Do I need to purchase a sim card or can I just activate this on an AT&amp;T network?

If it doesn't have a SIM card you get it from AT&T when you activate it. If it says it is for AT&T it should already have a SIM card.

A regular SIM Card, i bought a AT&T 3G SIM card and inserted it myself and called AT&T and activated it but i found out later, that if you go to a AT&T cellular store, they will give you an free 4G SIM Card, and activate it for you and the phone then becomes a GO PHONE through AT&T, the reason i am telling you this is because, you cant use a Verizon SIM card in these smart phones, only AT&T will allow you to buy a different brand phone and insert their SIM cards!

You don't need a T-mobile SIM. You can use an AT&T; one from a Go Phone or just go to an AT&T; store and tell them you need a pre paid SIM card. It just needs to be a GSM card.

I had a AT&T; phone. I took the Sims card out and put it the snapfon. I don't remember if I had to activate this phone since it was not an AT&T.; Hope this helps you.

As far as I know you have to have a Verizon plan. If you do then you can activate it on line or by calling Verizon.

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

So, if I have an AT&T; account already, can I just switch SIM cards and have it work?

You have to buy the AT&T; sim card and then you have to purchase either a plan or minutes.

You still need your att store to activate your new phone. Any location should do this free of charge

I would add one additional tip: make sure you call ATT to activate the SIM by putting minutes on it. The SIM alone costs about $25 and to add minutes it is another $25.

Since it is an AT&T; phone, you don't need to have it unlocked to use on AT&T; prepay. Just put in a prepay simcard are you are good to go. And, no, the phone is not unlocked in that it can't be used on networks other than AT&T.;

The kind of SIM card that takes if it is an AT&T phone then you may have to use an AT&T SIM card.

No. You will have to provide your own, purchased from one of the compatible carriers. I use it with T-Mobile, and they charged $10 for the SIM card and activation.

If you bought a Straight Talk E5, it will have an AT&T; SIM, and that will be activated on Straight Talk. Tracfone doesn't actually have a network. If yours is actually an AT$T phone, or an unlocked one that was last active on AT&T;, you will need to order a SIM from ST or buy one at Walmart.
