Notes
Why was my last post deleted?
I'm not a reseller nor a retail store.

John Clark 01-19-2008 06:20 PM

Where did you get these? It doesn't sound legit to me.

coyob 01-19-2008 06:26 PM

I've sent JSanders a Trial for a month for review.
Can we wait for his review?
All I am selling are Sims that I've purchased in bulk.

John Clark 01-19-2008 06:32 PM

I don't doubt the cards will work. I only doubt the legitimate acquisition of them. You have no history here except to come here and peddle your sim cards that nobody knows anything about.

hmm... I just recently got my blackberry curve with these post paid sims. i thought it was such a great deal that i purchased in bulk.
Just reselling some here.

You can register it with T-mobile to log online, use the services of customer service. I don't see how these are not legit, but I did not come here to defend myself. I just wanted to share...
Could I have not at least received a warning before my original post was deleted?

Could we wait for JSanders review? I believe our questions may be answered through his review, no?

NCBuckeye 01-19-2008 06:49 PM

If this is legit I am getting a tmobile account in Ohio seeing they aren't here in NC yet.

JSanders 01-19-2008 11:24 PM

I'm willing to let it sit and I will report back.

Anytime something sounds like it is too good to believe, well it is just that.

We don't allow commercial enterprise sales here, and I would hope these were not gotten through illegal means.

John Clark 01-19-2008 11:30 PM

I talked to someone from Tmobile about this and they were unfamiliar with any deals such as this. Very suspect, at the least.

coyob 01-20-2008 05:05 PM

Thank you. Jsanders, you won't be disappointed.

coyob 01-20-2008 08:39 PM

monday
 
sorry jsanders, i said earliest the sim would arrive would be Monday, but i forgot Monday is a holiday.

NCBuckeye 01-21-2008 03:04 PM

So this sim only works for one month? So it is basically a pre-paid plan?

You can keep the same number month to month.

rambo47 01-21-2008 08:47 PM

Pending the review by JSanders, this could be the ticket for traveling with your Blackberry and avoiding those ungodly international data charges. Color me interested.

Rolo1971 01-22-2008 04:35 PM

Sounds shady!!!
If it's too good to be true then it is!

Rolo

JSanders 01-22-2008 04:44 PM

we'll see, awaiting the arrival of the card today

I believe you received your sim card today. Did you get my email reply? if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

BryanHarig 01-23-2008 04:30 AM

AFAIK these SIMs were intended to be distributed when the 8320 launched for review purposes. T-Mobile would include one of these SIMs with an 8320 they give to a reviewer or corporate client.

I certinly cant speak to how these were aquired or what T-Mobile's position on reselling them is, but cards of this type do exist.

Pre-paid Blackberry????

. . . this sounds to me more like seed SIM cards, and if it is then the service and number cannot be renewed.?.?.?

JSanders 01-23-2008 04:36 AM

I have received the SIM, in the mail today. I am planning on getting it up and running tonight.

lol, let's hope i don't "take one" for the community here.

Besides, I am pretty close to powers that be in that type stuff.

John Clark 01-23-2008 05:33 AM

We can always count on JSanders!

The number can be renewed.
What are seed SIM cards?

JSanders 01-23-2008 11:48 PM

I received the SIM card, it definitely works, not DOA! It was a full SIM card unpunched from the SIM carrier.
I confirmed it was indeed 5,000. BIS is working through it.

On the Tmo website, it is listed as a Flex account. 5,000 whenever minutes, unlimited weekends and nights. Some other options as well. I was able to register my account for this SIM with TMo, in my name, my address, etc., and set up email easily as any other TMo account I have had.

The is SIM is good for 30 days only, after which you may continue the plan, it appears for $139/month (not bad price either) OR you can drop that SIM, get another from the seller, insert and have the number on the new SIM changed to the previous.

So... great price for 5,000 minutes if you use that much in one month (or a large portion of it).

Is it legit? It worked for me, and I can only speak of my experience. The seller, coyob, has answered all my emails timely and kindly, and seems quite decent. I would hope that it remain that way for other users of this forum should other wish to purchase.

If anyone has a question of me, please ask.

Rolo1971 01-24-2008 11:31 AM

Thanks for the run down and taking one for the team Jsand! :)

If I were in the market I'd feel more comfortable doing through my carrier than this way but I am sure others would find this thread useful and beneficial to their needs.

NCBuckeye 01-24-2008 03:33 PM

My only issue with this is what if he runs outta cards and you need to then go sign a contract or something. Now if you had the money upfront to stockpile a year or 2 then there you.

JSanders 01-24-2008 03:35 PM

True, that NC. If I were going to go this route, I would buy at least 6 months worth of cards at one time. Even still though, the continued plan rate of $139/month is pretty darn decent.

coyob 01-24-2008 04:43 PM

bulk
 
Those that would like to purchase in bulk of 10,
I wouldn't mind bringing down the price to $40 per sim

If its easier to purchase 6 months,
I would be willing to go down to $45 per sim.

