If I use Virgin or AT&amp;T service do I need to activate it here in Canada and also once I get in Europe?

It's already locked into Virgin Mobile, so NO it's not unlocked, but you can use it with Virgin Mobile once you activate it.

After registration with AT&T and pre-purchase of the voice/data plan you need, you'll be able to use the phone in the US. You have no contractural commitment to AT&T: the voice/data plan you've purchased simply expires/is consumed. I use my AT&T number for several trips/year to the US (I have similar such SIM cards for IRL, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, France etc). With AT&T, I typically buy a $40 voice plan and add a $5 data (1 GB plan) - the plan has a month's duration - albeit that I'm typically on the in US for 5 days at a time. Still good value! And I can keep WhatsApp and iMessage working without changing their initial registered numbers.

If you have an international plan w/roaming w/your service provider -- your device should work anywhere across the country... If your device has been unlocked, you may need to buy a sim card in these countries for the use of any network provided. Best thing to do is to call your wireless service provider.

You should buy this sim when your about to come to us and once you receive it we will activate for you it's a month service

When I cam home to the US I purchased my sim from AT&T. It works great. I was using it in Brazil and using a TIM sim.

I am not familiar with Virgin mobile, but I bought 2 phones and those were for my family over seas, one is using it on South America and the other is using it on Europe. So, I think since they are unlock it means you can use it with which ever mobile company you want to use.

What I would suggest is talk to your provider to make sure you can have it unlocked and use it at the place where you use it.

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.

I've had this phone for quite a while and have not had problems with an att sim card or one card that I use when I go to Europe. It may be a t-mobile issue. With one of our other unlocked phones (an ATZ) we had to buy a special sim card from net zero for it to work. I hope this helps. This has been a great phone for me. I like it better than the 'smart' phone I have in terms of battery life and voice clarity.

As long as it is a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) phone, it will work in a number of countries, including Europe which includes Spain and Portugal. However unless you have an international calling plan with international roaming included, you will pay a lot of money in roaming fees. I know that AT&T; and T-Mobile have many worldwide roaming contracts, so if you have AT&T;, it should work fine. You can always call AT&T; customer service and get an idea of what your roaming charges might be. I believe you dial 611 on your phone. Hope this helps.

I activated mine in the USA. I don't see any point in using it in the USA as the calls would be very expensive. You might be able to send a text to test it out though if that's why you'd want to use it straight away.

If the carrier uses GSM network (a SIM card for service activation) it SHOULD work for you. I have successfully used it in the UK and Spain by simply purchasing a pre-paid SIM card from a local provider. I have not attempted to use my US service on it while traveling simply due to cost. I hope this helps.

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

Hey sorry for the late reply. You can activate the sim card in another country but you have to have T-mobile service.

Yes. Just plug it in and call your internet provider to have it activated on your account :)
