As as I know the Simm card is what gives you the #. Once you have it and charge the phone you can make calls as long as you have purchased some air time from a cellular service in London and/or Germany

Yes, you need a sim card. I purchased a sim card in the US that has British number and the US. When sim inserted and phone is "on" the sim gets activated and you can call. I believe it's better to buy a sim card in Europe when you get there. The sim I bought in the US does not work as well as I wanted it to.

The phone number is the SIM card. Without it your phone will not be able to connect to any wireless provider. That is how GSM works. Verizon is CDMA and that works by identifying the device to work on their network. With GSM it's the sim that's identified so that your device will work. That's why you can swap a sim into any unlocked GSM phone and it will work.

Hi Julia! The activation for this sim is done online from the Simple Mobile website. It will ask you to enter the sim card number, which is a long number located on the back of the card, and you will choose the pre-paid plan that you want. After that it will ask for your credit card info to pay for the plan. I believe it will also help you register for a Simple Mobile online account during the first-time activation process. You can either manually pay monthly, or enroll in automatic billing, which Simple Mobile calls "Auto Re-Up." If you choose to do it manually, you will need to "Re-Up" from the Simple Mobile website each month by signing in to your account and paying from there. They will send out text reminders when your pre-paid month is about to end so that you don't forget. The process is quite easy, and if you have any issues, don't hesitate to call their help line. I've only had to call them a few times, but each time the customer service people were very helpful. As far as the Nokia phone goes, this sim should work if your phone has the correct sim card slot. There are 3 common sim card sizes: mini-SIM, micro-SIM, and nano-SIM. The nano-SIM is only found on iPhones, so you don't have to worry about that. Micro-SIM cards are used in many of the newer models of phones, particularly high-end phones like the Samsung Galaxy S series, etc. This Simple Mobile kit comes with a mini-SIM, which is actually the largest of the three, even though the name says "mini" in it. Your phone's manual should have the information you need regarding the sim card size that is required, and if you don't have it, you can also search for your phone model on websites such as GSMArena or PhoneArena. There are Simple Mobile starter kits available with micro-SIM cards, should you require that instead. Good luck!

You cannot, at least not with a new SIM. The very first time it connects with the network needs to be in Germany on the Ortel network. If you need to use a SIM before you arrive, call Cellular Abroad and ask them to send you a used one. Be aware that you will be roaming and the rates are higher than if you were in Germany.

It did not work in the the blu phone that amazon sold with it, and by the time I got home 30 days were up and amazon would not give a refund. In Germany I went to a E-plus store and bought a new bluworld sim card 9.90E W/500 min.call time which did not work in the amazon phone. The E-plus store sent to a cheap phone store around the corner and they sold me a Samsung GT-E1081T phone unlocked that worked fine in Germany and Austria I think it cost less than 25.00E

I didn't experienced any problems recharging the minutes of the sim card when I was in the 10 countries in Europe. I just dial the special number + the amount you want to buy for the minutes + plus the 4 digits of your credit card that your registered in the onesimcard website.

Hope this help. I bought a magic jack at Amazon everything was well until I try to register, the one they send was already registered I return it back to Amazon. Then I went to Best Buy and buy another I registered it and use my phone number that I have for years. At today I don't have any problem, so I recommend for the person who want to save money. I use for local call NY. you can buy or add additional for international calls.

Hi Cherie, I'm Harold. When I bought mine it was unlocked already. I did nothing but than take it out of the box and called Page Plus and gave them the EIN number and activated it. No SIM card is required. My phhone just recently stopped charging so I dumped it and bought a Samsung GS4. I had it flashed to Page Plus and it did not require a sim card either. Hope that helped. If you need anything else you can call me at 620-214-9148. I will be flashing phones in about 2 more weeks as well. Good luck

I did the update a couple of weeks ago - I checked the OS version number for the 810 WP8 GDR 2 is 8.0.10327.77 (the 920 has a different build number supposedly) - I DID check the following link and my 810 specifically indicates LUMINA AMBER in nice Amber text....NOTE - obviously the specifics of the update are relative to the specific phone... GREAT phone - The box was sealed - VERY happy - it isn't a tiny phone... and there is a fairly large 'frame' area outside the screen (in relative terms), but being able to add a microSD and having removable battery.... KEY for me. The 8Gb for app storage is plenty unless you like a lot of crap and games on your phone - I am not sure if the AMBER allows you to move maps to the SD (I heard it was being talked about - cannot verify right now) - of course the camera isn't 'bad' but if you want a good picture of anything you'll want a lens larger than an M&M and a real image sensor....a REAL camera ;-) http://www.nokia.com/ca-en/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA142009 I edited this - the wake on tap IS working - and so is GLANCE screen...(including peek - which shows info by just waving your hand over the screen) - I am sure there is more I missed since I installed the update and didn't really look at the changes until JUST now :-)

Certainly. Being able to use the phone depends on the SIM card you put in it, not the phone itself. I have been using this BLU phone all over Europe without any problem.

I called today, and the same answer. They "expect" the item on 25th... but so far they havn't heard from Nokia yet. :(

You should have received a SIM card. You may want to look through all of the contents because it's tiny. Once you have that, you can contact Verizon or follow the link provided to activate it online.

I purchased a SIM card through lycamobile and my phone worked in Ireland and Honduras. I have a pay as you go plan. You can check with them and see if they service where you are going

Hi Antony, I went to T-Mobile bought a SIM card and had it activated it in the store. Also beware of the speaker on this watch phone is not the greatest but what could one expect. Also the charger cord has a USB end and a unknown end which means its hard to find a replacement charging cable.

ying if you already have phone with a simcard all you would have to do is transfer youre simcard from youre phone to the blu unlocked phone thats the beauty of it if you do not have a phone with a simcard. all you have to do is go to cell phone provider. aio.and get service from them . i did and walla it was working just like that.. but before i did that i already had service with airvoice wireles using there simcard on my old phone so wen i got my blu dash phone i tried my simcard from airvoice wireles and itttt worked. i use at&t towers. or team movil towers so the signal is good for me. hope this was helpfull. you can go to airvoice wireles.com and you can get there simcard service even on line just followed there steps. thats who i found to be the sheapest. they got a 10 dollar plan a 30 dollar plan and a 45 dollar plan and wen they tell you wish on you want thats what you pay no surprises. but as far as the blu dash it works beautifull....

I assume you are in USA. In UK I just put in sim card as it was bought as sim free. Phone makers are based in Austria so it's probably a USA/Europe incompatablity problem.

Are you using the carrier on the SIM card? Right side up? Damaged? Do you have it in slot 1 or 2? That is all I can think of. Good luck. You can call BLU direct. They are great at helping. Google the nmbr.
