Unlocked Phone activation


If I have an unlocked (Nokia direct) phone, how do I go about getting a sim card for it? What will the activation process be like? Will I be able to do it over the phone/internet or will an ATT store have to have the phone and do something to it?

Go to your nearest store, tell them you want to activate a plan, pick the plan and they will give you a sim card.

Will they want to flash my phone with the ATT firmware?

nope...they don't even have to see your phone, just ask for the activated sim and go.

Re: Unlocked Phone activation


Thanks. One last question. I was wondering if there were in Cons of using an unlocked phone versus using an ATT phone. What are they?
