I actually went into a TMo store today before going to the gym, to switch from ATT and check out the $10 internet plan (with the 500 talk for $29/mo). I purposely left my phone in the car, so when they asked for it I said I didn't have it with me, that it was an old Nokia, which later made them scan another cell box for activation. I got so excited - how easy it was, that I didnt even go to the gym but drove back home to config the internet - and WOW! I have a super cheap unlimited 3-f__ken-G!!!!!!!!!!!! I went for a workout right after and now I can listen to internet radio stream, instead of the stupid crap they play at the gym. That sonovab!+ch KELLY - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is, that's what I have. Just drop in you sim, charge the phone up and connect to AT&T and you are ready to go. I must say though that I saw a lot of charges start to appear as if out of nowhere. No nig charges but small charges usually in the 1 to 2 dollar range. I would pick up my phone to make a call, swipe it on and there would be a message "The last transaction cost $x.xx." The thing was that I hadn't used the phone since my last call and I had already seen the msg about how much that call had cost me. I ended up putting my sim back in my Samsung dumb phone. However that isn't a problem with the phone. The phone worked great, good quality sound, beautiful display, easy to use and set up. All of those small unknown charges came from AT&T. I'm thinking about when my minutes run out of finding a better pay as you go service. I hope it's something compatible with my sim and the 917

These sim cards arent active. Once you receive them you have to add money and call the company to activate them. Im currently using the $25 plan. Unlimited calls and sms/mms. If you want to use the web I believe its starts at $40 for everything.

I have one and it works great. However, there is a hitch. Last I heard T-Mobil no longer accepts new customers. There are two SIM cards inside. Each can be associated with a number. When I bought mine, I was assigned a number. I can use it anywhere in the country that I can plug into the internet. I'd suggest you contact T-Mobile. If they won't set the service up for you there is also Vontage which works the same way, but at a slightly higher price. 2 notes: if the router(the device in the photo) stops working, you will need to buy another. It's the same with Vontage. It cost me about $60, not to mention the time and effort. The vontage one works with fax machines, the T-Mobile one doesn't. I have one and it works great.

I was told by NET 10, it depending on the SIM, etc. My Net 10 Salaxy S3 was Sprint also and I had poor service. Now I have a S4 and same thing...it is T-Moble and VERY POOR Service! I'm thinking about leaving Net10 for this reason & I've been a customer for over 15 years.

T-Mobile provides both email and SMS access. As far as I know all email AND texting is unlimited and included in the $19.99 price, full stop. There are no extra fees and tack-on charges that I currently get with Verizon and AT&T; -- these make me crazy and add about 15-25% on top of their advertised rates.

Funny how no one really knows thew answer on this topic. If you receive a card with $40 pre-loaded where is the PIN to activate if there is no SIM kit? You can not activate on the website for a PIN or credit card is need and if you go the credit card way they try to charge you over $44.00 on your credit card. No way am I giving out my credit card. I think asking for a PIN is ridiculous and waste potential new customers. Think I will just stick with what I know and easy to use T-Mobile. Never had I had to get a PIN to activate with them.

They came out with a new LTE sim card, this sim card might not work, go to Lycamobile website for more information. you can definitely pay as you go, you can recharge from their website, just activate the sim card and your are good to go, you can also make international call with it

Can anyone say that they had an easy time of unlocking a T-Mobile phone? I've tried it once and found that T-Mobile would rather see 'their' phones in a landfill than be re-used through another carrier.

don't really understand your question. If you are using t mobile, I assume you already have a sim card with a voice and/or data plan. If you only have a voice plan, then you could still use the phone but only to make calls or send text messages. All other features require a data plan ($10/month)

No...this is a pre-paid phone!!! Why are people saying yes?? Tried to activate and couldn't with Verizon....

Tmobile is currently updating their network by area, please contact Tmobile to inquire if they work under Cellular Band 3G 850 / 1900 Mhz if they do, you will not have a problem using this phone.

Yes, if you do not use the device for a period of time, T-mobile will deactivate the SIM card and you will be forced to buy a new one. I just experienced this very thing yesterday. Went to lend this device to a friend who's going out of town and I couldn't log in to my account. After calling T-mobile, the CS rep "Sergio", told me the SIM card had been deactivated for lack of use and to go to the store and they would replace it for no charge. When I got to a T-mobile store, I was charged $10 for a new SIM card + the additional amount to add data. After my friend gets back, I plan to dump this thing and get a *real* "no contract" wifi hotspot. Forcing users to buy new SIM cards just because T-mobile decides to arbitrarily deactivate your perfectly-good working one is a total scumbag move on their part.

This is a T-Mobile nano sim card, which is needed for the Iphone 5 to work on the T-Mobile network specifically. What I did is call T-Mobile and ask them to send me, for $1.05, a 'activation kit' in order to get the activation code needed to activate the sim card. Until 1/30/13 this activation kit is $1.05 but it's a promotional offer, and after this date, the price goes back up to $35.00 so you would need to find it on Amazon. The sim card here you are looking to buy is the sim card ALONE, not the activation kit. When I called T-Mobile, they said it was safer to buy the T-Mobile nano sim card alone on Amazon, and then call them for the activation kit to be sent. Hope this helps! It's a messy process.

Got the phone from Amazon. Got the prepaid activation kit from tmobile.com. Used the prepaid activation kit numbers for activation, not the ones on the phone box. Selected the $30 unlimited internet, text, 100 minutes during online setup. No issues. Called tmobile support after this to initiate the phone port which completed later in the evening.

I went with AT&T; and I pay monthly, but you can also do a contract. There are other companies out there that use AT&T; networking that you can also use if you're looking for a no contract deal. This phone is small in size and does not com with a sim card, but AT&T; gave me one free when I signed up with them, plus they downloaded all my info. Oh and I should mention this is a AT&T; phone, so u will have to use them, but I'm still very happy with this phone!! Hope this helps!! I would also like to add that this phone does have a back lit keyboard.....I finally figured it out!! LOL

I just ordered the same phone woks with the Verizon network. I am unable to use it because you have to activate it to use any features, when you turn it on you get the activation screen, when you call you have to buy a data plan for 45 bucks before you can use the phone. Right now mine is a paperweight. you cannot use the pay as you go cards data plan only.
