Can I just buy a sim card?
I'm about to buy a LG VL600 4G from a local seller for my mobile broadband.
The problem is the seller does not have the SIM card with it.
Can I just walk into a Verizon and buy the SIM card? If so, how much?
This can' t be correct RoyB_VZW.
I just recently activated a Nexus purchased from a third-party on my active phone line (Thunderbolt). I walked into a corporate store and asked for a new 4G LTE SIM card since the Nexus has a different sized SIM. I was not charged for the card and the store rep were happy to help me. The rep activated both the SIM and the phone in store.
As 4G LTE devices are more in the field, more people will be able to purchase them from thurd parties and will need to start a new service and will require a new SIM card in the process.
It should work similar as if a person tried to activate the device throught their online My Verizon account. There is a page in the activation process that asks you if a new SIM card is needed and Verizon will mail one out to the customer.
I was to impatient to wait for the mailing of a new SIM card so I didn't complete the activation of the Nexus online and went to a store instead.

Can i just buy a gift card code instead of the physical card
can i just buy a gift card code instead of the physical card, since i live outside the us ???, if so how would we do the transaction ?? thanks
Hi there OmarMancilla,
You should have the ability to buy E-Gift Cards on BestBuy.com, which would be quite similar to a physical gift card, but in a digital version. You may check them out here. If you are an international customer, you would want to follow the instructions here for placing your order.
Please let me know if you should have any questions!
Sincerely,

I have a iphone 5 ,can i use it as a ipod like just buy a sim and have no plan?
i have a iphone 5 ,can i use it as a ipod ,like just buy a sim card and put it in to activate the phone with no plan?
I'm fairly certain you can do this. I traded my iPhone 5 for an iPhone 5S. When doing that, the Apple Store moved my service, leaving my iPhone 5 with a non-working SIM card. Indeed, it did behave as an iPod would.

My iphone4 was crunched can I buy just a new sim card?
My Iphone 4 was run over. I have an old Iphone3. Can I just buy a new sim card and use the old one?
Yes, you can. You will need to go to your carrier and get a new sim card for a 3G in the store. Do you still have the iPhone 4? I would be interested in possibly buying it. [email protected]

My iPhone5 is model A1429.
I purchased it through Verizon within the last 9 months.
Can I just buy a new sim card and replace the Verizon one while I am in Europe for 25 days?After 10 days in Scandinavia, this is what I have learned:
1.) getting the mini or nano sim has been impossible _ in Sweden, Norway and Denmark the carriers I worked with have the old sim cards that they suggest that you trim down to nano size. The one I tried was still too thick to fit in the sim card drawer on my iphone 5.
2.) Verizon was very cooperative and unlocked my phone before I left the USA.
3.) The Verizon plan may be competitive with plans that cover multiple countries in Europe. The pricing is sufficiently confusing that providers are hard to compare, ie. initial plan / sim card purchase amout, voice, data, text send / receive rates, varying monthly or package amounts of mintes and data allowances.
4.) Keeping cellular data off, using wi-fi has mostly kept cellular data usage low, with a few exceptions resulting from data use for either google or i maps and a probable butt-call or mistaken program left on without wi-fi.
5.) I am still going to check out France's rate, but I won't report more if the story stays the same.
Good luck out there.
Thank you to all that responded. Even though the information did not help resolve the problem it gave us traction. -
I have restored the settings on my iphone and now after entering the pin on my sim card it wants me to connect it to iTunes but when i try it just says my sim card is not supported... what can i do now? It worked fine before...

it says 'your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached'
Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here. -

Can I buy a Sim card and use my phone? Is it easy to change the card?
Any ideia how much will cost? Can I still use my phone to face time with
my family here if I change the Sim card? ThanksIf you're talking about "regular" icloud, then setting it up should have no effect on your music. Try syncing the device to iTunes and check the music settings and sync again.
If you subscribe to iTunes Match, is the device in wifi range? -
If I get my iphone unlocked can I buy a sim card in Spain and then use it there and get free 3g access
No. You can't activate any iPhone without a sim card installed. The sim card itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. Since you updated the software, the phone requires re-activation, thus you need a sim card. You can borrow one from someone, but bottom line, you need a sim card.

If I buy a Canadian iPhone can I use a British SIM card I.e. O2
If I buy a Canadian iPhone can I use a British SIM card I.e. O2
You must get an unlocked phone from Apple. You will not have access to 4G or LTE systems. Your warranty will only be valid in Canada. You will have to pay any import or duty fees. Why not buy a phone in Britain?
