Interesting about Verizon. When I did the deal with T-Mobile last week, or maybe it was two weeks ago, I got a Sim card from them. They explained that once I got my phone, I had the choice of putting this new one in, or using one that should already be in the phone. But I gathered that the one in the phone of course would not be programmed. Who knows? I guess I'll find out when I get my phone. This may require another trip to the T-Mobile store. Mary
