Addituinal notes:
When setting up AT&T prepaid, at one point you need to insert the SIM
into your handset in order to receive a confirmation code (your login
password).
I know this process works while the handset is in Canada. Even though
service is not yet activated on this SIM, the SIM can still receive SMS
from AT&T via the Rogers network. I *assume* this would work from other
countries as well but can't garantee. Rogers and AT&T tend to have
fairly compatible and very "connected" systems for roaming as AT&T
Wireless(original company) used to own a big chunk of Rogers Wireless.
(this step is required for you to login to your new account, deposit
funds via credit card and choose your package).
