Hello Steve,

I did bring the Advantage into a corporate AT&T store (v. a reseller) to get the SIM card and have it activiated. The sales person was very nice, and loved the Advantage, but not quite sure what to do.

What happened with mine was I got a SIM card, selected a phone number, and put on only the PDA Data Plan ($35.00/mo.) I also called the AT&T 800 number to cancel any voicemail options, as I did not want ignored calls to kick to voice mail.

When I had spoken with the customer service people about the plan, prior to going to the store, they suggested I could also just go in and ask for a SIM card, and then have it activated by calling back the 800 number.

I decided to just get it all done at the store, since the person was so enthused about the Advantage.

I think you do have to go to a store at least to get a SIM card.
