Hi ilona o, I bought this as well and the way they advertise it says they will loss it for you but I got the same thing you did. They actually just send the card to you which made me highly upset cause I didn't have the cash at the moment to get it but had the funds on amazon. It willcome to you within 3-5 days. Sorry you had to experience the sAME disappointment I did. Hope this helped.

Probably nothing did you receive a text saying the minutes have been added sometimes it takes a while

I was running mine on ATT...it was unlocked. If it says T-Mobile on it don't get it.Unless you are getting a real bargain on these now you are better getting something else

I don't remember!!. If you have T-Mobile service, talk to the company about it.

This device works for me with T-mobile in the US, however MMS messages are a bit funky. I'm unsure if this is a phone limitation, or T-Mobile. Everything else works great.

Yes! When I purchase this phone I had ceased buying contracts from T-Mobile. I SIMPLY WENT TO THE t sTORE and purchased the SIM card kit. That was it except to a checkout of functionality. I pay an accont with T-Mobile but keep it very low with 3 numbers for the family!

I think it originally was with At&T.; My T mobile sim card worked fine, but I was unable to receive or send Pictures. I called t-mobile and they did something from their end. Now everything with T-mobile works fine. Gary

Call T Mobile. I use this phone on my existing plan, not as a prepaid plan. The important thing is that the phone is a T Mobile phone. It is very flexible. You should be able to get the plan you want if T Mobile has that plan.

I have Verizon. Not so sure if it works with T-Mobile. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I just popped in my SIM card and was good to go. I have AT&T as well. If you have a MicroSIM you should be golden.

Not in my case. I had a prepaid T-Mobile phone already. I just transferred the SIM card to the new phone.

I ended up receiving a SIM card cut down to nano. It never worked. T mobile will send one for free upon request. I should have done that to begin with. I was charged 45 dollars freight and handling by the provider of the card. I strongly advise not to purchase.

L. Stanley,Can you help me out? I know nothing about all of this cell phone technology - I just need to buy my boyfriend a present and think this is a great gift. He's on T-mobile, so which version of the phone should I get him that will work here in the US? I don't know if it makes a difference but he's from Australia so the phone also needs to work there when he goes back.Thanks alot!

We bought the phone from Amazon and it came with Sim starter kit (although no refill card). We just added minutes on the T-mobile web site and were on our way! I would definitely buy it here over from T-mobile.

you can go to t mobile support and ask them. but so long as it is not a phone where you have to buy minutes in advance, it should work

I actually went into a TMo store today before going to the gym, to switch from ATT and check out the $10 internet plan (with the 500 talk for $29/mo). I purposely left my phone in the car, so when they asked for it I said I didn't have it with me, that it was an old Nokia, which later made them scan another cell box for activation. I got so excited - how easy it was, that I didnt even go to the gym but drove back home to config the internet - and WOW! I have a super cheap unlimited 3-f__ken-G!!!!!!!!!!!! I went for a workout right after and now I can listen to internet radio stream, instead of the stupid crap they play at the gym. That sonovab!+ch KELLY - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine. I didn't have a number that I had to keep but I do know that if you already have an active number and are trying to either switch phone services or are simply switching phones that the company representative you are speaking with will ask you if you would like to keep your old phone number or switch to another available one. I don't think this phone comes with a charger, so just make sure you have one that will work with this phone before you get it because I don't think it comes charged... Good luck and hope these comments help! Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine.

If you called T-Mobile and they have activated the sim for you and in their system the sim is showing active than its not an issue with the sim, it's your phone. Reset your phone or go to a local phone store have them configure the phone for you with the proper settings or you can configure the phone settings yourself using link from online. Search tmobile sim settings configuration for whatever phone you are using. Hope this helps, good luck.
