    I wasted a week and used online chat plus had 3 other people try to get the phone to accept the codes...but neither the card nor the phone would work! I am returning this garbage! You would be better off tying a string through 2 tin cans!

    Online it said the phone was NFC enabled, after I bought it I saw it wasn't. It should be removed from the NFC phones.
