I am unable to determine if the card has airtime already on it, or if I need to purchase air time. Did the card come with a minum amount?

No, the card does not have any airtime it is just gives you a registered number ahead of time. You will need to buy the air time separately and also you need to call the Bahamas exchange to activate the card. It is easier to buy the card when you land at the local airport and activate it immediately.

Did you already purchase the sim? I can recall if it had airtime if it did it would have been like five dollars, but somehow I doubt it came with...

The card does not come with any minutes. It does however come with about 250mb of data when you first get it. In order to activate the SIM, you may be in the country that you plan to use it in. Then you must visit the local BTC in order to activate the SIM and top it up with minutes, text, and data. It's pretty straight forward. Good luck!

Wish I could help but this is my first run with it.I haven't had to re-up yet.I can tell you it's working fine for me.It's probably going to be more than the $26 I paid for it,to renew,but it might be worth it to spend the extra bucks since it's working so well.If it's not too much more than I paid for it that is.

The $25 prepaid card gives you 250 minutes of airtime. And, although the card, itself, has a 90 day expiration time-frame, it's really only good for 1 month... once it's been activated. The carrier that I went with is at&t... the phone and the card were purchased separately. UPDATE: I was informed by at&t that an option for infrequent phone users is the .10 cent per minute plan. That would make the $25 prepaid card usable for 250 airtime minutes within a (90 day) or 3 month period. This plan offers no texting; no data; just nationwide calling. As with all Gophone plans, to remain on any given plan rate, you must upload prepaid minutes into your account within 2 days prior to the expiration date from when the perpaid card was activated.

It all depends on which package you purchase. Some come with minutes, while others don't.

I asked my son, who bought this card, and your question was more technical than he could answer. Sorry we couldn't help.

No, you have to buy a card, but mine came with double minutes for life. IE a 60 minute card is good for 120 minutes!

You'll have to activate it using your land-line phone or via web browser. (It's not difficult.) Your phone (I believe) comes with 20 minutes of airtime upon activation. You can buy airtime at Walmart or online as well. A 60-phone-minute purchase yields 180-minutes and so forth with the triple minutes for life bonus.

It depends on how it was originally purchased. However it is normally an add-on card and relatively inexpensive. I would doubt that this one comes with one.

I just went to the Walmart site and they don't mention that little fact until the very end of the description, way down on the page! I would imagine they are getting tons of complaints about this because people will most certainly unknowingly buy it without realizing, and it says there are no returns. How are they getting away with this? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tmobile-30-Wireless-Airtime-Card/15443357#rr I also looked on the T-mobile site (they are my carrier) and they do have that same plan listed and says it is available exclusively at Walmart and T-mobile, but it DOES NOT say it can only be used on phones purchased there or at Walmart.

PREPAID only. Some deals have $10.00 airtime but one usually hasto buy time packages. After a year, you can have it unlocked.

I cannot answer these questions. My son informed me that his card NEVER worked correctly and I wish he told me that sooner.

You do need the card. I bought mine without the card and as soon as you turn it on it asks for the card.

I'm really not sure. It was something that I didn't purchase. Someone else used my card and purchased it. I will try to find out. She might have returned it. When and if I find out I will let you know.

No. It comes with a 200 minute card, which when tripled equals 600 total minutes.

Using trac phone i am deducted .30 mins per 1 single page text. Many service providers out there, all have different charges. For my needs trac phone works. My phone gives triple mins on any card i buy, and that works for me. $20 200 x 3 600 mins lasts a while, can't beat it. John

it's good for one whole year, then you need to buy air time as well. Most cards come with minutes AND air time, which is fine by us, it ADDS the air time to the existing time you have, so for instance..if you buy minutes and get 90 days of air time, you then would have a year and 90 days. Make sense?? We love our trac phones, and with double minutes or even triple minutes...how can you go wrong? especially if you don't text or stuff like that. This is the perfect phone, it's thicker, bigger keys etc. My husband loves his!!!! Hope this helps!

It stated on the package, 'double minutes for life'. I didnt know how that worked but i purchased a 120 minute card at Wallmart and when I entered the pin it in fact show as 240 minutes.
