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.

It is locked for sprint. I have this phone and the battery charge port went out after 3 yrs. I ordered this new phone from amazon. You do not have to go to sprint to activate. If you have a sprint contract which I do, I just removed the sprint sim card from my old phone and put it in the new phone and viola, all my contacts are saved and the phones works fine.

No it is not unlocked, it does not use a sim card, it can only be used through the Sprint network

This is for the sprint network, it doesn't require a SIM card for our network, I bought this phone for my husband and I have an iPhone no s card. AT&T; and t mobile require SIM cards, sprint and verizon don't, that's why you will see I think DMVO and CDMA ( I think) next to sprint and verizon phone vs phones for networks that use SIM cards.

No, it doesn't. You'll need to contact Sprint in order to activate the phone, and they'll assign you a phone number. More than likely you'll be told to go to their website to activate the phone but just make a big stink and the rep will eventually activate the phone. Hope this helps you. Sorry for the delay in my response time. I was cleaning my Inbox of old email and I guess I missed this one the first go-around! (:-)

You need a GMS type phone that takes SIM (or micro SIM) cards. So, if you are on the Verizon or Sprint networks your phone will not work.

I think you have to buy a sim card... actually with Verizon accounts, that is included upon activation, so you don't actually pay separately for it. I LOVED this phone but hated Verizon. I would still be using it if I could put up with them!

No this iPhone is locked so you can only use it through sprint I would recommend the pay - as - you go plan if you get this iPhone. (To answer your comment)

No you can't , sprint doesn't work with SIM cards only AT&T; . I wouldn't suggest this phone to anybody. When I received this phone it wouldn't connect to sprint,

You have to make sure its completely unlocked. I'm not sure if Sprint phones still have SIM cards. The Carriers without cards may not accept phones outside of their network.

Nope. Sprint doesn't use Sim cards, so Sprint phones are Sprint only, and have to be set up in store.

If your iPhone was issued by at&t;, Yes you can use this sim card. If it was issued by sprint, No, you can not use it. Sprint phone build different and there is no place to put sim card.

It is unlocked, but I don't know if it's compatible to activate with sprint. Regards

You need a Sim from sprint to connect to their network regardless of what phone you have. And you have to have an account with sprint

You can use as long as u have a sim card im not sure if u can use with sprint you would have to call sprint and tell them the model number and see if your able to use it . I had many dropped calls good idea but it didn't work for me
