Can I activate this phone straight out of the box under my current verizon account? Or do I need to go to verizon and purchase a SIM card?

The phone is ready to activate, but you will need to provide a Verizon SIM. Verizon will provide one to you if you are a current or new Verizon customer. Thanks!

You don't need to go to Verizon. The Phone is Unlock. You can use any carrier.

You will need a SIM card that is compatible with this phone. You should be able to obtain a SIM card free of charge from Verizon. If your existing sim is compatible, you may be able to use that as well

Thank you for contacting Customer Support. Yes, this iPhone 5C is ready for activation on a current or new account.

No it won't. Verizon won't activate it because it's not a Verizon brand phone. I bought this and it's still in the box because they wouldn't do it. AT&T however will send you a sim card for it, with your same number, and get much better phone service and customer service. It's worth it to switch!

If you have an existing Verizon plan already, activating the new phone is quite simple. All you need to do is call *228 and press 1 for activate, from there just follow the prompts. You can also go to any Verizon store and they can activate the phone for you as well as transfer all of your contacts over to the new phone.

Hi, you have to go to a Verizon Corporate store, they will give you the SIM. Retail dealers will charge you for the SIM card and activation. Found out the hard way.

Yes it comes unlocked and to activate it on Verizon network all you have to do is buy a Verizon Sim card.

This phone did not come with a sim card. It is for the Verizon network. To active the new phone:1. Enter *228 and press send. 2. Select option 13. Enter your cell number4. Enter your passwordThe phone will then activate to the number used on your old phone.

I believe it can be activated through any cell phone network. Call Verizon to be sure...

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.

I activated mine. I had to take it to verizon and get a SIM card though. The fee for the card is $5.00. If you have the same phone already just slide the sim card out from above the battery in the back of the previous one and replace in new phone and turn on. Everythg should just transfer over.

I should already be "unlocked". You probably need a service provider to send you a SIM card so you can activate it.

I think you have to buy a sim card... actually with Verizon accounts, that is included upon activation, so you don't actually pay separately for it. I LOVED this phone but hated Verizon. I would still be using it if I could put up with them!

I just confirmed with Verizon that I can activate this phone on my existing line without it affecting my account in any way. I do not have to use it as a prepaid phone. I can use it with my current plan.

You can do it yourself from home, go to Verizon website, and it tell you how to activate. That's how I did mine. It took five minutes.
