If you are still with verizon call or go into your local store to have it activated,There is no sim card to be removed.

What i did was to go online on my metro PCS account and swap meid and the sim card number there and then. I then power up the device and it should try to activate itself if this does not work then call new activation on your phone by dialing *228

It is without plan, you need to activate it online. You pay for their option online and then associate it with this simcard.

YES! You can just put your current sim card in that you have now. That's what I did.and I have AT&T.;

I took it to Mexico and just put the sim card, and worked perfect, no activation needed, as long as you buy it unlocked,

Yes I can help, to activate go to simplemobile.com The top tab bar will show activate/reactivate. Click that. Now just follow the on screen steps including the sim serial number when asked. If you have any questions or if I can be of any more help feel free to contact me. Thank you dsoldier210@gmail.com

Unfortunately you will need to contact Lyca Mobile for activation instructions. I don't activate the Sim cards.

Yes you can use an activated simple card. Just update the phone info on your account via their Web site.

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?

I activated mine. I had to take it to verizon and get a SIM card though. The fee for the card is $5.00. If you have the same phone already just slide the sim card out from above the battery in the back of the previous one and replace in new phone and turn on. Everythg should just transfer over.

You'd need to buy a plan with Simple Mobile to activate the SIM. They have a number of options for service, all of which include SMS service.

That's exactly what I did. No problem at all. Needed a new sim card but they didn't charge me for it :0)

Yes, just put your SIM card in from your old phone and go. I did the same thing after purchasing this phone.

inactivate? i just got this phone in the mail today (i selected 2 day shipping- for whatever reason, it was free of charge). Anyway, the instructions in the box told me to insert my old sim card into my new phone. After ordering the phone, my sim card was never affected. Something sounds wrong there- give Cingular a call. (btw- they also ship it with a new sim card, but i think it's just placed in the box as part of the default shipment in the event that the person purchasing the phone is a new customer). hope this helps!

You always have to activate a SIM, otherwise it wouldn't be in your name. It comes with a code to use already though.

The phone is ready to activate, but you will need to provide a Verizon SIM. Verizon will provide one to you if you are a current or new Verizon customer. Thanks!
