STRICTLY ONLINE SPECIAL ONLY

STRICTLY LIMITED STOCK

We are offering our premium seller, the $80 USA UNLIMITED Prepaid SIM Card (T-Mobile), for 50% off T-Mobile's RRP.

The same USA pack would cost you $100USD (approx $115AUD) if purchased from a T-Mobile store in USA - as they charge you at least $10 for the sim card and $10 for the International Talk feature. Therefore you would be saving approximately $60 based off the USA retail pricing. We have currently been retailing this Unlimited Prepaid Sim for $80 as we haven't been charging for the sim card or the International Talk Feature as shown below.

So What Do You Get With This Offer?

  • Free USA T-Mobile Sim Card
  • Unlimited local talk & text within USA (No extra local charges for 30 days)
  • Unlimited 4G Data on your phone
  • Mobile hotspot and Tethering available (Hotspotting/tethering is capped at 5GB but will still be Unlimited on your phone).
  • Nationwide Coverage, including Hawaii
  • Unlimited International calls to landlines to over 75 countries (Includes Australia)
  • Unlimited International texts to over 200 countries (Includes Australia)
  • No Extra Charges to receive calls or send text overseas

*The sim does not come with any credit for calls to International mobiles. Top-Up/Refill vouchers for calls to International Mobiles can be obtained directly from T-Mobile either online or in-store. You can also purchase top-up vouchers from many convenience stores and retailers in the USA. Calls to Australian mobiles from the USA are $0.20 per minute with T-Mobile. If you purchase a $10 refill/top-up voucher, you will get approximately an hour of call time to an Australian mobile.

*Check website for details on which other countries are cover for free landline calls and texting.

How Long does it last?

The Prepaid plan last 30 days from when you arrive in USA. These cards can be recharged online or at any various T-Mobile stores after the initial first month.

      The same USA pack would cost you $100USD (approx $115AUD) if purchased from a T-Mobile store in USA

    • bund90 on 05/11/2014 - 23:52

      AUD vs USD

    • jaero115 on 06/11/2014 - 01:36

      Hidden costs are the SIM itself and the phone plan. These retailers never tell you until you sign up. Advertised as the $80 plan but as the oP said works out to be approximately 50% off.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 06/11/2014 - 09:27

      Hi accessdenied

      The same pack in USA is $100USD as you would pay;
      1) $80 USD for the plan
      2) $10 USD for the International feature which allows you to call back to International landlines
      3) $10 USD for the sim card.

      If you convert that to AUD the same pack would cost your $115 in the USA

      Hopefully that clears the misunderstanding.

  • Gorodemon on 05/11/2014 - 23:10

    Hi Rep, do you have any cheaper 3G sim card package? I checked T-Mobile's network and they're using 1700Mhz band for their 4G network. My iPhone 5 A1429 and Samsung Galaxy i9506 use 1800 and 1900 Mhz for 4G. connection. That means I can only use 3G and won't be getting 4G speed when using my mobiles on their network.

    It's like buying a Ferrari and drive it on Australian's freeways where you're gonna be stuck behind a Falcodore on gas doing 99 km/h, hogging the right lane. TLDR ; what's the point? Cheers!

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 07/11/2014 - 08:19

      Hi Gorodemon,

      T-Mobile over the last 2 years have refarmed alot of their 2G to 4G on the 1900Mhz band in most major cities.

      As stated above USA's definition of 4G is different to everyone else in the world. The 1900Mhz band will get you HSPA+ speeds (3.5G).

      Hope the above helps.

    Thanks!

    • datty on 06/11/2014 - 08:55

      You select the SIM size when you go to check out.

      We have all the size sim cards in stock. When you go to our website, and as you are about to make the purchase, there is a drop down box requesting which size sim card you wish to obtain (in your case the micro size sim card).

    What happens after a month? Can I still recharge? What's the minimum I need to recharge to get the same usage package? I would be there for two months.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 07/11/2014 - 00:13

      Hi LsYu

      Yes you can recharge/refill the sim card for another month. You do not need to recharge the same package in the second month, if you wish you can downgrade your plan and go on one of the lower priced plans.

      Sim cards can be easily refilled via the T-Mobile website, or at a T-Mobile store, or via calling T-Mobile Customer service.

  • cheapies on 06/11/2014 - 12:36

    Very good deal. About to purchase one online from you for my trip on Feb 6 to LA (Air NZ deal) but can you please confirm if it will work with an Australian HTC One (M7) or on the latest iPhone6 mobile? IF it's not 4G compatible, I'm happy to use the 3G features on it (if that works as well).

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 07/11/2014 - 08:27

      Hi Cheapies,

      It will work on the HTC One and iPhone 6 model.

      You will be able to get T-Mobile's 4G speed on both (please note USA have 4G and then 4GLTE which is even faster).

      The iPhone 6 should work better as it has many more frequencies/bands so you might even be able to access 4G LTE instead of just 4G. As stated above USA's definition of 4G is different to the rest of the world. Their 4G = HSPA+ speeds (approx 3.5G).

  • rbenko123 on 06/11/2014 - 14:25

  • SBOB on 06/11/2014 - 18:03

    need some sim cards for our trip next Feb, but the two phones we have are the Nexus5(D821 version) and OnePlus One (chinese version) so it seems t-mobile would be a pretty poor choice..

    Your 'GoRedPocket' sims use the At&t network which would be better.. is there anything stopping those sims working in phones if we only want data access?

    • 89tnp on 06/11/2014 - 21:34

      Why would t-mobile be a poor choice for the Nexus5?

      Also when you recharge after 30 days, are you getting the same deal?

      • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 07/11/2014 - 08:38

        Hi 89tnp,

        No, you definitely won't be getting the same deal. When recharging you have to go directly through T-Mobile either online, at their store or call them over the phone to recharge. They will then charge their prices which will be in USA and in Full price.

        If you are going for well over 30 days then take advantage of the deal and grab 2 and just provide different arrival date for the second sim based on when you would like it activated.

        Remember, if you got this sim in the USA it will cost you approx $115AUD so realistically you would be getting 2 for the price of one.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 07/11/2014 - 08:35

      Hi SBOB,

      If you are mainly traveling to major cities then the Nexus5 (D821 version) has the 1900mhz band on HSDPA which will get you access to T-Mobiles 4G speeds which as described above will be HSPA+ speeds. This goes the same with your OnePlusOne.

      If you had the international version of the OnePlus One you probably would have got access to T-Mobile's LTE speeds.

      Unfortunately, the RedPocket sims we stock won't work in phones. I recommend getting a sim for either of your phones if you are going to major cities. If you are traveling to mainly rural areas then you may need to look at picking up an AT&T sim when you are there in the USA.

      • SBOB on 07/11/2014 - 09:10

        SimCorner

        I am travelling to San Francisco, down to Los Angeles and also Anaheim

        Are you aware whether these all fall under the '1900MHz' spectrum?
        Im not to fussed on the speed of the data, as long as its quick enough for navigation/maps and apps like tripadvisor and urbanspoon then ill be happy ;)

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 07/11/2014 - 09:42

          Within the actual cities or towns themselves SanFran, L.A. and Anaheim you will be fine.

          If you are driving to get to each one of the places then outside the cities the coverage will be more limited on the long stretch highways that run through non populated areas.

          Hope the above helps.
