Want to know if 30 days from date of purchase or date of activation? I've bough sim from other carrier and seems like they start from purchase date.

Good question! I bought two fromthe this seller to save time. My current card is about to expire so I should find out soon. If I don't post anything within 3 weeks, then it's good to go. However, from the way the card is activated online, I think unactivated card is good for a long time if not registered for activation, kind of like scratch-off lottery tickets.

Its 30 days from activation but the sim card won't activate after 2 months of purchase. The seller told me they never expire but they do

I bought it for that reason and NO you can't. I confused me & I wish I had asked first. I bought it for my Dad because he lost his phone. We couldn't use it. They(Verizon) he could use it 60 days after their plan ended if he wanted a pre-paid option. Its still in the box!

Ours came with 300 minutes. If it is ordered new it should come that way and you should get those minutes when you activate it. Be sure to ask for it as who does this for you may not know you get them but if you tell them they will do it for you. Good luck. We each have had these phones for several years and had very good luck with them.

It is already activated. If you have an unlocked phone, after you put in the sim you can make calls right away even in the US, just dont pick it up as it will be long distance call.

Yes, once you activate it, it's for a 30 day free trial, then purchase is necessary

Hi, T. HA--I was previously a TMobile prepaid customer on the 1500 talk and text plan and had been using another phone. I purchased this one off Amazon and called TMobile to activate the sim card that came with new phone. The guy that I first spoke to said that I couldn't activate it to the new Walmart plan because the phone hadn't been purchased at Walmart. I probably spent around 20 minutes speaking to him. I then asked to speak with a customer service supervisor and once I got through to her, the activation of the new sim card to the Walmart plan and the porting of my old Prepaid number over to the newly activated sim card took about 5 minutes. I was very pleased, but you just need to be persistent. Hi, T. HA--I was previously a TMobile prepaid customer on the 1500 talk and text plan and had been using another phone.

That will depend on the individual phone. Most of the phones were in fact originally sold for use on prepaid plans and can't be activated on regular, postpaid accounts unless they were used for prepaid VZW service for at least six months. You should send a message directly to any given seller to ask about the phones they're selling before you buy.

I could not get these sim cards to work. I called the company and was told that some of them expire after 3 mos or so. Please be careful buying these sim cards. I think you should wait to get there and buy some type of no contract phone. YOu can also buy the phone and sim card online. I hope this helps. I ruined one of my Mom;s phone trying to activate these cards.

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.

I just received this phone yesterday. Shortly after I activated the telephone with the new Sim card the $50 credit appeared on my account. However, it looks like that $50 credit expires after 60 days. So you have to blow through $50 in two months or you lose whatever is left of the credit. At least that's the way it appears to me. If I find out more or something to the contrary I will follow up.

I know this is an old post, but I figured I would throw the answer out there. Due to Verizon's desire to screw their customers over at every opportunity, this phone is not able to be activated on a contract plan immediately after purchasing it here. Sure, you could go to Verizon and pay the full MSRP on these lumps of crap, or you could buy it here for a somewhat reasonable price. If you buy it here, though, you must wait for 6 months before the phone can be activated on a contract account. To put it differently, the phone, as you would purchase it from this very product page, would absolutely work on the contract plan, but Verizon will not allow it until 6 months have elapsed from the date of purchase.

I never activated my card. I have AT&T; now. I did call the company before I bought the card. They said call them to activate.
