Title: Excellent.
Review: I have a relative coming from Germany this week. She asked for a SIM card to use while staying in the States. I have no idea of how to have it done for her. The word prepaid card came up in my mind and I ended up with this card vendor.I would strongly recommend using this SIM card vendor, ignoring other negative reviews that scared me in first few readings.The activation process was smooth and easy. Just take a picture of the back of the SIM card with all numbers printed on it, The next day I received the vendor email inform me that the card is ready to use and provide the actual phone line number.It's easy as 1-2-3 I can't complain of anything. Highly recommend this vendor product if you need one.

Title: Company will not activate the Sim card nor give me the balance I paid for
Review: I have arrived in the US and needed the Sim card with internet for obvious reasons.The instructions stuck to the inside of the envelope, so I inserted the Sim card into my phone and tried to activate it. It did not work.After going back to the hotel, I finally found the strange instructions and sent them the card picture by email. I only received an answer the day after they said they couldn't activate it because I used the Sim card. Since the SIM card does not have internet nor is able to complete calls, of course I didn't use it. The company advised me to call to T-Mobile and to activate the ship over them. T-Mobile told me that I have zero balance and that I have to put additional credit if I need to use the SIM card. Alternatively, they told me to ask for a electronic credit from the company I paid the the SIM card and I did so by email. I have never received a response from them, it's been more than three days in a foreign country without good telephone service, and the company is ignoring me. It looks like I have beans camped for $28. I have no other alternative than try to return the SIM card, because nobody relies the emails.I should have paid more attention to the reviews.

Title: This is a scam. 2G-only
Review: TL;DRTHIS IS A SCAM - GET A REFUND FROM AMAZON (worked for me)Don't believe the Q&A on this page. There is NO high-speed data available on this card. Only 2G. If you need anything else, you have to get this package directly from TMO (for roughly double the price at time of writing). TMO directly will have 5G.It will look like a technical issue to users with no knowledge of how mobile networks behave technically because when you move from one cell tower to another, it can sometimes take TMO a couple of minutes to correctly limit your speed to what the seller of this card is paying them for. This results in short intervals of 4G/5G availability. However, this card is only enabled for 2G and once that cell tower has checked in with the central database to see if the SIM is eligible to use 4G/5G, it will block any and all connections using those technologies (even emergency calls).The tech support from the seller plays the con by giving you lists of things to do (with 48h+ response times), none of which will ever work because they have contracted only 2G for the SIM they sold you. They know this and THEY ARE LYING TO YOU. They hope you don't figure it out until it is too later (ie before Amazon's return window closes) or just blame yourself for not figuring it out or your phone for not working. But it is 100% THE SELLERS FAULT!
