I didn’t buy this for a phone. I bought it because I went down the rabbit hole of importing an LTE cat tracking collar from overseas, assumed any SIM would work, and learned the hard way that “LTE-only” and “LTE + 4G fallback” are not the same thing in real life. This SIM is the one that actually solved the problem. ⸻ The Backstory: When “LTE Only” Isn’t Enough The first SIM card I tried was marketed as LTE-only. On paper, that sounded perfect. In practice, the tracker connected inconsistently, dropped signal indoors, and failed to register reliably on the network. That’s when I realized the issue wasn’t the collar — it was the SIM. A lot of imported IoT and GPS devices say LTE, but they rely on 4G LTE fallback compatibility to stay connected in real-world conditions. Without that, activation becomes unreliable or flat-out impossible. That’s where SpeedTalk came in. ⸻ Activation: Surprisingly Painless I expected activation to be annoying. It wasn’t. The SIM arrived quickly, and the activation process was straightforward: • Insert SIM • Activate online • Device recognized the network almost immediately No weird APN hunting. No multi-hour troubleshooting. The tracker went from “occasionally online” to consistently connected. That alone justified the purchase. ⸻ Network Compatibility: The Real Value Here The biggest reason this worked where the other SIM didn’t is network flexibility. SpeedTalk supports: • 5G • 4G LTE • LTE fallback That matters a lot for small tracking devices that: • Move in and out of coverage • Spend time indoors • Don’t have strong antennas Once installed, the collar stayed connected in situations where it previously dropped off — indoors, near buildings, and during movement. For a pet tracker, reliability matters more than speed. This delivers that. ⸻ Plan Limits: Perfect for Tracking, Not Phones Let’s be clear: this is not a phone plan. • 100 minutes • 100 texts • 100 MB of data • 30 days For a smartphone, that’s nothing. For a GPS/LTE tracker, it’s ideal. The data usage on a collar is minimal — small pings, periodic updates, low bandwidth. This plan provides more than enough headroom without paying for data you’ll never use. And at $5? It’s hard to argue with the value. ⸻ SIM Format: No Guesswork The triple-cut SIM matters more than it sounds. Imported devices are notorious for using odd SIM trays. Being able to punch out mini, micro, or nano without ordering another card saved me time and frustration. Dropped it in, fit perfectly. ⸻ Stability Over Time After setup: • No random disconnects • No surprise deactivations • No missed updates It just works quietly in the background — which is exactly what you want from something you’re trusting to help you locate a living animal. You don’t want to think about the SIM. You want to forget it exists. ⸻ Who This Is Actually For This plan is perfect if: • You’re activating a GPS or LTE tracker • You’re using an imported or IoT-style device • You need LTE + 4G fallback • You want the cheapest functional option that actually works Not ideal if: • You want to use this as a daily phone SIM • You need high data usage • You expect unlimited anything This is a tool, not a lifestyle plan. ⸻ Pros • Works with LTE trackers that need fallback support • Extremely affordable monthly cost • Easy activation • Triple-cut SIM fits almost anything • Reliable connection for low-data devices Cons • Not suitable for smartphone use • Limited data (by design) • No frills or extras ⸻ Final Thoughts: The SIM That Solved the Problem I went through more effort than I expected trying to activate a cat tracking collar that should have worked out of the box. This SIM is the piece that made everything click. If you’re dealing with a GPS tracker, pet collar, or imported LTE device that refuses to behave, this plan is worth trying before you assume the hardware is broken. It’s cheap, reliable, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do — quietly and consistently. Sometimes that’s the best kind of product.

This card is very difficult to activate online. I don't know about calling it in but going through the activation process online was an arduous, glitchy task and the SpeedTalk Store website was not very clear, with additional and often convoluted instructions popping up over top of the forms you are attempting to fill out. No exaggeration, it took me FIVE ATTEMPTS before all my information got processed. If it wasn't one thing it was another, including having to have a PIN password sent to my email 3x, and having to input the amazon transation number as proof(??) I was the purchaser! WHY? The process froze several times and when I backed up a screen to fix my input, all the previous information disappeared and I had to input every single field all over again. On top of that they want your life story and practically a DNA sample all just to start up a 1 month no contract quickie account. If you're not paying close attention, when you finally click the final OK, there's a box checked that says yes you want to autopay each month. I was so flustered by the time I got to that point (over an hour of wrestling with what should have been a QUICK, SIMPLE FORM) I hit OK before I realized it. I will probably use this phone for more than a month, but I really despise autopay and now I have to figure out how to turn it off. This is just for a secondary, temporary back-up phone for travel and I don't plan on using it very long. And now I have the added hassle of figuring out how to terminate autopay instead of just not paying for it anymore when I'm done with it. The random phone number that it gave me came with a lot of "baggage." First of all it still has the previous owner's identity attached to it, and I'm getting texts and calls on it from the moment I got it for this other person. Secondly it must already be on a ton of spam lists because I get texts and calls all day long for salons, car warranties, credit card debt relief, etc. which is ANNOYING AF. No exaggeration, I'm blacklisting 5-6 numbers a day. I have gotten T-Mobile no-contract new phone activation & service sim cards for $5-$10 before from other companies, and I never had this much spam garbage with the "new" number before. Nor have I ever gotten a "new" number with the previous user's personal information still attached to it. I'm sure the previous user would love to know that I know their full name and street address. This company is super shady and now they have all my personal info and credit card information, my email, and my amazon purchase info, and they have burdened me with a phone number that is basically a vehicle to incessantly advertise a ton of junk. Nor is this a "fresh" number. In fact I got this cheap phone and new number specifically to communicate ONLY with my husband, and yet it's ringing constantly throughout the day but it's not him. This company is NOT WORTH IT. You're paying $5 to be on a spam list and give them all your personal info. I never had to activate a phone card with a PIN through my email or the transaction number from amazon before! The T-Mobile service is fine, but AVOID SPEEDTALK and get it through another company! Oh yes I forgot to mention that this company offers you one month free if you give them a 5 star review on amazon, take a screenshot of it and send it to them. LOL!! I wonder why they have to try to BUY good reviews?! I don't need your $5, SPEEDTALK. Here's your 1 star review, though. It's actually zero stars if I could rate it that low.

Speedtalk is perfect for seniors who use a phone for talking (and for the gifted, maybe a text or two). I am in my eighties and have no use for Facebook, TikTok, etc. I only use this phone when I leave home in case I need help. You get 100 minutes of talk a month for only $5. I found the phone very easy to activate. I did buy a very good phone. A Moto 5G (unlocked), which is a great phone. I don’t see how you can beat this deal. Thank you SPEEDTALK!!
