The H2O web site won't let me buy air time without also buying a starter kit (SIM). How can I get air time so SIM can be activated?

You need to have your SIM card or Actfast code from the starter pack and go to www.h2owirelessnow.com > H2OWIRELESS > SERVICES > Activation . You will see a small window where you need to enter the new SIM card number or the Actfast code. Insert the SIM in your phone and follow the next screens on your PC to complete activation. You may have to reboot your phone to complete the process. The activation can take a few minutes up to several hours to be successful. In the meantime you sit back and be patient. After the SIM is activated you can go to View Account and charge your SIM with a minimum of $10 using your debit or credit card. Let me know if this was helpful.

I bought the sim card first and then activate it. The sim card is very cheap tho.

You have to either buy a card with H2O credit, or you can activate over the phone. Activating over the phone is a two step process: you'll have to call them from another phone to start, then the billing department will call you back after a short while to finish and allow you to pay for some credit.

Depends how it described in the Seller's information.Some Prepaid phones come with $10.00 airtime, so you can activate it but you'll be told that you have X minutes remaining on each call. Once you hit zero minutes or just a few, you can the purchase minutes from Verizon - and I seem to rememer that it's a $50.00minimum.Once you have owned it and used it for 6 months, you can put it on one of Verizan's plans.If there are no "AirTime" in the deal, Verizon will charge an activation fee.Regards,BobO'B

Probably. I messed up my initial registration and transfer and H2O refused to fix. I got a new SIM on eBay for $.99 and did the transfer and registration in one step -- very important -- and was in business. I would think the same approach would work for you. Transferring outstanding balance may beharder. As good as the rates are with H2O, support is pretty bad IMHO.

All activation instructions are included in the box. You can select your 10cent plan when you activate the phone. Be sure to purchase $25 or more worth of minutes if you want the unused minutes to rollover every 90 days. AT&T; does indeed have a 10cent per minute plan but you will be charged addistional fees for texting, etc. which can use up your airtime very fast. If you text alot you can add on additional feature by dialing 611 from your wireless phone. This is also the easiest way to add airtime if you have a credit/debit card or checking account.

H2O has pay as you go plans. The sim card will be in an envelope that has the pay as you go plans listed. The $60.00 plan is unlimited and is awesome. No throttling back the data and it's unlimited, but they also have plans that start as low as $5.00 or $10.00, you would need to check the area you are in to get the updated answers. Good Luck!

Yes, you can activate it in the US. You can test it by sending a text to it, as receiving texts is free. Using it in the US would be very expensive though, so I would advise against using it for calling in the US. You can't buy airtime with a US credit card, but you can buy top-up vouchers from online 3rd-party sellers if you want to load it up before you leave. I bought mine (from phonepal.co.uk) before leaving and managed to get money onto the account while still in the U.S. Otherwise, you can just wait until you are in the U.K. to buy airtime for it.

You'll have to activate it using your land-line phone or via web browser. (It's not difficult.) Your phone (I believe) comes with 20 minutes of airtime upon activation. You can buy airtime at Walmart or online as well. A 60-phone-minute purchase yields 180-minutes and so forth with the triple minutes for life bonus.

The card does not come with any minutes. It does however come with about 250mb of data when you first get it. In order to activate the SIM, you may be in the country that you plan to use it in. Then you must visit the local BTC in order to activate the SIM and top it up with minutes, text, and data. It's pretty straight forward. Good luck!

Yes you may, you need to buy an aircard sim from a provider like Sprint, At&t; and Team Mobile

You can either activate it online or just by calling the phone # for virgin mobile ( I highly recommend online cause their automated system sux)

I bought the Net 10 home phone but could not activate it. You need an airtime card to do this and i could not find one. I couldn't even buy one from net 10!!! So i went out and bought a straight talk home phone and it works great. I had to return the Net 10 phone.

Yes. The best way is to download a trial, and then use the key from this package to activate

I'm live in Brazil. Activate is possible, but I'm can't use the support. For me is perfect.
