TracFone Bring Your Own Phone SIM Activation Kit (3-in-1-SIM)

I had my choice of 3 main carrier towers in my area AT&T, Verizon (this kit) or the T-Mobile kit. As others have stated there are 2 Sims for each of the two carrier towers that comes in the kit and one is a nano and the second is a standard that can be broken down to a micro size. Thus 3 sizes for each of 2 carriers per kit. I chose the AT&T GSM 4G LTE Sim broken down to a micro for my unlocked Moto G4 Play.The first try at activation was on New Years eve, but the website responded with a call customer service error - I tried a few times. Calling the number ended with a we're closed today in the 4th level of the automated menu tree, because I think it was New Years day where the customer support center is located - India I'm guessing based on accents. The next day I tried again and it disabled my old phone, brought the old phones number over to the new phone, but all I had was a fast busy signal. A call to customer service and they asked me to wait 4-24 hours, so I went a day without any phone service since they disabled my transferring phone. I kind of expected that, since they are a discount sub carrier and don't have a brick and mortar presence. If you can't handle that you can always pay for the extra service you get with the main carriers and go to their store and have them do the work. Again, remember it was a holiday.The next day I called and they forwarded me to a technical service rep and he immediately saw the problem and had it working in about 15 minutes. I ended the technical service call after the phone was both dialing and receiving calls and texts. All seemed well until I noticed my attachments would not send from the messenger (text) though they did work in the Email application. For awhile I thought well I can live with that but then I remembered a message from Tracfone in the pile of messages that had come in the day prior when trying to self activate over the web. It told me I had to make sure my APN contained a specific line. I had the line less four characters at the location specified, so edited my APN, which I had never done before added the 4 missing characters in the middle of the line and then my attachments started working after a reboot.Okay it wasn't perfect or fast, but it worked and the service is great now. Think of it as a couple extra hoops with less customer hand holding for the same, but lower cost service. I have no problem giving 5 stars for both the product and the service it represents.

TracFone Bring Your Own Phone SIM Activation Kit - Retail Packaging - Tracfone has really stepped up its customer service and resolution services. A much different company from a couple of years ago when my wife decided it was time to leave Virgin Mobile behind after its USA operations were purchased by Sprint. Tracfone's change may be from its relationship with WalMart also providing in-store assistance with activations. The kit was complete with three different cards to fit probably any smartphone. It is probably best to call if you are new to Tracfone. Be sure to have your Phone Number, Password and Account Number. Companies like Virgin MobileUSA don't let the customer know there is a separate account number so they can route to customer retention. As it is, Virgin MobileUSA has asked if switching is the reason on the four phones we have transferred. (BTW - Tracfone and Straight Talk are same company.) The price is resonable and may be less on Tracfone site. However, it may be less but also have a requirement that lower price is only with purchase of card that may not fit your needs. I have bought two for two Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phones February 2015. Service was changed to new phones in under three hours on both, with 4G LTE data service. Our daughter finally decided to leave Virgin also and her phone was transferred in under 30 minutes Sunday afternoon 07/31/2016.Card blocks Internet Sharing function. (Tracfone will direct you to Straight Talk Wi-Fi hotspot device and need to purchace data only.) It does allow you to use a mobile device with VPN application. (Using Bluetooth with an encryted VPN [Vitual Private Network] to connect Internet with laptop, tablet, etc.) Many apps to choose from.Tracfone also has great specials that are not in stores or displayed on site. You do have to call to get these. Did you know you can buy a pack of 1000 messages for $5 +tax, or data for Windows Phones (only Android Phones in stores) for $10 +tax per 1 GB or less? Did not ask about larger GB or message packages because of low demand. These do not multiply as with cards but are an alternative based on personal usage. Tracfone bring your phone is a great value for us, even when compared to discounts from AARP perferred Consumer Cellular (only a 5% discount for AARP members).So far I have not found anything this SIM card does not allow, except aforementioned Internet sharing. I run accounts for Hotmail, Oultlook, Outlook Exchange (Business Account - May require use of Workplace function verification before adding in on email function), OneDrive, OneDrive Business, Drop Box, Personal Cloud File Server, Office Remote, Wells Fargo app, and others.

Perfect

Can't use it on ANYTHING wish I knew that before ordering. I mean like not on any phone. I volunteer at a family violence emergency help center. When a woman comes in who has been abused the first thing we do is give her a cell phone so that she could at least call 911. Even if a cell phone is not activated as long as you can turn it on you can call 911 so when I saw that I could get the Sim cards for relatively inexpensive I thought it would be a great idea to be able to offer them to women to help them get back on their feet especially want to comes to finding a job and things of that nature. People donate their old phones to us so we have boxes of them some that are very out of date and some that are newer and nicer than my phone I tried the Sim card in all of them. None of them worked with it. Keep in mind these are all unlocked phones with varying styles from flip phones to smart phones and even those really cheap block styled Nokia's from the 90s. If anyone happens to have activated Sim cards or an old cell phone they would like to send please contact anyone at Northwest assistant ministries in Houston Texas. The concept and idea of giving these women a safety net that could literally be life saving is one that is seriously under implemented. It would be nice to see companies like TracFone who do you have the technology to help out causes like this, get on board. I'm very disappointed that this purchase did not work out but I'm glad I only bought two of them. I initially was going to buy several more but my husband said just get a couple and see if it works first. I'll never admit this to him but I sure am glad that I listen to him.
