You can activate over the phone anywhere by just using the SIM and the access code.

I believe you can. Take the phone back into to mobile section and talk to an employee there. If you didn't buy on of these cards (or another prepaid card for a different amount/plan), you will need to buy one. If your phone doesn't have a SIM card they will need to put one in. 

Another option, and possibly a better one, is to go to another Best Buy, if you are near one, or an AT&T store. Another resource is the AT&T prepaid customer service line at 1 (800) 901-9878.
