What's the best prepaid sim card for this system? I don't have a land line and live in Texas.

I was able to get a free sim from T-Mobile which works quite well. The prepaid option costs $100 for one year, including 1000 minutes. I was able to add another year by simply adding $10. You will want to choose a cellular provider who has good coverage in your area - a key factor in my selecting T-Mobile since the alarm system does not pick up the cellular signals well. I had to add an external antenna to increase the signal even though my area is receiving the strongest T-Mobile coverage. Also, note that the alarm unit takes the older, full-sized sim.

I used http://alarmsim.com/ seems to work ok. I'm not thrilled with the cell performance of the fortress unit but it does seem to get the job done.

I don't have a landline either. Go tohttp://alarmsim.com. No monthly fees, just prepay for minutes. & it does not expire. Worked great for me.

You may buy a T-Mobile regular size SIM card, then activate the SIM card, it will work with this system.

You have to buy the cell card separate. Buy the carrier that works best for your area. AT&T; verizon tmobile etc.

There is two prepaid companies that you can connect it to, one is PAGE PLUS and the other one is straight talk because is a 3g phone and a CDMA phone this is not a GSM phone it doesn't use sim card. you can look for both companies in Google they have very good prepaid plans and a very good signal because they work with the Verizon towers.

I use the straight talk hotspot with my tablet. It works great. Prepaid at Walmart are online.

I used t-mobile ! This phone awesome ! You can use h2o, t- mobile or at&t, but t- mobile is very nice no plan, i paid 30$ a month for u limited internet and unlimited txt and 100 mins of call, seems good deal for me,

To my humble opinion that's bad planning. A US sim will get you romming and incurring higher comms costs (you will be 1200miles away from the US network). Use a Mex SIM and use skype/viber or similar to comm on data, it should be way cheaper (but i must admit i have no clue about Mex sims and data packages). Hope this helps. otherwise, send a postcard !

I don't believe AT&T; has sim cards. I already had T-mobile service, so that is why I selected that vendor. You can choose any vendor that issues sim cards. as for basic line services, should be like 10$/month. The unit will accept line lines if you already have one, but if lan line is cut by intruder or service is down, the unit will not call out.

I used a Activation kit, it had two sims card in it and I used the Big one. Call your service provider and they can walk you thru it if your having a hard time, I did. I used straight talk. and they were very helpful. Hope this help.

T-Mobile prepaid sim card works. Go to one of their official branch, ask for prepaid sim card for unlock phone to be acitvate. Pay $10 for the Sim Card plus airtime cost of $10, $30, etc. Be aware of 90 days service each load. Try $10 first and test it out and then reload more airtime if it works.

You don't need a T-mobile SIM. You can use an AT&T; one from a Go Phone or just go to an AT&T; store and tell them you need a pre paid SIM card. It just needs to be a GSM card.
