If you have activated the card....it had an expiration date. Does not matter if you used it or not. If you did not activate the card, you will need to call the 800 number that came with the card so they can turn it back on.

I believe so. Your just buying the equipment and can buy new minutes or a perminate phone number at amytime.

Yes it is. If you purchase a prepaid SIM from us, we will ship it to you with instructions to contact us before we activate it.Best Regards,Satcom Direct

Once the SIM card is activated, the expiration time starts ticking. It is good for one year, or 500 minutes from the date of activation. However, it is not necessary to actually do the activation until you are ready to use it. Feel free to call us about any other questions you might have. 888-636-0707. Globalcomsatphone

No you have to activate them.The instructions are on the card. You can do it online or by phone.

Not to my knowledge. You should check with Best Buy or Radio Shack or someone who sells cell phones, but i believe you must buy that company's phone to activate and use it.

NO,I made the mistake of purchasing this same phone to replace an old phone I have with Verizon. When I kept having trouble trying to activate it, I called a Verizon Rep. & he said unless the phone has been used on a "Prepaid" plan for 6 months, they can't connect it to your Verizon acct. I had to return it and get one that wasn't "prepaid". Make sure you read all the fine print in the item description. If you find one that's not "prepaid" as I eventually did, it will work just fine.

I had a sim suitable for an iphone 4 and it all worked well for me. I suggest you order well in advance if you want delivery to your home country and to take it with you to the US. Alternatively, have it delivered to a US address. You can activate the card any time in the US. Before purchasing, be sure that Ready Sim does cover the area of the US in which you will be using your phone.

No. I had to buy the card from a store. Then it took more than a day for the phone to activate. Since then it's fine, just annoying to have to pay to receive texts and calls. But I only needed it for 4 months.

Yes you can, just take it to your local verizon and let them know you would like to activate the phone. My husband loves it.

When you activate your account, you will be assigned a number. After that, if you want, you should be able to transfer an existing number if you wish.

It is already activated. If you have an unlocked phone, after you put in the sim you can make calls right away even in the US, just dont pick it up as it will be long distance call.

No, they told me at verizon that you have to use it as a prepay for 6 month before you can use it with an existing number

yes you will and as long as you already have an account with verizon. you just log in to your account online and go to activate your phone. Took me only 10 min. If not take it to the store and get set up with a plan.

You need to call the phone number provided in the activation kit to activate the SIM card first.

I apologize for the late reply but Yes, you can just activate this phone without being charged or renewing your contract.
