can use your existing sim card.

It takes a regular size sim card. Some companies refer to the regular size as a "mini," and the smaller ones are referred to as a "micro."

"Micro-sim" only has a smaller size than a normal sim. You can find instructions online how to cut your normal sim into a micro-sim; or you can just go to your provider and buy a new "micro-sim" with your old number.

Unless they have changed it since I bought mine six months ago, it uses a regular size Sim card. The card I already had in my Galaxy S2 worked fine with this phone. I have att.

It does take the AT&T; regular size sim card. Not the mini sim though. I can't speak for other carriers.

Yes, you can if you have the bigger older sim card. The smaller sim cards are for newer smart phones.

Yes. I bought the one that had the Verizon simcard already in it, but I am sure you can change it out to whatever you want. It comes with a small tool to change out simcards.
