It is just a misleading advertisement. This phone is an unlocked phone. So, no activation is needed. You just insert your own SIM card, and the phone works per your own cell phone plan. Do not pay attention to the "with activation" thing. Best Buy should not put it there when the cell phone is an unlocked one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.With activation means if you open a new account with one of the carriers, then the price is as shown. If you already have a sim card and account, add $25 to the price.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later."with activation" means you get a discounted price on the phone if you activate with a specific carrier. In my experience, if you don't buy with activation, expect to pay about $60 more for the phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We justs moved out T-Mobile SIM card over and we can use the phone. I think that means you cannot make calls without using a wireless provider or putting in an active SIM card. You don’t need a different plan with this option
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure about compatibility but "activation today" means activating it with one of select carriers which the site mentions somewhere. Can't recall which carriers off the top of my head.
