    Worked for my unlocked phone after acitvating online. Did not have to call T-Mobile and wait on hold. I chose their $3/mo for their Pay as you Go plan. No contract and great for an emergency phone!

    Easy way to activate a T-Mobile prepaid plan. Comes with $40 airtime included to activate on a monthly $40 plan. Activated in store with ease. It also comes with sim adapters to fit most unlocked phones.

    The price is excellent but the actual set-up is taking very long and while T-Mobile will do the set-up in their stores best buy does not.

    I purchased a prepaid Sim for the $30 5gb limited voice plan. Packaging is cool and I had it in the phone and activated in a few minutes. Simple process and inexpensive.

    This inexpensive SIM card works for both T-Mobile prepaid AND T-Mobile post-paid. Much less expensive than the $15 SIM cards they sell at the T-Mobile stores.

    Can avoid activation fees if you get the kit and do it online or over the phone. You could press a counter agent and avoid the activation fee as well

    I thought I could use the SIM card to activate a monthly (post-paid) but found by calling T-mobile that I could not. When I tried to switch to post-paid. T-mobile rep ran my credit and said I would need to provide deposit. I've had cell phones from Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T and never had to provide deposit. I've had cell phones since 1996, never had to pay deposit. My current credit score is excellent so I don't get why T-mobile would require a deposit. Anyways, I don't think I will be dealing with them in the future.

    Poor design

    If you need a Nano sim for your device you won't have an issue, but if you need to use the included adapters you are out of luck. The plastic that the adapters are constructed of are very flimsy and the nano comes out of the adapters and gets stuck in some devices and you can't get it out. Also, the adapters it self gets stuck, I ruined a device trying to get the adapter and the nano out. My suggestion is to go to a T-Mobile location and purchase a Universal sim card if you need either a micro or standard sim card.

    I purchased this for the reason of using the SIM card adapter to go from a NANO to a Micro. The adapter fit in the slot but the phone did not recognize the SIM card.
