When I got my N900, I just swapped the SIM. Worked exactly as I expected. Better, even, as it had the APN data already.
So, were you with AT&T already?

Is that how you get the n900 to work as a phone - by switching the SIM card?

Are you saying that I shouldn't involve AT&T at all with this? I can believe it since the two customer service reps I talked to today (one national & one local - the local one getting rude when I said something about an unlocked phone) were no help.

Sorry, I'm totally new to the whole unlocked phone thing.
