If you purchase a Tracphone it will have a SIM card installed. A new Tracphone will require the purchase of a minutes card to activate the phone. Once the phone is activated you will use those minutes to operate the phone. If you purchase an unlocked smartphone and it is not a Tracphone you will probably have to purchase and install a SIM card in order to activate and use that phone on the Tracphone system.

If you buy a TracFone brand phone, it comes with a sim card in it. You don't need to fuss with it. You'll need to buy a minutes card to activate your service.
