If I purchase and receive a Ready Sim but don't want to use it untils months later, is there any type of 'expiry' date?

Found on readysim.com web site: "On each Ready SIM card is a printed expiration date. This is the last day that you can activate your SIM card before it is permanently terminated. Most cards will expire approximately 2-3 years from the date of purchase; however, you should check the expiration date printed on your SIM card."

I heard from a t-mobile customer service rep that this only works if the phone has been "off the shelf" by March 2013, because T-mobile put a restriction on all prepaid phones still on the shelves at that time, to have to use prepaid SIM cards for 6 months before switching over to a post-paid plan. She said that you need to contact the seller specifically to ask if their phone will work with post-paid plans.

Not at all. I received my 4 month in July and the expiration date is for 12/2013

no just pop in your sim and use What ever plan that's available . I used prepaid and I didn't need the data but it's ok to have . It's more of a feature phone like

You can but you need to get a néw sim also. Verizon will send you one with 2 day shipping free..

It depends. Sometimes they will be bundled with free minutes. Sometimes there are minutes if you buy on Tracfone's website but not if you buy it elsewhere. It's been too long since I bought it for me to remember what deals may have been in effect (if any).

It comes with a simcard so you shouldn't have to worry about it to much. There are a few types of simcards. I believe this is a micro sim. They do not interchange.

My memory is a bit fuzzy but as I recall the answer would be yes. I know I was able to activate the card immediately but don't recall if I tried to use the phone prior to my arrival in the UK.

I purchased this phone to go with an already existing plan because I didn't want to renew a contract. I believe if you take a phone you already have in to the cell carrier that they will activate it without a contract. You will probably pay an activation fee but not 2 year contract because the phone is already paid for and then I believe you can by minutes.

As far as I know you can activate whenever you want. The plans, however, do change. What is available today may not be available next month.

Sorry, got this plan myself about 1.5 months ago, and haven't activated it yet (if I even need to activate it)

Yes, and they will not refund unused money for any reason whatsoever. Mine didn't work in Dublin. Lost about $100 which = 100% profit for this company without delivering anything other than the sim. They will tell you to keep your money, just use the card every now and then and add more to the balance as well.

Expiration The international SIM card phone number and account will expire if no outgoing usage is made for 2 years. The outgoing usage could be any of the following: Call made from the phone, SMS sent from the phone or any Data Usage.Personal Extra Numbers will stay active as long as they have been funded properly.The SIM card balance is valid for 10 months. The balance will continuously roll over to the next 10 month period provided that at least $25 is added within 10 months after the last recharge.If the balance expires, the service can still be used after a new recharge of the SIM card.

in that case you will need to buy a minute plan that will not expire before 1 year. If you buy something other than this, if your plan expires and you dont refill, the sim card will be cancelled.

Yes. I believe they must be used within 30-days. I gave up the phone because I was losing minutes/money. There are so many companies now with no contracts and very reasonable plans.

After registration with AT&T; and pre-purchase of the voice/data plan you need, you'll be able to use the phone in the US. You have no contractural commitment to AT&T;: the voice/data plan you've purchased simply expires/is consumed. I use my AT&T; number for several trips/year to the US (I have similar such SIM cards for IRL, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, France etc). With AT&T;, I typically buy a $40 voice plan and add a $5 data (1 GB plan) - the plan has a month's duration - albeit that I'm typically on the in US for 5 days at a time. Still good value! And I can keep WhatsApp and iMessage working without changing their initial registered numbers.
