T-Mobile SIM Card $1/ea FS. Max Qty 2

At checkout: "A plan is required to complete this transaction. Add a plan"

They gave me one with just $10 toward a new prepay account in the store (I don't know if there is a minimum). SIM cards should be included with any plan...

Dumb question: what do you do with one of these. Yes I know it goes in a phone but why would you buy one separately? You program them yourself? Confused.

To get T-Mobile service plan, I'm guessing some sort of pre-paid plan. The $30/mo 100min + unlimited data plan has been making the rounds on various deals forums for the past couple months.

Absolutely right. You need a NEW, fresh card to get this plan, only possible at first activation. After that, there's no way to get it.
BTW, T-Mobile IS in fact able to transfer one's old T-Mobile phone number AND the prepaid balance to a newly activated SIM card. Just done it, worked great!

Order crashes during checkout on both Adroid Browser on tablet and Google Chrome on PC. Finally checked out w/IE9. Go figure...

T-mo has rejected orders placed with 3 different credit cards using 3 different browsers.

Has anyone got it to work yet?

Thanks!

Thanks!

The one I bought says activate by 06/20/2015 so I would think you'd have plenty of time.
Cut it to fit my daughter's iphone 4 and activate on the $30 plan, works fine.

Anyone know if this is available in B&M T-Mobile stores?

I am currently in the 14th month of a 2yr contract with T-Mobile and wanted to know if it's possible to switch to a $30 per month prepaid plan that includes 100mins/talk, unlimited text&data??? OR Do I have to wait until my 2yr contact expires before I can covert to a Prepaid plan as mentioned above???
Wild guess: since you are getting out of a post-paid contract, you have to wait or pay a penalty. After all, what would keep you from switching and discontinuing service the next month?

Guys

I was reading about $30 plan prepaid plan unlimited web 100 min) it says only for new activation only. I have two phone samsung galaxy II and Iphone 4 which one is gonna work? Do I need micro sim card?

I'm going to answer my own question from before about b&m stores.

You can get a SIM from a B&M store, but you have to activate it there - they won't sell you the activation kit (which includes the all important activation code). That means you can only do it if you want one of the basic plans. For the web only you have to order the SIM online. Also the SIM purchased online comes with $3.34 of credit, the ones purchased in store don't.

Micro sim does not seem to come with any money...

Pros: 1 recharge last for 90 days

Cons: 33 cents / min for Pay-as-you-go plan which is expensive.

You can check iPhone/iPad 1900Mhz frequency coverage here. This is not a T-Mobile site, but nice people posting where they see 3G signal.

Walk into a T-Mobile store, they will give you a SIM. Never had an issue.

NICE! Thanks! I just bought 2 shipped for $2.10. What a great deal!

After 12 years with ATT, I finally ported my number to T-Mo's $30 5gig plan today. Feels good. My number I've had for 15 years is now with Google Voice (well, my number was ported to Google Voice anyway). I have it forever, regardless of carrier. That's great.

My Nexus 4 is the best. T-Mobile and internet calling wins!

I don't think so. Will try asking a friend in FL if I can send it there, 99c to TMo plus 45c for the friend to mail it to NY or VT is still cheaper than $2.50 on Amazon Marketplace, though it's getting up there. If that doesn't work maybe I'll just buy one on Amzn (was going to get 2 in case I need to set up a friend).
