Don't go with Net10; they cheated us even when you get unlimited and they cut your data after you reach ~2GB. I don't think I even use 1GB, and our phone got cut off every time. We use to have 4 phone with them, but cancel after three months. I stay away from Net10. what you have there ($50 Net10 refill) is not a SIM; you need a SIM with Net10 also.

Yes you need to buy unlimited plan. They have many options now if you look online. I currently have 3 phones with Net10. A Samsung Note 3, IPhone 4s and a regular Net10 phone. I never have any issues. You need to see if you have service in your area. I'm running on the At&t; network and live in South Jersey. I swear by this company. I have been using them for over 4 years. I get unlimited data upto 2.5 gb and never have gone over our had an issue. They will throttle back your speed after 2.5gb. If you'd like you can email me at rdh1995@gmail.com if you need some help. You need to know the type of phone your going to be using is GSM or CDMA. Yes you need to buy unlimited plan. They have many options now if you look online. I currently have 3 phones with Net10.

You need an aircard that you get through a wireless provider. I suggest any of the MiFi cards that Verizon or AT&T; carry.

Yes, you will need a full-size SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile (or one of their MVNOs).

I first used my AirVoice Sim with the 250 min plan but upgraded shortly thereafter as that plan was unsuitable to my needs. To activate, go to AirVoice's website and follow instructions, it's simple and user friendly.

Hi First you have to have a plan by AT&T; or T-Mobile or Verizon. You can only use one of their sim cards. Check your plan first.

No SIM cards are usually not included, you have to get a SIM card from your carrier.

Yes you can. You just need a micro sim which can be provided by any of the carriers there.

I am a 65 yr old grandmother, so I am not hi-tech, but I have had a tracfone since 1998, and have never seen airtime cards that do not include either 90 days or one year, depending on cost. I mean, as long as you need both airtime and days of service, why not get them both at once? When one runs out before the other, and you renew, whatever you had left over is added to the new purchase. And if you buy a new phone, as long as it is a tracfone, you keep your number and whatever airtime or days you had left can be transferred onto your new phone.

Yes you need a SIM card. I would buy a new SIM card from your carrier. Be advised I could not get it to work with ATT nor in the Caribbean.

Yes. I am using this SIM card with the air voice 250 minutes plan. It can be activated at airvoicewireless.com

No, you just need one. :) It has a spot for two SIM cards but you only need one. I was confused about that as well.

It is without plan, you need to activate it online. You pay for their option online and then associate it with this simcard.

You can either purchase a prepaid plan from many of the providers such as T-Mobile or AT&T or if you prefer to use a more diverse one such as Tracfone or Net10 then you would have to go to their webpage and get the info from there or simply visit a local retailer that carries the company products/services/ how to use the minutes. when you first purchase a prepaid plan ( either from AT&T or T-mobile) you can use the starter kits ( you may have to ask about those for prepaid services ) the directions are usually in the box. Either you can purchase airtime/minutes with a debit/credit/check card or by a card and add the appropriate amount of minutes you will need or want for a specific time frame. for prepaid cards - first purchase the card at a local provider or you could do so through walmart.com i've made many purchases through them with prepaid cards. It takes a few hours for the pin number to show up in your email. You will follow the instructions that comes with the box, either you can call the 1-800 number and add the airtime there or use the webpage of the service provider ( such as AT&T or T-Mobile) and follow the necessary steps but make sure you are under the prepaid section once on the webpage or it will not work properly. Then you should receive a message (free of charge if with T-Mobile from my experience) stating you've successfully added airtime to your device. Enjoy!

Yes, you need a sim card. I purchased a sim card in the US that has British number and the US. When sim inserted and phone is "on" the sim gets activated and you can call. I believe it's better to buy a sim card in Europe when you get there. The sim I bought in the US does not work as well as I wanted it to.

nope, All you have to do is to get a simcard, and activate it online. This seller will send you the codes right away. ;) Good luck
