Hi guys=]
my carrier is nextel, and I was intrested in buying a cell phone from ebay,nextel said it's ok to buy one from some one else just be sure it has a sim card. What is a sim card? and has any one ever bought a cell phone with no sim card off of ebay? was it still able to activate?

I just bought a samsung phone without a sim card last week.
When I got it I just put my sim card in it and it works just fine.
You need to buy a phone that's already locked into the Nextel system. You can also get a phone that's been unlocked.
I found that unlocked phones cost alot of money, so I just bought a T-mobile phone without a sim card since I already have a sim card (I bustified my phone, but the sim card was fine).

when you got your first phone it came with a sim card. if you buy a phone off ebay from the same carrier, then take the sim card out of the old phone and put it in the new phone.

a sim card is the little card under the battery that the wireless carrier programs info into
