New user with apparently old 1208, already activated? | Technical service details | Consumer forum

I just bought a 1208 late last night based on lots of great information on this website and forum. I had to call around to find a store that had 1208s and I found one store with two, though when I got there, the clerk checked the box for the first one and it was missing parts, so luckily there was a second one. Anyway, based on what I have read here, I have old stock as it appears to be activated out of the box. The blue "Welcome to SpeakOut Wireless" card enclosed has a sticker on it reading:

... Your airtime balance is now upgraded to 365 days expiration. Enjoy!

Your mobile phone number is: ##########

Voicemail passcode: #####

PIN is found on the printed side of the--

And there it cuts off! I assume that this refers to the PIN on my $100 voucher which I also bought but have not yet activated. Do I have to do anything else to activate the phone itself or can I just start dialing? The only reason I haven't tried to yet is I'm not sure if that would invalidate the referral code deal, ie. do I have to phone in the referral code before I make my first call?

Thanks everyone for all of the helpful info on this site. I've put off getting a phone for a long time because it's such an expensive pain in the butt for the amount I would use it for, but this seems like just the thing.
