I got my sim card from Consumer Cellular and it was FREE and with No Long Term Contract, but it will only work with their mobile phone service. I just had to notify them when I received and installed the sim card, so they could register my phone with their service and it was up and working right away. Since this is an Unlocked GSM cell phone it will work on GSM networks such as Consumer Cellular, AT&T; and T-Mobile, but will not work on CDMA networks. I'm not sure how much the other networks would charge for a sim card, but it would only be usable through their network and they may require a contract. I hope this is of help to you.

I do not understand what it is your asking. I had a basic cell number on my account I did NOT want a data package for. So I got this phone it was not prepaid if that is your question?

That's exactly what I did. No problem at all. Needed a new sim card but they didn't charge me for it :0)

If it is prepaid you should be ok. I had a t-moble smart phone and took the sims card out installed it in my new phone and it works fine.

I have no idea, but my guess is ..no! I purchased a sim card and simply topped it up with credit.

it means you can use it with a sim card on your own without having to go through the phone company to activate the phone. HTH

Unlocked means you can use a SIM card from any carrier. A locked one is tied to an specific carrier. Regardless locked or unlocked they do have a SIM card slot

Yes, this is a question I've answered before but I don't mind doing it again if it'll help someone Walter M. I believe your phone uses a nano sim like mine I bought a sim cutter to cut it down to nano but with the cutter came pieces so I could put the nano in to make it a micro or standard sim as well if I needed to,before I go I just want to let you know I'm in the beginning of 11 sims I've purchased from the site it really helps when I know I don't have to worry about ReUping, and the amount I paid was about 1 month service or a little more, hope this response was helpful have a very great day.
