I believe that I had to activate it. I was porting over a number, so this involved needing to activate it.

Almost, once you receive it you need to call Verizon or go into a store to activate it. I did mine over the phone, took no more than 10 minutes.

You have to activate your Iphone first, before you can use it. You're able to activate an iPhone without a SIM card, you can find it online. And if you need to use this SIM card to activate your phone, you need to call AT&T to activate it.

Found on readysim.com web site: "On each Ready SIM card is a printed expiration date. This is the last day that you can activate your SIM card before it is permanently terminated. Most cards will expire approximately 2-3 years from the date of purchase; however, you should check the expiration date printed on your SIM card."

It does not come with a Sim card. You purchase the Sim card from your cell phone carrier.

You always have to activate a SIM, otherwise it wouldn't be in your name. It comes with a code to use already though.

It depends on what you want. If you are interested in the Sim-free, factory unlocked model, you should so specify when you are purchasing it

It is without plan, you need to activate it online. You pay for their option online and then associate it with this simcard.

I had a AT&T; phone. I took the Sims card out and put it the snapfon. I don't remember if I had to activate this phone since it was not an AT&T.; Hope this helps you.

There are instructions provided on the cover. You have to activate the SIM only via those steps. I made the mistake of activating it by calling the customer care and I lost my 39$.
