Is there any way to avoid the 10$ fee for one?
Sent from my SHV-E120S using Tapatalk 2
Just ask them if they can waive the fee. This has always worked for me!

Do you think it'll work if I'm a prepaid customer?
Sent from my SHV-E120S using Tapatalk 2
Ahh if its prepaid you'll probably have to call the prepaid customer service and have them send you one. They'll do it for free too though! Or charge 1$. I've been on both ends of tmo before and never had to pay for a Sim!
wait until it's FREE, or a penny, maybe 99cents.
Or
you can tell them your sim stopped working, they can replace it for free.
I need to get one too, I should've bought one last month when it was 99cents.
But for now, i can just cut my microSim to nano size.
Or you can wait till you get the phone and (that come with the a sim card) take it to t-mobile and have them activate it.
Can/will they do that for a prepaid account?

It should come with one. Buy I have never had to pay for one before. Even had one shipped to me when my phone was stolen and T-Mobile was an hr and a half away. No charge. But I have been with them over 12 years. In a valued customer.

I recently bought a Dell Streak 7 4G T-mobile on eBay, how do I get a SIM card for it? I have never used a SIM-based telephony service and have no idea how they work. (I have always been a Sprint customer).
Any help will be appreciated. Basically, I would like an affordable pay as you go service. No contract.

Buy a prepaid tmo phone and take the card out of it, weither or not it will allow data is an entirely seperate thing.
You CANT make normal cell type calls with the s7, it doesnt have the hardware for it. You CAN use voip calls fine though

They offer the same prices without contract, just go to store or call them. I'm on the $29/ month with no contract. This is for data only.
EDIT: The 4G model should have come with a SIM card. Did you check the slot?

Thanks. I bought the tablet on eBay. The seller didn't leave the SIM Card with it. I have checked the slot. Your plan will not work for me. Although it is not on contract, I doubt if my monthly usage will justify paying $29. I would rather pay for just what I use and load up as I go.

I have a rooted HTC EVO 4G and I use it as a Wifi hotspot on rare occasions. I have already done that with this tablet and it works like a charm. Considering EVO's poor battery life when used as a Wifi hotspot, I would rather want an affordable SIM solution.

So far as know T-Mobile does not offer prepaid plans by the minute; only by the data usage per month. Those pre paid cards are for voice phones.
EDIT: I mean they don't offer those by the minute plans for the S7.

I recently went on vacation and used my S7 on the freeway to look up stuff while driving. That is not possible with WiFi, and it is this convenience that really makes it useful. I use it with WiFi at home. The T-Mobile plan come with unlimited hotspot connections, although I have not used that yet. My plan is limited in MB, so I don't use it as a hotspot.

I'm confused... I think we need to clarify some things here.
1) It sounds like you bought an HTC One without a SIM card, are you sure this is a Sprint HTC One? Why did it have no SIM?
2) Was your intent to get a Sprint SIM card and flash the phone to Cricket?
3) What are you looking to do with another person's SIM card?

I did order from the play store.
The reason I called Sprint for pre-order is that my line is eligible for update and I want to take advantage of the savings by renewing my contract.
If Google makes the 64GB available, I will go for it

If you order through sprint at the discounted and subsidized price, will the phone be locked into sprints network? If so, will sprint allow unlocking at the end of the contract?

If it's the same as when i needed a SIM for an iPhone 5 a while ago, walk into a store and ask for a SIM. They wanted to charge me $50 for a SIM. I pulled the saddest sob story ever and the manager felt sorry and gave me one for free since it was my "first" time.
I used my dads upgrade! I get a 16 GB one for about $86. $50 rebate and selling my Glxy 3 for $80.

Does anyone know if the Nexus 5 that Sprint will be selling is unlocked?
I had a plan to buy it from Sprint, pay it off and then cancel my service with Sprint. (Don't ask why)
So I need to know if I can just take it and get it activated at T-Mobile after I cancel Sprint.
I'm definitely going to try and activate this sooner. My phone arrives today. Will check Sprint stores and Best Buy for the sim.

If you didn't buy it in the initial hour of release the play store is backed up for weeks (mine arrives today, but alas, I will not be home until Wed...
I'm assuming the sprint pre-orders won't ship until the 8th? May be quicker for you to just snag one at the sprint store..

It sucks that they want to charge for a SIM. Maybe I can weasel out of it since my original plan was to just pay the $100 ETF and switch it to T-Mo prepaid. If it gets them more money, maybe they'll give me a SIM so I stick around for another few months out of laziness.
Basically I figured $100 to switch to TMo early was worth it since I'll be paying $30/mo instead of $80 and my contract has 4 months left on it. But if I can get the SIM for free and easily switch to TMo after the contract ends, I may just stick around for now.
The only thing that sucks is that 11/8 date. I could go to Walmart and get a TMo SIM tomorrow once my phone gets here but if I stay with Sprint a little longer, I'll only be able to play with it on WiFi until Friday.
Hmmm.....
Hey guys i had to gwt my hands onecone. Im a verizon customer and i couldnt wait tovget lucky for an unlocked one . Is it possible for me to get this thing to work . i dont have a nano yet. Trying to get a friend of mine from a verizon store to help me out there. If thays the case, will the nano sim card work for me or no ? Im on wifi and i love this thing !!!!!
You need to unlock the phone. It is SIM-locked to AT&T
To get it unlocked through at&t I need an account number and all that. I'm a Verizon customer so I don't have that information. I just bought the phone retail at an att. I heard you can unlock through 3rd party. Are there any recommended sites?

I asked, they said they could do it but it would take a few days to get the code, alternatively order a UK sim card from ebay, top it up and do 5 minutes if calls.
I think he means he's in India with a UK region locked phone. Getting a UK SIM isn't going to be a fix as I doubt the phone will pick up a signal from a UK mast lol
