Yes if it your frist phone and you are not transferring you mintues and numbers from one phone to the next and you only get Ten mintues it will however double the mintues you buy and add to the phone like if you buy a 60 min card for $20 you get 120 mintues for the life of your phone

CCM and Carvalho are right. The Red activation card is very helpful, Having the Serial Number ready, there are free minutes for you to activate the phone, once you get your phone number, add air time to the phone.

No, you don't have to activate it to use features other than calling. It will prompt for activation the first time it's turned on but this can be bypassed.

My phone did not come with any minutes. But when you call tracfone to get the phone activated, they do give you 10 minutes for start. You have to buy airtime minutes and once you get them activated to your phone, it automatically gives you triple minutes. EX; If you buy 60 minutes, you will receive 180 mins to your phone. And you will get 90 days of service. They have all kinds of airtime minutes you can buy. Go to tracfone and give them a call. This phone is great, I love it. My husband bought one like it after he seen mine. No contracts, you can control your own price and these phones work all over this country. Gets great reception and the phone I ordered came with a 2mb card inside for xtra space for music & pictures. Most of their phones don't have the cards. This phone is absolutely worth the buy, and the triple minutes adds icing to the cake. The touch screens are so fun and easy to use.

No, this SIM card does not come with minutes or data quota. You must visit h2owireless.com website and activate your card, choose plan and top it up.

I do not know. I've never tried to use prepaid minutes with this phone. I have T-mobile.

No, it does not come with minutes. You must buy them through Tracfone. Once you pay they will give you a number, which is keyed into the phone.

Yes, you will get a new phone number after activation. Also you can transfer your current number to this sim. You can add $ on its website.

It came with 20 minutes free for activation, but we use the 40 minutes/3 month option with double-minutes to get 80 minutes (19.99). It has been all I need. You will need to set up an account though and keep it active or you will lose the number. Mine has cost me about 6-7 bucks per month.

Well, I didn't, when I first purchased mine. But I had to buy my minutes from Verizon. Worked quite well for a time; but now, since I quit using so many minutes, Verizon has arbitrarily (VERIZON HAS), change me to a "contract" basis and I have had no luck purchasing minutes like I used to. I call that a really bad business decision. So I agree with the folks that call it a "rip off". I spent over an hour on the phone with Verizon and the results = No Minutes available. Rip Off City!!!

You can activate the $30 and 100 minutes plan online thru Tmobile when you get your phone. I did it. No problems.

Yes...Tracfone offers a choice of phones & they come with 'start up' minutes. Make sure you get the 'triple minutes' program...that way each time you purchase additional minutes cards, you get 3 times the stated amount...200 minutes card gets you 600 minutes, etc!

I think so. It has been less than the year I signed up for, but I believe any unused minutes do carry forward. I just have to add time/service once the initial 365 days of service expire.

you can go to t mobile support and ask them. but so long as it is not a phone where you have to buy minutes in advance, it should work

You pay the charge to activate phone. I bought this phone for my niece & added her to my plan.
