    4G SIM Card Question

    Does anyone know if I can purchase the Nexus and activate it myself (from home) with my bionic SIM card - I'd like to get in and out asap and don't want a sales rep rifling around with my new phone, I know we're able to do this with 3G phones but not sure if the same rings true with SIM cards

    Thanks

    I *think* the Gnex is like the Razr and has a micro-sim instead of a normal sim - so if that's the case, no.

    Yeah, the Bionic has the big one - looks like someone else gets to handle my phone first

    Actually they program the sim card so just take it home and put it in yourself. Then power up the new phone and you are good to go!

    yeah go to Target (Radio Shack) or Best Buy and buy one ($10 or $20 respectively at each place) and you can do it yourself... I don't think the VZW store will let you walk out with one without activating it, at least for free

    Do not dial 228! Just put the sim in and fire it up! It will activate itself.
