You can use it over and over for years. The plans often have an expiration date. You can sign up for an unlimited talk/text package for $25 a month. Apply a $25 phone card prior to traveling to the USA and your plan will be automatically activated. After the month is over it is expired. If still needed, add another $25 card and keep going another month ..... next year, do the same thing, when you hit the USA, but a $25 card, put the number from the back of the card in, and you get a message stating $25 successfully applied to your account. Shortly after that, you receive a message stating that your plan has been renewed ($25/month unlimited talk/text) if the plan is still a viable option. You can use it over and over for years.

In order to maintain the number, you must charge or recharge the card's phone every 90 days.

Yes you can, just be ready with it when you go through security. I traveled international without any problems.

No, unfortunately the SIM card expires and it won't be useful at all.. You've to know how long you'll stay in US before buying it. The expiring time starts when you active the SIM, via sms. Bye

it's good for one whole year, then you need to buy air time as well. Most cards come with minutes AND air time, which is fine by us, it ADDS the air time to the existing time you have, so for instance..if you buy minutes and get 90 days of air time, you then would have a year and 90 days. Make sense?? We love our trac phones, and with double minutes or even triple minutes...how can you go wrong? especially if you don't text or stuff like that. This is the perfect phone, it's thicker, bigger keys etc. My husband loves his!!!! Hope this helps!

I've had them for a while. Have had no problems except they don't always last as long as they say. Never noticed the "not for use in USA".

You will need to get a converter to use this item internationally. Inexpensive, it is worth having for your assorted travel items.

After registration with AT&T; and pre-purchase of the voice/data plan you need, you'll be able to use the phone in the US. You have no contractural commitment to AT&T;: the voice/data plan you've purchased simply expires/is consumed. I use my AT&T; number for several trips/year to the US (I have similar such SIM cards for IRL, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, France etc). With AT&T;, I typically buy a $40 voice plan and add a $5 data (1 GB plan) - the plan has a month's duration - albeit that I'm typically on the in US for 5 days at a time. Still good value! And I can keep WhatsApp and iMessage working without changing their initial registered numbers.

I agree. I bought it in USA but I am from Argentina. I could use it five times only and then It has never started again. The warranty is only in USA.

You should be able to use it at anytime. There isn't anything to limit when you can use it.

you can use it as many times as you would like. it just wont store their information in the unit. So just have every thing written down and it would work fine. You would have it set as guest not a person in the data.

I send it out of country to be used so I don't know. Call at&t; and ask before you buy it.

Absolutely. I use it in Spain several times a year and used it this year in Portugal. Safe travels.

Hi John, I agree with the others, you can use as many as you need, but if you use only one Skype account you will receive simultaneous calls in all of them. When someone call my Online Skype Number I can answer the call with the Free Talk or with my Skype (cell phone or notebook), it's up to me. I hope it can help you.

yes, you can use it multiple times, you just have to recharge it after use. Hope this helps. :)
