if you buy it from a phone store, probably yes, if off ebay, no. but pay-as-yo-go sim cards are free most of the time, so dont worry.
Apple don't provide a sim card the networks do. If the iPhone was bought from a network shop they'd have likely to have locked it to that network and give a sim for that network.
Your simm card has come loose
Well, yeah. No one can stop you from buying it when you don't have a phone. That is, unless you are buying it directly from the carriers.
the phone should come with a sim card which is to a specific network, if you don't have a sim card you can go to a phone shop and buy one. It should be about $5 or £3 for one.
When you buy it, it doesn't come with a sim card, but there's a place to insert one on the side. :)
The sim card.
it does not have a sim card.
Put the SIM card from the new phone into the old one. Copy the contacts from the old phone's memory to the SIM card. Put the SIM car back in the new phone - then - either copy the contacts to the new phone's memory - or leave them on the SIM card. Either way - the new phone will find them.
Cricket Communications uses CDMA, so their phones do not have SIM cards.
no actually not the phone companies its the sim card company
A SIM free phone is one that does not have a SIM card included with the phone. This type of phone may not be able to be used with all networks. Some networks require a SIM card.
There are a couple of ways to know whether your phone uses a SIM card. 1. If you know who the service provider is for your phone, and it happens to be either AT&T, or T-Mobiles, then your phone does have a SIM card. 2. You could open the back of your phone and look carefully to see if you see a SIM card. If you do not see a SIM card, then gently remove the battery from it's compartment and look under the battery. If you see a SIM card, then your phone does use a SIM card.
