you will have to have a SIM to use the phone period, the other thing you had to worry about was the service provider that was assigned to the phone (i am assuming that it is not unlocked). If you go to Cingular, they will set you up with a SIM card and phone plan and you will be on your way. Since you have a phone already, you dont have to sign a contract, but they will prolly try to charge your for the SIM. if you go to a store, you can prolly haggle a free SIM out of it if you add a high minute plan.

The phone wont work w/o a SIM because it stores your phone number, account and billing info.
