The iPhone 5s GSM will work on any T-Mobile USA Pay in Advance plans. You will need to buy a NanoSim Kit if you have an iPhone 5s and activate the phone in advance of selecting the T-Mobile Pay in Advance plan.

I do not know if it can be used as a pre-paid phone, but I have the $45 a month unlimited plan, and I did use the SIM card from an older phone, and it works. It can NOT be used with T-Mobile, or Consumer Cellular SIM cards due to the number that they use to activate the phone has a different type of activation set up number.

Hi Sharon,SimpleMobile uses T-mobile's network. The first phone I used with them was an unlocked T-Mobile Samsung Behold II and it worked perfectly. I don't know exactly what you mean by prepaid though. I hope this help ;o)

No. Only iPhones bought from t-mobile or factory unlocked can be used on t-mobile service.

Hi. If this phone is unlocked, then yes I believe it should be compatible with T-Mobile. Make sure to ask the seller just to be safe. Hope this helps you.

This is a Unlocked iPhone 5c. Which means it will work for T-Mobile and AT&T as well as other GSM networks around the world. Once you receive your phone, please insert your T-mobile SIM card that has data service so you may activate your iPhone with Apple. Please make sure you have the correct sim-card size in order to use it with the iphone. This phone is unlocked for all GSM carriers. Simply input a nano-sim card from your carrier that has a data plan. Then proceed to connect the phone to your pc with iTunes and internet connection. Activate your phone using iTunes while your sim card is in the phone and powered on. Once iTunes activates the phone, you may begin to use your phone on the network. The carrier does not activate the phone, only iTunes does with a valid GSM carrier sim-card.

Hi Margaret,You certainly can. The Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked and able to accept GSM SIM cards. See the link below for instructions on bringing your phone to T-mobile:http://www.t-mobile.com/bring-your-own-phone.html.

I believe the card works for most T-Mobile phones so long that it is used to make payment on a prepaid account. The card may or may not be used to make a payment on a credit or post-pay account. But, I would be very surprised if T-Mobile would not accept the card as payment on credit or pay account because most cell phones companies accept them as payment.

This is a T-Mobile nano sim card, which is needed for the Iphone 5 to work on the T-Mobile network specifically. What I did is call T-Mobile and ask them to send me, for $1.05, a 'activation kit' in order to get the activation code needed to activate the sim card. Until 1/30/13 this activation kit is $1.05 but it's a promotional offer, and after this date, the price goes back up to $35.00 so you would need to find it on Amazon. The sim card here you are looking to buy is the sim card ALONE, not the activation kit. When I called T-Mobile, they said it was safer to buy the T-Mobile nano sim card alone on Amazon, and then call them for the activation kit to be sent. Hope this helps! It's a messy process.

I did not try T-mobile. However I used it with AT&T; and it works fine. Nevertheless, thir phone is unlocked, theoretically it is supposed to work with any SIM. The only limitation when is the policies and procedures of your carrier. You may need to call them and ask about their user policy on using unlock phone. But, I Bellevue lately most carriers allow the usage of unlock phones.

Well, I can say I have an international sim card in this phone - and here in the USA the phone connects to the T-mobile network (it says "T-Mobile" right at the top of my display). So I know it is compatible with the T-mobile network in the USA.

I have the T-Mobile prepaid plan with a super-cheapie phone (Moto v195s) and I'm looking at upgrading to this phone. Were you able to get the data plan separately to work with this phone and the prepaid plan? I don't use voice heavily, but I do text message and I might like having data. What was the cost (if you don't mind the question) and are you seeing any drawbacks to this arrangement? Thanks!

Yes, it will work just fine with the T-mobile plan. In fact, I got it for my mom to use it on T-mobile as well. It takes standard sim card. Battery life has been good so far. Simple phone to use.

Yes! Love the phone. And I'm with T-Mobile on the $30/mo pre-pay plan (no taxes or fees added): unlimited texting, 5 GB data, and 100 mins. You have to call them to get this deal. No matter what plan you get you will need to get the SIM Starter Kit $10, but when I called them they waived the $10 for me. Enjoy your phone!

Probably....I switched SIM cards from my old T-mobile phone to the T139, so I kept my number & contact list, but I use the prepaid cards not the regular service. But I don't see why it would not work.

Ah.... I have T-Mobile iPhone 5. For that phone , use Nano SIM card for iPhone 5. The Nano SIM is much smaller than the iPhone 3, 3G , 4 and 4S.

There's no difference between a T-mobile prepaid phone and postpaid phone. You put in whatever SIM goes with your account/plan/phone number. There should be no other charges if you already have service. You might want to look at prepaid phones simply because there's no time commitment. I got this for $50, and got a $30 prepaid card with it. For me that worked out well because I was able to add the $30 to my existing balance. If you get that sort of deal, you can always sell the prepaid card on a popular auction site. People will buy a $30 card for $25 or so. Check back often since prices fluctuate. Also check the T-mobile website itself. Sometimes they have better deals.
