    This T-Mobile sim card was cheap and it quickly got me into the T-Mobile LTE network but unfortunately their pay by the day plans are non existent. So that means you should go for pay as you go. Which has 30 min talk and 30 sms and you have to purchase a data pass or pay by the month with unlimited talk text and unlimited data with a high speed limit or the $80 unlimited LTE data plan which has no data throttling. Final verdict go with simply prepaid even if the $40 plan has a max speed LTE limit of 8 Mbps

    Purchase was made for a family member who couldn't be happier. Setup was easy and number porting took place within a few minutes. Incoming calls took a few hours before the service was fully available. All other services worked immediately. Activation was pretty simple but can be confusing if setting up online. Everything was simple until it asked me for a payment resulting in a simple telephone call to T-Mobile. Overall things are working out, knock on wood and there aren't any issues.

    I needed one of these to port a phone number from AT&T to Google Voice. Kind of a bummer but that's life. What I really didn't expect is that the package comes with sim card adapters for the two other sizes for the chip. That's really nice of them to include. Especially if you're vacation to the states with an older unlocked phone. To activate service it you need to put in a minimum of $10 worth of minuets. But they also allow you to chose different plans that include data and messaging.

    This is one of the better phone plans out there now, I bought it as a test, to see if I could get coverage to and from my home in the OC going to my other home in Sedona and back, taking a different route each way. T-Mobile worked great most of the trip, going and returning, T-Mobile puts out a great product for the money, there price structure i structure is hard to beat.

    Since this is just a SIM card and not much to review, here's some related information: 1. The acronym SIM in SIM card means "Subscriber identity module". 2. T-Mobile US is a major wireless network operator in the United States. The German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom (DT) is its majority shareholder. Its headquarters are located in Bellevue, Washington, in the Seattle metropolitan area... Fun stuff, right?

    Needed a SIM card to create a phone number that I could port to a different carrier. T-Mobile makes the process easy. Included information explains the activation process do things go smoothly. The price on the SIM card is the lowest available if you are not purchasing online for $1

    My mother in law drop her tmobile cell phone on the toilet, no problem, we had an old phone she was able to use until she got a replacement one, well, the Sim card was smaller for the damaged phone, no one really have Sim adapters in Stock, so after a little research I found that I could get this starter kit and just use the adapters to make up the proper Sim size. For 3 bucks it was a great deal, it works perfectly.

    I purchased this card for my new phone, and when I called T-mobile store, I was told I need to pay over $20 for getting a new sim card, this one is very cheap, but the nanocard fits perfectly to my new phone. I already have a family plan with T-mobile, and it is super easy to activate the card and keep my original number by calling the number on the back. Highly recommend to those who need a replacement of sim card.

    I had to get a connection for my parents who were visiting the US for a month. The micro-sim provided worked well with the MotoG. Rest of the review covers the $40 add-on pack I used. This was the pack suggested by Best Buy and was also one of the value for money ones from the big carriers with talk/text/data. However, the limits of T-mobile came to light when it couldn't keep up with my Verizon (4G LTE) in terms of connectivity or 3G data (Moto G 1st gen only supported 3G).

    I bought this for my son who was visiting from Australia and needed a local phone access while he was here for three weeks. He had it set up in five minutes and was able to use it the entire time he was here without any problems.

    I feel like the best thing you can say about a SIM card is that you have nothing to say about it. A decent SIM card will do what it's supposed to, and that's about it. If you have a strong opinion about a SIM card, that's a bad sign. Anyway, this SIM card is fine, it comes with three size options to fit any phone, it works, it's cheap, it's simple to port your own number over, that's about all you can ask from a SIM card.

    You should have no problems getting your phone up and running with this kit. And T-Mobile service is excellent - at least in my area. I don't travel a lot, but everywhere in New England and New York that I have gone I always have coverage. This kit has a nano sim card and adapters for both standard and micro sim slots so you should be covered no matter what your needs are.
