When I called Tracfone to activate they said they could not activate any of the sim cards in the pack. They did not have them in their system. Tracfone sent me a sim card for free.
Now I know why the pack only costed a dollar. Don't waste time or money.

Totally confusing instructions and amateurish customer service. Subsequent call was better. But overall experience was frustrating. I returned the product and cancelled the service.

I got this sim because the Tracfone rep told me to get a new one because the old one will no longer work. I don't think it solved the problem.

I bought the SIM kit with the intention of using it with an LG Treasure phone that had originally been a Tracfone. After wasting over an hour on the phone the Tracfone folks were unable to activate the service.
