The number can be renewed.
What are seed SIM cards?

I received the SIM card, it definitely works, not DOA! It was a full SIM card unpunched from the SIM carrier.
I confirmed it was indeed 5,000. BIS is working through it.

On the Tmo website, it is listed as a Flex account. 5,000 whenever minutes, unlimited weekends and nights. Some other options as well. I was able to register my account for this SIM with TMo, in my name, my address, etc., and set up email easily as any other TMo account I have had.

The is SIM is good for 30 days only, after which you may continue the plan, it appears for $139/month (not bad price either) OR you can drop that SIM, get another from the seller, insert and have the number on the new SIM changed to the previous.

So... great price for 5,000 minutes if you use that much in one month (or a large portion of it).

Is it legit? It worked for me, and I can only speak of my experience. The seller, coyob, has answered all my emails timely and kindly, and seems quite decent. I would hope that it remain that way for other users of this forum should other wish to purchase.

If anyone has a question of me, please ask.

Thanks for the run down and taking one for the team Jsand!

If I were in the market I'd feel more comfortable doing through my carrier than this way but I am sure others would find this thread useful and beneficial to their needs.

My only issue with this is what if he runs outta cards and you need to then go sign a contract or something. Now if you had the money upfront to stockpile a year or 2 then there you.

True, that NC. If I were going to go this route, I would buy at least 6 months worth of cards at one time. Even still though, the continued plan rate of $139/month is pretty darn decent.

Default bulk

Those that would like to purchase in bulk of 10,
I wouldn't mind bringing down the price to $40 per sim

If its easier to purchase 6 months,
I would be willing to go down to $45 per sim.

I think this would make it more fair for the those the purchase in bulk?

Default Common F.A.Q

I'm posting this up because these are most common question that I am receiving. I thought alittle F.A.Q would help.

The sim will be coming with;
myFaves 5000
BlackBerry Unlimited
Hotspot@Home
Mobile to Mobile
SMS/MMS (Texting) unlimited

If you would like the Sidekick, or Unlimited Data plan in place of the BlackBerry Unlimited Plan please note it in your response.

No Contract, No Bills.

The Sim is for valid for 1 month, after the month you can either refill the sim for the full price of 139.99 or purchase another sim at the promotional price of $50 from me.

It is possible to keep you number month to month by request.

if interested,

Please make payments out to [email address] at paypal.com
Sorry, I only take paypal. No check, No money orders. I feel paypal is the safest form of payment for both parties.


Please list your,

Full Name:
Address:
D.O.B (date of birth):
PIN (four digits, all numbers):

Got this info from another forum:

It is a flexpay account type of sim. The agent/dealer will get commission from tmobile after user sign up and use service for 30 days. Therefore, they don't care if you continue to use same plan/service after that 30 days window.

I guess it is pretty much same as you go to local shop sign up from service and get a discounted phone. The agent will need you to sign a subcontract stating that you can't cancel the contract before 181st day or penalty will occur. With tmobile, I think it is 4 months, because my friend is a tmobile agent (not sure it has been changed to longer time or not) After 4 months continous services with tmobile, the agent is careless whether you cancel the service or not, because they got the commission already.

Anyway, it is still a good price for short period of time usage.

Yesssssir,
The only thing is... I'm not a dealer nor a employee so I get no commission.

Rolo I just read several of your posts on a couple different threads....with you being afraid of putting third party apps on your pearl, rather go to the mobile store than this sim and correcting people on english, are you able to go outside and not feel like you might get mugged, killed or the world ending?

wow, there is someone selling these locally with a few additional stipulations. I considered as I am about to start flex pay, however they did not mention that I would have to get a different sim card each month. They also stated that the $50/month would be consistent without any fluctuating cost and requested a $50 setup fee. glad I did not purchase from them.

I'm still researching it, but I am still leaning towards this plan.

Thanks for the info...
