Question:
My girlfriend's sister is going to be living with us for the summer and it's important to me that she have a cell phone. I have a spare Windows 8 straight talk phone that I bought for a really good price just to use as a WiFi media player for around the house and the gym. When I purchased it it already came with a Straight Talk Sim Card.
I've never activated it before, how do I got about doing this? Can I just go to Walmart and buy a $45 time card or do I need to buy one of the more expensive activation kits?
The WM employee I spoke to sounded like I needed the activation kit but I was hoping I could avoid that because I already have a sim card.
I know with VM we were able to activate phones for the first time just be having the phone, a time card and calling CSR (nothing else was required) but I'm not sure if it is the same for straight talk.
I'm hoping to get this done over the weekend so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
