Default It isn't the question but the way its asked.

That depends on what you intend to do with it. For most users, no.

That's not a stupid question. You need a sim card to use it in the US as well.

This is a Verizon phone and Verizon has never used sim cards because they are CDMA. The sim card slot is for GSM signals in other countries, since US based GSM providers like at&t and t-mobile are blocked on this.
