When the screen says inital programing needed or w/e you can still dial. only when that screen is up though. Do not press okay, try to get that screen back, itss not that had, but you can only dial when that screen is up, just dial the number your paper tells you to

Samsung Alias shutting off

If its not the battery, it sounds like a defect. I would trade it in for another model and be done with the alias.

Where do i put in my simcard on the samsung alias?

hi thanks for using fixya!

Unfortunately, you cannot. Verizon phones have integrated SIM cards that you cannot take out. You cant unlock a verizon phone.
