    This SIM card works great, once I finally figured out how to activate it on Cricket's site. Instead of logging in or adding a line go to the "Activate" tab on the top of the site. There you can enter your phone's IMEI and the SIM card ICCID, then you will be able to create an account or log in.

    Cricket wireless is great however don't purchase these online. Best Buy's warehouse is not able to activate them and somehow they deactivate them whereas they cannot be activated if taken to a store or with a representative at the call center. Buyer beware!

    The price for a SIM might seem high at times but this is a fantastic deal and stupidly simple to use. The SIM has several cutouts on itself for different types of devices without having to need an adapter, which is really nice and makes everything more efficient.

    GREAT Sim for anyone wanting ATT service without the price. Group savings are awesome. This SIM is great because it is 3 sizes in one package. Just pop out the extra spacer rings depending on your phone. Once activated it will work in any unlocked GSM phone.

    Backed by AT&T, Cricket Wireless is a very high value to service cellular carrier. You won't go wrong just taking this Sim card..adding some funds and then placing in your AT&T or Unlocked GSM phone. Then you're good to go!!!

    Cricket is owned by AT&T and uses their towers. Same service for much lower price. Best cell phone deals out there. Best of all, the price they show includes all taxes and fees. There are no hidden charges like the other carriers.

    I purchsed two sim activation starter kits for the awesome price of .99 ea but alas Cricket says Best Buy did not activate them and tha I should call Best Buy & have them activated. After 1.5 hrs on the phone with both companies Best Buy offered to replace the cards which they did, only to have the same thing happen all over again. I tried to get Best Buy to activate them in the store but they refused and refunded my money. Had to pay $10 at Cricket and start over.Also had to keep my old service another month since Cricket would not activate and was afraid of losing my phone number ( it takes 2 days to port your number) Big Headache!

    Bought this for my dad who lives in another state. It didn't work so Best Buy sent him another one and it didn't work either. He tried to activate it by calling both Best Buy and Cricket. He wound up having to go to the Cricket store for them to activate it. Good price though the shipping was a lot more than the SIM. Seems the fault is with Cricket and I thank Best Buy for sending a second one. So really 5 starts for BB and 3 for Cricket since it did work just not over the phone activation.

    The card has two adapters with it so it will fit newer and older phones. Plus you will save on the activation fee Cricket stores charge by buying the card here. Look for when it's on sale for $1 if you need multiple cards.

    Cricket seems a good deal for my use patterns

    Bought the SIM in store to save mailing/shipping and to be able to set up the service on the same day. Am using it with a Moto X Pure 2015, mostly in the NY Metro areas (NYC, LI, Westchester, North NJ). The combination seems to work great, and also seems to be a least cost solution for my moderately heavy, but highly variable data usage. Not a huge fan of AT&T but service seems good, coverage is reliable (better voice coverage contiguity and around half the price of Spirit -my previous carrier- even if not as fast). Also worth noting, apparently GSM uses less data to do the same thing as CDMA. It's throttled at 8Mb, but who really gets that or needs that on a phone? No real complaints so far, but I've only had it a month.

    Had ATT for 12 years and one day I asked myself, why not use cricket which uses ATT's network. Oh ok, they limit speeds to 8mbps...so what? on the phone is more than enough, trust me.!!! it works fine ans the fee is always the same!!!!!

    The Sim kit was easy enough to use. It was the right size for the phone I currently own. I used the deal bestbuy had wherein you get 20% off on the total bill if you bought a SIM kit with refill card.