I think this would make it more fair for the those the purchase in bulk?

coyob 01-24-2008 04:46 PM

Sorry, I just realized how terrible my grammar was above. I just woke up to my BlackBerryMessenger.... Still half asleep.

coyob 01-24-2008 04:53 PM

Common F.A.Q
 
I'm posting this up because these are most common question that I am receiving. I thought alittle F.A.Q would help.

The sim will be coming with;
myFaves 5000
BlackBerry Unlimited
Hotspot@Home
Mobile to Mobile
SMS/MMS (Texting) unlimited

If you would like the Sidekick, or Unlimited Data plan in place of the BlackBerry Unlimited Plan please note it in your response.

No Contract, No Bills.

The Sim is for valid for 1 month, after the month you can either refill the sim for the full price of 139.99 or purchase another sim at the promotional price of $50 from me.

It is possible to keep you number month to month by request.

if interested,

Please make payments out to [email address] at paypal.com
Sorry, I only take paypal. No check, No money orders. I feel paypal is the safest form of payment for both parties.


Please list your,

Full Name:
Address:
D.O.B (date of birth):

Got this info from another forum:

It is a flexpay account type of sim. The agent/dealer will get commission from tmobile after user sign up and use service for 30 days. Therefore, they don't care if you continue to use same plan/service after that 30 days window.

I guess it is pretty much same as you go to local shop sign up from service and get a discounted phone. The agent will need you to sign a subcontract stating that you can't cancel the contract before 181st day or penalty will occur. With tmobile, I think it is 4 months, because my friend is a tmobile agent (not sure it has been changed to longer time or not) After 4 months continous services with tmobile, the agent is careless whether you cancel the service or not, because they got the commission already.

Anyway, it is still a good price for short period of time usage.

coyob 01-24-2008 05:04 PM

Yesssssir,
The only thing is... I'm not a dealer nor a employee so I get no commission.

coyob 01-24-2008 05:10 PM

I hope this dispels all myths of it being illegal and what not.

Rolo1971 01-24-2008 07:24 PM

"what not" is not proper grammar! sorry...:)

Rolo I just read several of your posts on a couple different threads....with you being afraid of putting third party apps on your pearl, rather go to the mobile store than this sim and correcting people on english, are you able to go outside and not feel like you might get mugged, killed or the world ending?

conmetal 01-25-2008 04:19 AM

wow, there is someone selling these locally with a few additional stipulations. I considered as I am about to start flex pay, however they did not mention that I would have to get a different sim card each month. They also stated that the $50/month would be consistent without any fluctuating cost and requested a $50 setup fee. glad I did not purchase from them.

I'm still researching it, but I am still leaning towards this plan.

Thanks for the info...

PM sent.

Rolo1971 01-25-2008 11:33 AM

NC, no I am not afraid. I live in Baltimore and carry a BIG GUN! and look for an excuse to use it! Haven't you seen The Wire on HBO? :)
I could use a grammar lesson to. I constantly use "ya'll". Coyob, I am just joshing with ya.

Rolo
PS. It sounds like you may get rid of all your sim cards. Now that Jsand gave his review. Good luck.

Tennvol 01-25-2008 01:12 PM

I hope your'e a LEO of some sort because carrying a gun in MD is a felony.

Rolo1971 01-25-2008 01:39 PM

NO I am just from Texas where carrying a hand gun is legal. Born Texan!!

(for those of you who don't know...this is just a joke I DO NOT OWN OR CARRY a handgun......it AIN'T that serious people....) Humor goes a long way...

Rolo

PS, back on topic...

makedonce 01-26-2008 11:25 PM

SIM card?
 
Is this offer valid for the USA only or can the SIM card be used internationally? Would i be charged for roaming or not?

This forum is great! Now I get lessons in Texas vernacular (y)

So "all y'all" is two or more?

rambo47 01-27-2008 10:18 PM

If one were to buy a SIM now, could one then keep it, unused, and begin the one month period whenever one put the SIM into his Blackberry?

You would have to contact me to activate it. But I have my BB on me 24/7, just email me at [email address] and it should have it activated shortly thereafter.

coyob 01-28-2008 12:04 AM

i heard there's this old law in arizona that a Man must carry his gun with him exposed when in church. TRUE/FALSE? arizonians? texans? anyone with living in states that allow ar15, full-auto's know?

man, have any of you seen that fully auto-glock, that thing is a monster. who needs to have good aim, especially with the drum magazine...

brucewayne 01-28-2008 04:35 AM

Would these sims work in canada?

Rolo1971 01-28-2008 12:02 PM

Dallasflier, You are absolutely correct but I thought everyone knew "all ya'll" is plural. It goes without saying!
East coast folks don't understand me sometimes..... :)

The thread is over a year old.

That could be a clue, for you.
