Which Sim card for $30 Wal Mart ?

[noahj1102]

I've been to 4 Wal Marts and can't find the $30 plan Sim for my sons Nexus 4. I see from the pinned thread above, but I'm wanting to confirm the correct Sim because I was told by the Wally World associate the only one that will work can be purchased from wal mart.

So, just confirming nothing has changed and I can buy the Sim online and activate it for my Nexus 4.

You can buy a SIM card on the T-Mobile site and use it with the $30 plan:

You pick your plan during activation.

So the idiot at wal mart is wrong? I called T Mo and they told me I couldn't do this.

And to confirm, I'm taking about the 100 minute and unlimited data and text.

All you should need is a prepaid micro sim. This can be ordered online and then follow the instructions that come in the sim kit and select the $30 dollar plan when activating the card. T-Mobile support cannot do this since the plan can only be activated online. A weird situation, but it is what it is.

OK, thanks. I'm just curious as to why TMo told me I couldn't do that? They are saying I could only use the Sim from Walmart.

T-mobile employees either pretend or really don't know about this plan. I got blank faces at the store when I asked about it. LOL
