I just bought $100 airtime and got a free phone. I moved my old sim to the new phone and the new sim to the old phone. When I turn on the old phone it says "SIM registration failed". Do I have to phone in from a hardline and activate the SIM? Or is do I have a problem? When I first bought my phone it worked right out of the box.

Yes, you have to activate it now. It used to work right out of the box, but things changed a bit. You activation card with instructions should have been included in the box. Here's a copy and paste from the official SpeakOut site:

How do I activate my new SpeakOut Wireless Phone?

Simply follow the 4 Step instructions on your activation card, located inside your SpeakOut Wireless phone box. You'll also need your 7 digit activation code and 5 digit Store # that is printed on the blue "Welcome to SpeakOut Wireless" quick start guide."
