How much is the monthly activation fee? From their website FAQ"there is a very small cost to keep your cell service activated."

YES...you CAN use your own SIM card...any GSM card will work AFTER the 31st of December. What is going to happen is any device that is activated prior to the 31st on their site will be sent a PIN unlock code to the device on the 31st which will deactivate the existing SIM but unlock the unit itself. At that point Customer Care said you can use any GSM sim card in the unit. The programming will remain, and functionality will be restored. They said it's basically like unlocking a phone is what they are going to do so that it can function with any GSM sim at that point.

Please note that it appears that after December 2014, SAM Security LLc will no longer support this system's included GSM SIM card. At this point, I am not sure if owners will be able to use thier own SIM card in the control panel. If not,then the this system will not be able to send out a test alert and will only be able to be used as a local alarm system.

I apologize for the late reply but Yes, you can just activate this phone without being charged or renewing your contract.

Hi the answer to your question is no there is still a 7 $ monthly charge and there is no activation charge but if you own your equipment the is no commitment requirement. I hope this helps you.

Its totally free. No monthly charges. It connects to your smartphone when you set it up. Installing it and set up takes 5 minutes max. Very straight forward. Very sophisticated and user friendly.

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.

Its $30 a month. Cancel anytime. It works pretty good. Phone support is excellent. Over all very happy with device and service.

The "access fee" is for programing/ sending you the signal. You only save by having the piece of mind in not entering into a contract for a year or two. Buying more than one and activating on you account will bring on an additional fee to your monthly billing as I understand.

Just to add, you still do need to call them to activate. You do save installation fee because they charge that if you don't purchase the unit from them and you request for installation.

Yup, 2 year contract with $35 activation fee like every carrier out there so it's not really hidden. And just to be sure there is a termination fee usually its $200 now, unless your not getting receptions in your are then you might be able to talk to customer service and terminate your contract with no fee or some kind of discounted fee.

A big hearty ten minutes to start you off. I originally thought you got at least an unlimited month as the box says, but it is misleading to say the least, so I know where your question is coming from. 10 Whole minutes and then you buy nationwide for $50.00 or from $15.00 a month with unlimited carryover of service days and minutes. Nice phone, but bad packaging information. Glad you asked.

In the usa, T-Mobile still(05.2015) offers a data plan where you pay $15 once for the SIM card, then you get 200MB/month for life FREE, no-contract, and you can buy data as you need it; 500MB/1 day $5; 1GB/1 week, $10; 3GB/30 days $30; 5GB/30 days $40; I believe I have the pricing correct. If you aren't a data hog, you can go all month of emailing with the Free 200MB, sweet. I have these in some 3G iPads and works awesome. I love T-Mobi and am kissing AT-T's A$$ goodbye.

there is an initial turn on fee, then a monthly pay as you go fee. the monthly rates vary depending on the frequency of data down load- 1 sec. up to 5 mins. Find their web site for accurate rate info. they are also available by phone for questions , even prior to purchase. that tel. # is also on the website-great customer service and easy to use the product and program ( I am not real tech savvy).

My Verizon store gave me a Sim card. But yes, you have to pay for a monthly fee. I would ask your Verizon office. It's interesting you emailed me, because today I found the brand-new Mifi that I lost that required me to buy this when it through Amazon. I could sell you that one. Of course if you don't have one already, you're better just to go to your cell phone carrier and get one because they will sell it to you for a penny the first time. I had to buy this one because I lost the free one

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.

This is a mini, not a full fledged Genie. Yes, you can have it activated and will be charged an additional $6-7 per month for it. Yes, they "might" make you renew for two more years. You will have to ask the CSR when you call to have your mini activated.

That was so long ago, I don't remember. What I do remember was that it took at least 5 hours to activate the phone and I ended up sending it back and cancelling the service. They do have an 800 number that would probably give you the answer. Also, the advertised monthly rate does not include all kinds of taxes, which increased the price considerably and was another reason I cancelled. Hope this is helpful to you.
