No!  The card does not have to be active!  It can be a non-working sim card.

Absolutely, all you need is an active sim card, wherever you get it from.

Hi Alex, 

You're correct. It's a PITA. However, some people have purchased a sim card
from TMobile for about $10. It's a pay as you go card just to  activate the
phone. 

Cheers,
Eileen
