Do Nokia phones need a SIM card?
Some Nokia cell phones do require a SIM card to function. This will depend on the service carrier associated with the particular model of the phone. Generally, Nokia devices attached to AT&T or T-Mobile (GSM) service will need a SIM card. You will need to check the manufacturers specifications to determine what size SIM card is compatible. Phones that use CDMA service, such as Verizon or Sprint, will not need a SIM card. Be aware that you cannot use a SIM card with a CDMA phone, even if it is unlocked.
What operating systems are used on Nokia phones?
Depending on the model, a Nokia cell phone may run either Windows Mobile OS or a version of Android. Old Nokia phones like the Nokia 8110 may run alternate operating systems such as KaiOS.
