I just bought an unlocked iPhone 5s. I don't have account to any carrier. So, if I buy this $6 card, what am I gonna be able to do exactly? Thanks!

I bought it before i went to USA. After you buy it and know the serial number you will have to activate it online with AT&T; and subscribe to a package. Then fill it with money (many websites offers it). Then you can use it to make calls and use data with your iphone. This site detailes the steps for you: http://support.mobipassport.com/usa/

You will have to have a plan with AT&T.; Then All you do is call the company, and give them your information and the info from the nano sim, and they should be able to activate it!

After registration with AT&T and pre-purchase of the voice/data plan you need, you'll be able to use the phone in the US. You have no contractural commitment to AT&T: the voice/data plan you've purchased simply expires/is consumed. I use my AT&T number for several trips/year to the US (I have similar such SIM cards for IRL, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, France etc). With AT&T, I typically buy a $40 voice plan and add a $5 data (1 GB plan) - the plan has a month's duration - albeit that I'm typically on the in US for 5 days at a time. Still good value! And I can keep WhatsApp and iMessage working without changing their initial registered numbers.

If you prefer not to use a contract service (something I finally left to save money), simply choose a service such as Straight Talk Bring your own phone package, and follow instructions. Then every month you have a choice of a couple- three choices to maintain your service evey onto. You can purchase the minute/ package card every month for a retailer such as Walmart, have an auto refill, and another such option. I found it much easier to use the auto refill or such where I don't have to worry about going to the store and remembering to purchase another service card to maintain phone service. Easy to do and if I can manage it as tech illiterate as I am, anyone can.

Alejandra looks like you bought the phone from another vendor, not from me, also looks like you bought the Iphone 5c for Sprint, Most Sprint phones are locked for Sprint, and can only be unlocked for international use, or to be use in the USA after a lot of hassling with Sprint representatives. If you need an unlocked phone make sure it says GSM Unlocked on the description. Sprint is a CDMA carrier, Verizon is also a CDMA carrier but most of Verizon phones can be also use in a GSM network. Let me know if I can help you find a phone that works for you. Thank you

I am not sure if there is a "card." $20 gives you 30 days of service. You can pay up a few months in advance or go to your local AT&T; store each month and pay $20 on your account. We pay monthly because the service is still new, and we're not sure if we'll experience problems. There are zero additional fees because we activated our unit at our local store as a PREPAID account. We paid in advance for 30 days of service and did not allow them to bill us. Customers who have activated online seem to receive bills with fees. Account must be PREPAID.

You can get it with a straight talk or net10 sim, both $45 a month unlimited just ask before ordering. actually I got this phone thru straight talk for $ 199 new and got $45 card.

Unlock means you can use it with any carrier. Example AT&T, Verizion, Sprint, etc. if u want it with no contract then you must go to the store and tell them what device you have. They will give u a SIM card and set u up an account. I use this with my laptop. Make sure there is coverage in your area, At&t....before buying. Not sure about phone. They only bad thing it's limited up to 5gb a month. Which cost 50.00. If you want more gb it cost $10.00 for every 1gb hope this helped

When I bought this card for my wife, it was to check out this type of Verizon card ordering. It came on a piece of copy paper with the pin to input on your phone for activation. We did not incur any fee(s) that she told me about. But this was used in place of the one we usually bought from W*****t. We waited only a few days to activate it. I'm not sure if this helped you out. But buy from this person. Our code worked out great! Good luck!

Hi,You have to unlock it first from AT&T.; I went on line to follow their unlocking process, but it didn't work and they kept saying that I was locked in a contract. I finally called them to request unlocking the phone, but they gave me a very hard time. It's unlocked now, and I was under no contract with AT&T; at the time of the unlocking. Any phone would have to be unlocked by the carrier company first before another carrier SIM card can be used, either in the US or any where in the world for that matter. I hope that helps.

A simple card is a simple card.....everything depends on you phone... is your iphone factory unlocked? If yes you are okay with it. I would recommend you enter your IME number at their website

I did that today. My phone is active right now WiFi only. I received two free texts from Verizon, so I know the phone is working. I also bought a 15 minute card, but didn't activate it. I set up an account at MyVerizon. They didn't ask for any money.

I think you have to buy a sim card... actually with Verizon accounts, that is included upon activation, so you don't actually pay separately for it. I LOVED this phone but hated Verizon. I would still be using it if I could put up with them!

Hi, you have pay for the unlock in your country. Maybe the unlock will be very expensive because is Sprint the operator of the cell.

since neither of my phones haf SIM cards I had to purchase them at a Verizon store which incidentally they gave me for free but I'm can assume only. Since you have a sim card that all you need to do is put it in

Cell phones are typically tied to a particular carrier, ATT, Vz, etc. This forces users to subscribe to a plan with that carrier in return for a discount on the price - $199 for an iPhone vs $600, for example. Unlocked means that the phone can be used with any carrier, as long as it is compatible with that carrier's network.On a side note, I've had this phone for 5 years, both of my children teethed on it, and it's still going strong. Its original batter will only hold a charge for a few days vs the initial 2 weeks+, but it's the best phone I've ever owned.
