      To answer your questions:

      1. Yes, you will get it before Friday if you select Express post.

      2. No, you will not have any problems using it with your Samsung S4.

      3. Yes, you will get coverage in all these areas. You can check the coverage map in our description which will allow you to search each city and confirm Excellent coverage.

      4. Yes. All you have to do is insert the sim card in your phone when you arrive in the USA. You will be required to provide your arrival date when you purchase your sim online so that SimCorner can activate the sim card accordingly.

      Should you have any other queries, please let us know.

        Rep,

        Australian Models Samsung Galaxy S4 & S4 4G (LTE) do not support 1700mhz AWS which is what T-mobile USA primarily use for their DC-HSPA+ network that they brand as "4G" (For reference, Australia refers to this as 3G or 3.5G).

        Luckily the S4 does support 1900mhz HSPA+, which is a luxury - not many Australian phones do.

        Chongy288 will be lucky to get patchy 1900mhz HSPA+ 3G 'up to' 21Mbps, patchy 2G roaming and patchy roaming onto 850mhz HSPA+ 3G 'up to' 21Mbps on AT&T. His phone supports just a fraction of the bands which T-mobile USA has to offer, and the bands he has is not the main ones in use so it will be quite limited to major areas.

        He would have better 3/3.5G coverage on AT&T with this phone, but still with no 4G LTE.

        Most Australian Phones don't support 1700mhz AWS or 1900mhz HSPA+ either, a good portion supports 850mhz but not all. I am not aware of any Australian market phones that support USA-compatible 4G LTE.

          Thanks The Land of Smeg,

          It looks like you are right in regards to the Samsung Galaxy S4 not receiving the 4G LTE Speeds. You will only get 4G Speeds (HSPA+ Speeds).

          We are very sorry, this is an error made on my end. We will look to put something in the description to hopefully make things a bit more clearer for customers.

          Sorry again for the error.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2014 - 10:25

          @SimCorner: But you would not get any T-mobile "4G" (non-LTE version) either! T-mobile "4G" (non-LTE) uses 1700 AWS band which Galaxy S4 doesn't have either. Only some patches of 3G 1900mhz will work and roaming on 2G or AT&T 850mhz (which isn't even the full AT&T spectrum - it is also in patches).

          I was expecting 4G mobile internet for computer hotspot use and uploading photos of the holiday.. I suspect this will not be adequate for such a purpose…
          As stated prior, if I am not happy with my network on my return I can get a full refund including shipping?

          is AT&T the best network to go for for my S4(I9505)? Is there no network in the States that support 4G for the I9505, simular to Australia's 4G network?

We have sold T-Mobile sim cards to a large number of people who have had the Samsung S4 and no one has ever complained of the speed. Hotspotting and uploading photos will not be an issue. If you are unstill uncertain - then rest assured we will provide you a full refund if you encounter any issues. We can not stress enough that you are being worried for no reason.

          @Chongy288: Just to update on this

          I think that the SIM card plan itself is a good deal - $55 AUD for unlimited SMS/calls to USA, unlimited SMS/landlines calls (not mobile) to Australia, 5GB data. The only question is coverage and speed at "4G" - this is the only negative on the deal is the unclear information about this, I don't even know if this SIM card offers T-mobile LTE access or not.

          From what I can tell, in those major cities you listed - Chicago, Washington, Boston and New York - there is plenty of 1900mhz but at 3G speeds (or as T-mobile calls it, "4G", even though it is only up to 21Mbps HSPA+).

          http://support.t-mobile.com/community/coverage/blog/2013/12/…

          My speculation is that there will be plenty of 21Mbps HSPA+ but also plenty of Blackspots (Slow "4G", Only 2G or nothing at all) but I have not been to these places to know.

          I would take your S4 i9505 and see how it goes, and if you find that it is not up to par, be prepared to pop into a Walmart (and American experience in itself) and get one of these:

        If you dial *#06# on your mobile phone it will come up on your screen. It's basically a unique ID number for your phone. The T-Mobile sim will be registered to that phone. This process is required by T-Mobile for activation. You will still be able to use the sim in any phone once activated.

    Sounds like a great deal, and I'm heading to the U.S soon. Will probably get one with express shipping.

    But just one thing I"m unsure of - will my phone work with 3G/4G data over there on T-Mobile? From what I've read, the 1900MHz frequency on HSPA should be all I need for 3G to work. Is that right?

