Help! Just got TB - Confused about SIM??

[oardy22]

Hey guys,

Quick question, I'm a little confused. I'm currently running a Droid X, I ordered a TB on ebay. Received it today but I can't get it activated. It didn't come with the standard 4g SIM Card that you need to activate. Can I go buy a standard SIM and use that to activate? Or do I have to have the 4g Verizon SIM that is apparently required? I'm confused on this? Maybe someone can help ? I tried going to my local verizon retailer but they didn't have any in stock and told me to contact Verizon to have them send one. Am I stuck waiting until I order that 4g SIM online?

Yes you have to use the VZW SIM card. I would not have ordered it off ebay, the phone should come with a SIM card included, if it did not then you got a used phone.

You're fine with what you got. Go to a VZW store and they'll give you a new sim to activate your phone with
