How can I use my cell phone with a T-Mobile SIM card?

Question

Hi,

I'm a Vietnamese student coming to USA to study. I bring with me a NOKIA 2630 cell phone from Vietnam. But I don't know how to buy a SIM card in America and how to use it.


I found this SIM activation kit on T-Mobile website:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/Detail.aspx?class=prepaid&device=53299206-c069-429a-82fa-000007a2ac12

Can you tell me what an "SIM card activation kit" is? How to use it? After slipping this SIM card into my cell phone, how can I register for T-Mobile's one plan or another plan that I like? I don't see any information about prepaid services on the web page above.


And what about this SIM card? I don't understand what they say?

And here is another SIM card for sale:

Take a look at it. There are two options: Pay as you go and Pay by the day. But they don't let me choose the option when purchasing? So how to choose one option? How do I know which option I will use with the SIM card if I buy it?

Thanks. I'm very new to the US, and I'm really worried now. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 3

Sorry but each phone is locked to uses specifically with their own sim card. You will not find any other cell phone company that will work with a boost mobile sim card. Unless the cell phone is unlocked and uses GSM network then perhaps your boost mobile sim card will work.

Answer 4

buy any sim card and get your phone unlocked so you can use it on any network
