Do not buy from Best Buy
Was not able to activate the SIM card at all, kept showing up as invalid. These SIM cards are not scanned correctly so now I’m unable to activate my service and lost my money.

Solid inexpensive wireless option
Cricket wireless Prepaid is a decent MVNO solution for fairly inexpensive Talk, Text, and Internet wireless service. The service uses the same network as AT&T wireless, so it works about as well, but for less money. Set up via website or their call center is easy ( except for the ridiculously long call center wait times) I would recommend it if you're on a budget.

Works when correctly activated by Best Buy
It's being bit of a challenge with buying Cricket SIM card from Best Buy, you almost always run into activation issue. This time I chose to pick in store and explicitly asked the cashier to make sure it is "activated" (which will mark this SIM being actually sold and Cricket will see it as a valid SIM in their system). After bit of a struggle, cashier was able to activate. After that, I didn't have any issue when I called Cricket to use it in my new phone, they were able to configure and I was up and running in 10 min.

Online order SIM would not activate
The online SIM card ordered, which was shipped to home, would not activate with cricket wireless website or customer service. Thus, I exchanged it at store with a working one after few hours of failed attempts and talking to BestBuy store manager. Make sure to test it under the 14-day window or be prepared to lose $9.99 as other customers.

Best deal at bestbuy for cricket wireless sim card
Got it on sale. They priced matched Amazon.com and I already had a cricket phone so everything said and done with saving money buying this at best buy i was able to go home and activate it at my house saving me a decent amount of money having to go to cricket wireless. As cricket wireless won't sell you the sim card by itself unless your getting service and a phone and everything there. And doing it online saved me a ridiculous $25.00 activation fee. So anyone who wants cricket wireless which uses AT&T towers, buy the sim here and activate at home online save your money. Just choose and pay the plan and that's it. Very easy and simple. All thanks to best buy and thanks to their price matching policy all saved me quite a bit of money. Thank you best buy...
