If you don't want the $30 a month plan, then yes, you can do just that and have them set you up.
Otherwise, you need to either purchase the SIM Card kit online or go to Walmart and buy one and activate that plan yourself. It's really not difficult at all.
My sprint contract is up in May and I want to switch carriers. This phone + TMobile is very tempting. It looks like their $50 plan is practically as good as my $90 plan on Sprint! Plus they offer $300 to trade in your old device when you're switching carriers.
Am I missing anything or is this a no-brainer? Old phone is a 4s btw.
Only problem is the 5.5" size but I'd get over it.

You guys will be very happy leaving Sprint. I did last year after putting up with so many years of their bullshit promises, slow internet speeds, missed calls, and texts that arrived hours later. Now I can actually use a smart phone like a smart phone. I want this phone, but if I can't get it until August I'll just wait for the next Nexus or new flagship.

Is there any information at all about the digitizer in this phone?

should work fine on AT&T right?
Yes, it's a TOL (Touch On Lens) display which means there in no display between the actual LCD display and the touch sensor.
Yes it does.
I took the opportunity and added the bands the phone works on in the OP because too many people were asking the same question. Just Google your carrier and see what bands they use.
That's a great idea. I'd like to be on the list.

That's a really good idea. Please add me to this list!
I'm at work so it's really hard to keep refreshing for a new thread, haha.
Me too!

I get the sense that most people complaining about the size wouldn't buy a Note 3 either.
It's okay to not like phablets.
I have to replace my phone this year.
I was going for a Z2 but this changes things.
Anyone know when we can expect reviews ?
If there is any list put me on it

Im I the only one that this whole "invite" system doesn't sit well with? This is a new company, with a new and unproven phone, that essentially want people to beg to buy it?
Yes it is running cyanogen mod, yes it is digustingly cheap, yes it is a slick looking device.
But Its going to be very limited availability to test, Its coming from a company that isn't established in the west so customer service is going to be a nightmare and its a new entry in an extremely crowded market.
The idea of begging for the opportunity to pay to become a beta tester is mind boggling to me.

Sounds like FUD

FUD? Look dude, there is a lot here to take at face value. Anyway, Im still going to give this a go, I do like what I see, but I still think there is someone wrong the way OneplusOne is going about this.
USB cable costs like a dollar and you almost always get cheap nasty headphones anyway. Is that a dealbreaker? I mean this phone is $299 so you have to expect corners to be cut.
If you want to spend more on better products/packages then that's what the flagships are for.
Not a deal breaker for me, might be for some people, that's why I mentioned it.
To be fair, OEM cables are usually the best ones in my experience. Every charging cable (thicker than $1 normal USB) aren't as durable as the one that came with my G2.

Thank god they're purchasable. My old microUSB from my BlackBerry Bold (Which predates me having a Windows 7 Phone) is still ticking and strong. I've bought multiples but not one has broken yet.
Do you know what kind of markup the big guys put on their phones? They're not that expensive to produce.
Exactly, the Galaxy S5 only cost $256 to manufacture.
But, keep in mind that this has little to no advertising, and will be very, very, scarce. Probably affects the price too.
I know, I know. I said a little bit. Samsung, Foxconn... the standards are already not high.

I have an HTC One on contract with AT&T, if I wanted this all I'd have to do would be to move my SIM over to it? Would I need to call customer support or something too? Looking at prices on eBay... Geeze, selling my good-condition HTC One would nearly cover the whole cost of the... OnePlus One.
...What's with the number one these days?
