Where may I buy a SIM card for this phone for the Net10 "pay as you go" plan? Or how to differentiate between the monthly plan vs pay as you go SIM cards? Thanks.

Once you sign up with Net10 they can send you one. I can't remember if one comes in the box as well or not. The prepaid plan is all I have used with them and not sure if they have pay-after-use plan or not.

When you buy this phone brand new it already comes with a SIM card in it. All you need to do is activate it. You can do that online or with a landline phone. There will be instructions with the literature that comes with the phone. Monthly plan and pay as you go, as you refer to, has nothing to do with the SIM card. Once you've activated the phone and have your new phone number with this phone you can either go online at the Net10 website to purchase your minutes or plans, or you can go to stores like pharmacies, grocery stores, walmart, radioshack, etc. to also buy these cards for minutes or plans. A Net10 minutes card or plan card is not the same as a SIM card. A SIM card is a tiny computer chip-like object inside the phone near the battery when you take off the back cover you can see this. A Net10 minute card or plan card from the store is a plastic card the size and shape of a drivers license and has a number code on the back that has a scratch off surface that you scratch with a penny to see the number code and there are directions on the card to tell you how to use it and add it to your phone. If you go online to buy minutes or plans it costs just the same as if you were to buy a Net10 card at the store, plus its easy to do from home and once you confirm your purchase online the minutes arrive on your phone instantaneously. I buy the 600 minutes for 45 dollars every two to three months and I don't buy plans because I don't use my phone all the time like a teenager lol The Net10 Samsung T401G is a great basic phone with camera and keyboard, plus you can't beat the price on

You could try www.net10.com, WalMart, Best Buy, Dollar General, etc. A Net 10 Sim card would work for either pay as you go, or an automatic plan.

With your phone unlocked you can use persay an AT&T; phone on your net 10 service I came to net 10 with my I phone 4 that I got with a plan from AT&T.; Switched to net10 before the AT&T; plan was over and they didn't mess with the phone at all since then I've had the net10service for almost 6 months now

First to the dude who wrote about batteries...what? That in no way was related to the question....you are awarded no points and may god have mercy on your soul. Okay...Net10, I believe, uses both GSM and CDMA so yes...pop in a Net10 Sim card (full size not mini) and you should be Good to Go.

Yes, mine came with a SIM card also but it's the SIM card for using the unlimited plan. Whether it's a net10 phone unlimited or bring your own phone you have to use the unlimited plan with this SIM. I had to find that out when I was shopping around. I didn't know there were 2 different kind of SIM's. It works good though since I needed the unlimited SIM. Hope that helped and was clear.

This is such an old phone You should buy a newer model. I haven't used that phone in like 18 months. Mine was for tracfone not net 10. Both are owned by the same company but the tracfone rates are the best and cheapest. I now have a Samsung Galaxy smart tracfone and pay like $7.22 a month for it with plenty of time phone, data, and text left over.

I had to directly call Net10. They ended up sending me a new SIM card and about a week after I got the phone I received the new SIM. It is working fine now.

These sim cards arent active. Once you receive them you have to add money and call the company to activate them. Im currently using the $25 plan. Unlimited calls and sms/mms. If you want to use the web I believe its starts at $40 for everything.

I don't believe AT&T has sim cards. I already had T-mobile service, so that is why I selected that vendor. You can choose any vendor that issues sim cards. as for basic line services, should be like 10$/month. The unit will accept line lines if you already have one, but if lan line is cut by intruder or service is down, the unit will not call out.

yes but you have to purchase a sim card 18 bucks but you have to order a sim card in anything you do in straight talk but net 10 is the same company and the 50 a month will reduce after first time to 45 if you go to automatic withdraw

>> F. Robinson says:>> I use this phone with T-Mobile, I have the pay as you go >> plan with unlimited data, So I couldn't tell you what they will bill you for.I have the vanilla prepaid plan. Does this phone require a data plan for the GPS to work?

Don't go with Net10; they cheated us even when you get unlimited and they cut your data after you reach ~2GB. I don't think I even use 1GB, and our phone got cut off every time. We use to have 4 phone with them, but cancel after three months. I stay away from Net10. what you have there ($50 Net10 refill) is not a SIM; you need a SIM with Net10 also.

At the risk of sounding dumb here, what's a sim card? I've had a very low-end motorolla phone for the last few years on my go-phone plan. Does every phone have a sim card, and are they able to work when you go from one brand of phone to another? Thanks again.

It's not pay as you go. I bought it for the same purpose, to use with an existing Verizon contract.

Yes,because it comes without a SIM card.....I am using a 'pay as you go' SIM

As others have said, you get a SIM card from whatever provider you want to use. The key is that it must be a GSM provider, like AT&T; or Tmobile. There are also other GSM regional carriers out there but those are the national ones. I found the AT&T; plans better than Tmobile.

I used the pay as you go 10 cents per minute plan. I did not register it as a 'smart' phone since I did not want data. I already had a sim card for the plan and simply transferred the card into this phone.
