Hey guys I am sure this has been asked but don't have too much time to read. Trying help my friend get a tablet before going to Afghanistan. Need to know which model has SIM card slot and is unlocked to use other SIM card. WiFi and LAN line plans suck there and the local companies have 3g and is cheaper. Let me know thanks.

Hey guys, I've been with Virgin Mobile, a prepaid subsidary of Sprint for a few years now. Virgin Mobile phones don't have SIM cards, so I've never delt with those before. I found out that T-Mobile has a prepaid service plan for the same price as my current plan, and I am wanting to switch over to them because I feel that Virgin Mobile has an appalling lack of good (or decent, for that matter) android phones. Here are a few of my questions:
1. Can I use a T-Mobile SIM card in any Unlocked phone? Even phones on another carrier such as Verizon or AT&T?
2. Is there a difference between T-Mobiles Pre-paid SIM cards and their contract SIM cards?
3. Would I have to get my phone / SIM card unlocked before I can use it in another phone?
Thanks for any help you can offer me.
Bump?

Perpaid sim cards do not differ from contract sim cards.
Your sim card will work in most unlocked phones from other carriers. Verizon uses CDMA technology, and does not use a sim card, but they do have a few world phones with sim card slots.
I've never used a prepaid plan, so I'm not sure as to which devices will be compatible. From what I understand, (I could be wrong), iPhones and Blackberry devices are the only devices not compatible with prepaid sim cards.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello, I brought a HTC HD7S unlocked version from Amazon. When I first got the phone, I put a AT&T prepaid sim card into the phone, it works well. However, because I need to modify the Live ID, I reset the phone to the factory setting. And then, bad things happened. When I put a AT&T prepaid sim card, it said, the SIM card is missing or invalid. When I put another AT&T prepaid sim card, it still did not work. However, when I put a AT&T family plan card into my phone, it works well. So what`s the problem and how can I use a AT&T prepaid sim instead of the family plan sim card ??
Best wishes for everyone
Help anyone who knows the answer . Thank you so much
Hey guys,
So I'll be traveling overseas in December and was wondering if I could just pop in a tmobile sim card and use my phone overseas. I remember reading somewhere that the Droid Ultra/Maxx can be used by simply popping in an ATT sim card, is the same true for tmobile? I figured tmobile would be my best bet as I'm traveling to Germany.
Anyways, thanks for the help!
I put a tmo USA sim in without trouble awhile back.

Only thing is that it has a nano SIM, so you'll have to cut it. Otherwise no issues, mine works with AT&T fine.
Folks, just a question here as I have contemplated switching phones, I have someone who has a almost new HTC One M8 from Sprint and they are wanting to sell it relatively cheap, I'm with Verizon using a Iphone 5S with sim card, is it possible to purchase the phone and stick my sim card into it and having it work on the Verizon network and get LTE?
I know they are both CDMA carriers but wasn't sure.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

It *should* work but you may be limited to 3g
Hi everyone, I intend to buy this phone from Walmart (selling at $150) and use it internationally with GSM carriers. However, the Walmart version is a prepaid phone in a prepaid specified box and someone on Youtube (who did a review video for this version) told me that this one does not have a sim card slot which make me feel so confusing. I would really appreciate if anyone who know about this matter can help me to clarify it.
Thank you so much.
the verizon prepaid version does not use gsm towers
you can only use cdma carriers

The other difference is the prepaid version doesn't use a sim card and the contract version does use a sim card
