I have never preordered a phone before. I always go into the store to buy them. I preordered two Verizon Note 8s through Best Buy a couple of days ago. Will these phones come with SIM cards, or do I just use the ones that are in our Note 4s?

I'd just use the simcard you already have. Save yourself the time of calling to activate the new ones.

youll need a nano sim, usually the carrier branded versions come with the carrier specific sim card. I have tmobile and they always had a simcard sealed in the box. I used to Verizon and they did the same with my note 2, note 3, s3, s4, s5. I would look for a Verizon s8 unboxing video to see if it has a sim. chances are if the Verizon s8 came with one, the Verizon note 8 will too

Verizon note 8 arrived by FedEx today at 5pm fulfilling the Verizon pre-order a full ten days early as was reported over the weekend as it was probable to be early.... and yes it comes fully equipped with new SIM even though I just used my SIM out of my replaced device......I must say this is a beast of a phone. I carry two devices, one for business and one personnel, one T-Mobile and the other VZW, as where one works the other doesn't and vice versa...My GSM device is my trusty Note 4 that I've absolutely loved since day one and still use constantly for everything( it even got better after Google Assistant) and now this beautiful note 8 as a replacement for my htc10...I must say after playing around with it for a couple hours I really believe Samsung has finally replaced the Note 4, this captures the same note experience that all of the Note users so heavily love and depend and have made it a thousand times slicker and smarter.... now if we get some root love this will certainly be one ill carry for years like my beloved 4....

If the phone comes with a sim, does this mean that it is already attached to a phone number? I ordered two of these - one for me and one for my wife. I always let her choose the one that she wants and then I take the one that she didn't choose.
