If I wanted to do the Bring Your Own Phone Plan, which Activation package would I use? At&t or T-Mobil? Cause I already have a GSM chip. Wasn't sure.

Use att&t.; Only thing is though, you will be locked to their network. Maybe you should think about getting an unlocked phone, so if in the event you have to travel, you can just use a chip from whatever country you visit. Just a suggestion.

The phone is sold exclusively for AT&T;, although I liked the phone and purchased an un-locked phone to use it as a T-Mobile customer. Find the plan you like whether it's Tmobile or at&t; and purchase an unlocked phone. You will be happy with both your plan and your phone.

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.

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.

This is a phone that is on a CDMA network if you have the same network their you can use as long as they will program it on their network. We do have sims card phones as well and those are on the GSM network and most country's use this network system. so please check with your provider for more assistance with activation of this device. Thank you valued customer.

Having the same question!If I go with the 808, I'll need the dreaded micro sim.Is it as easy as going to my local AT&T; place and asking for a micro sim?Don't want to attract any attention to myself (if you know what I mean).

Hi, if you already have a NEXTEL SIM CARD you do NOT need to activate, just put your old sim in it and thats it. This phone is unlocked. BUT ! you can not use ATT, T-Mobile or similar sim cards in it. THIS IS FOR NEXTEL NETWORK

With wi-fi accessibility, do you need to have a provider (AT&T or T-Mobile) data plan in place (to access something like myspace or other)? What is the least expensive way to go, if you have any idea? I am in NY and do not travel much, but my child is spoiled by the sidekick and we had to cut the web, leaving texting open. It doesn't state it has AIM either. It seems AT&T is better in the no-choice game, but since we have a family network already on T-Mobile and unlimited texting and free T-Mobile to T-Mobile calls, I am not sure there is a savings. Please...its on sale today :)

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.

I just popped in my SIM card and was good to go. I have AT&T as well. If you have a MicroSIM you should be golden.

good afternoon to buy a Alcatel One Unlocked GSM Touchscreen Evolve AT & T T-mobile; when I put my simcard does not accept any phone line to Venezuela as I do to use it because when I try to register it manually or automatically tells me it can not connect try again later, as you might help

You can have the Samsung Galaxy III activated at either T Mobile or Metro PCS with no contract. I'm not sure about AT&T;, they do have no contract plans but I believe T Mobile or Metro PCS would be the better choice.

Check with the pay-as-you go and go-phone sections of AT&T's website. They are often changing the structures of their plans. Also there are options not listed when trying to order a package online. I use a $25 a month plan with no DATA, and use my home network for DATA related smartphone features. You can call and ask customer service about all available options.

You dont have to activate the plan ... as soon as you put the sim in and register it should start working .. if it doesnt work ... return the sim

My phone was set up for t-mobil when I got it but net10 gladly sent me a new sim card for att for free. It took a little bit of work to get to a solution to the problems ( weak signal etc) and it took 5 business days to get the new card. The spotty service was frustrating but I have the new card and it works great.

I use att, go to store free to open account, free sim card. You then buy data , I use a go phone prepaid.