    But what about their LTE network? What frequency is required?

    Any info would be helpful - thanks!

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 01:03

      Hi ah,

      Their LTE network uses 1700MHz and 2100MHz.

      If you can please advise which phone you will be using in the USA? We can then confirm it's capability for you.

      • shake on 13/10/2014 - 01:16

        Thanks for the quick reply. I have a Telstra-branded HTC 8X, which only has these 2 LTE frequencies -> 1800 and 2600 MHz.

        And these HSPA frequencies:
        HSPA/WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz

        So am I correct in saying that I will only be able to use their HSPA+ network (up to 42 Mbps)? Or just the HSPA network (up to 14 Mbps)?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 09:35

          They have been "refarming" or moving HSPA+ traffic to the 1900MHz for well over 2 years now from where there was only 2G.

          So where they have done this you will get HSPA+. From what i have checked on line this has been completed in most major cities so you will get HSPA+. If not then you will get HSPA.

          If you Google "T-Mobile refarming 1900MHz" you will get some nice reads on what they have been doing.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2014 - 01:08

    Hi Rep. Yanks have a different definition of 4G as we do. Is this 4G HSPA+ (What we consider 3G) or is it 4G LTE? Do you offer any device rentals?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 01:21

      Hi Land of Smeg,

      They do seem to have a different definition or ranking to their data speeds in comparison to us in Australia. They note 3G, 4G, and 4G LTE speeds.

      Since they actually note 3G speeds i would assume their 4G is probably quite a bit faster than our 3G (3.5G if you will). Based on some of our customer feedback whom have used T-Mobile on a 4G capable device, the general feedback is that the speeds are pretty zippy.

      Unfortunately, we currently don't offer any device rentals.

      • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2014 - 09:27

        I find these claims to be quite dubious as we already have a 3G "3.5G" network known as Telstra NextG that is miles ahead of any USA HSPA+/DC-HSPA+ network. If your customers were supplying their own devices from Australia, I doubt their speeds were 'pretty zippy' or that they had much coverage at all since most Australian phones don't properly support T-mobile frequency bands even if unlocked.

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 09:41

          This is not true. With most new smart phones now they don't come with just the specific frequency bands for the country. I.E the Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5s for example are considered "World Phones" that basically cover every single frequency band.

          With that being said most recent smartphones come with many frequency bands that are suitable with T-Mobile's network.

          T-Mobile has also been refarming it's 2G network to HSPA+ on the 1900MHz band for well over 2 years, which is a band most Australian phones have.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2014 - 10:35

          @SimCorner: Nope.

          1900mhz is 3G, not even T-mobile advertise it as "4G". S4 & 5S don't support 1700mhz AWS that T-mobile primarily uses for "4G" & 4G LTE.

          No such thing as a "World Phone" except in Apple Talk when they launched the iPhone 4S… back when Apple ignored T-mobile's existence. No the 4S doesn't support AWS either.

          Hi Chir0nex,

          You will get 4G Speeds. It is a little bit confusing as Australia and USA have different definitions of 4G. The 4G you will get in USA is HSPA+ speeds. This is faster than 3G but not really 4G either in comparison to Australia.

          General feedback has been that the speeds a pretty fast, so you won't have anything to worry about. In the USA LTE is minimally faster than 4G.

          @skysky: I had a look at the Z2 D6503, very impressive and quite right that it is almost a "world phone" - the closest I have seen yet; surprisingly supporting both Australia's main LTE band (1800mhz Band 3) and T-mobiles/AT&T's LTE bands (1900mhz Band 2, 1700mhz Band 4, 700mhz Band 17) and of course supporting the 1700mhz AWS HSPA+ (T-mobile "4G" HSPA+).

          Missing is T-mobile 700mhz Band 12 (Not common yet), Optus' 2300mhz TDD Band 40 (Not common yet) & Australia's upcoming 700mhz Band 28. No big deal yet.

          Interestingly the Z3 has not continued with this compatibility of both Australian and US LTE networks, but it has retained the 1700mhz AWS HSPA+ so it's still a good choice for AT&T & T-mobile on HSPA+ speeds.

          I would definitely use the Z2 in the US over any other Australian model that I have seen so far.

          There is also Sprint & Verizon networks which also have LTE, but they have a CDMA backend so any Australian phone model is out of the question.

          I got tickets via. Air New Zealand deal so I'm looking at my options to get equipment which properly supports the all bands with hotspot functionality. I prefer to rent, but so far the cheapest option to buy costs around $100 USD.

          I'm 50% sure they will unlock it for free if you tell them you are permanently taking it back with you overseas, but the 'customer service' in the United States, particularly Telcos, are notoriously bad - and dealing with Australian Telcos is bad enough.

          I also found that the Australian Model iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus supports T-mobile extremely well for HSPA+ & LTE. Just not T-mobile 700mhz LTE Band 12 which is not a big deal at the moment.

  • SBOB on 13/10/2014 - 06:42

    Can the sim be swapped between 2 phones, or is it locked to whatever imei number you register?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 08:18

      Hi SBOB

      Yes the sim cards can be swapped between different phones. We just need the IMEI number for activation. Once your sim has been activated you can swap into any other unlock phone.

      • SBOB on 13/10/2014 - 08:30

        Thanks… asked that question before seeing the Jan 31st activation date..
        I need one for the last week of Feb/first week of March, so the 30 day expiry won't work for me..

        Any sims with a later activation date on sale?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 09:43

          Sorry SBOB, for this sale at the moment it's only up until Jan 31st.

  • fz7hny on 13/10/2014 - 07:00

    Just wanted to check, if I purchase now will it be good for a trip May 2015?
    Is there an expiry date for purchase?

    • SBOB on 13/10/2014 - 07:23

      When does my sim card have to be activated by?
      Your sim card must be activated by 31 January 2015. If you are traveling after this period - we advise that you purchase a sim card closer to the date.

      And it only lasts 30 days so… out of luck

      I wanted one for end feb/start of march but based on that expiry and time limit I'm out of luck

    Hi Rep,

    I've just placed an order for one SIM. I want to place another order for a iPhone 5S, can you confirm whether it will work on T-Mobile's LTE network? Or just 3G only?

    Thanks.

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 09:59

      Good Morning skysky,

      The iPhone 5s supports T-Mobiles 4G network :)

        Rep,

        Please stop with this shenanigans.

        Australian iPhone 5S does not support T-mobile's "4G" HSPA+ or 4G LTE networks even though your deal appears to be for "4G" HSPA+ (3.5G really).

        Australian model is A1530 which does not support 1700/2100 AWS HSPA+ or any USA LTE Bands
        USA model is A1533 which does support 1700/2100 AWS HSPA+ and USA LTE bands.

        T-mobile's "4G" HSPA+ runs on 1700/2100mhz AWS primarily.

        https://www.apple.com/au/iphone-5s/specs/
        https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US#Radio_frequency_spe…

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 11:21

          As stated the iphone 5s supports 1900MHz which T-Mobile has for the last couple of year been refarming 4G onto the 1900MHz band. This has occurred in most major cities and feedback from customers supports this.

          Please note 4G with T-mobile is not the same as what Australia classifies as 4G. The 4G with T-Mobile is considered HSPA+. However, based on customer feedback we have received they have noted that the speeds have been quick and the coverage is great in major cities.

          If the customer is not entirely happy with the service we will provide a full refund.

  • tangy on 13/10/2014 - 10:01

    how about an iPhone5 (not S)? Will this work on 4G/LTE?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 10:11

      Hi Tangy,

      T-Mobiles data speed rankings go 2G, 3G, 4G and 4G LTE. Your iphone5 will get the 4G (HSPA+) but may not be able to get 4G LTE.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2014 - 10:21

      http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5720

      Australian stock iPhone 5 (not s) is model number A1429 not A1428 so it won't support T-mobile "4G" HSPA+ or 4G LTE, only patches of 1900 mhz band they use for infill.

      • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 11:14

        We have placed the link to the Wiki page with the frequency bands you noted above.

        Please note we have to advertise as what T-Mobile market their 4G as. You are correct in saying that, the HSPA+ they market as 4G which is noted on the wiki link you provided that is also on the 1900MHz band.

        We have noted the difference in the description as well that 4G with T-mobile is HSPA+.

    i will be traveling to states in November

    November 20th to 24th in vegas
    November 24th to 28th in Vancouver
    November 28th to December 4th in LA

    do you have any other plans that would suit me for the minimal travel that i will be doing ?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 10:26

      Hi Gillystylez,

      Unfortunately, we only have 30 day prepaid options for the USA. Please note this a definitely a great deal even if you were just going for the 15 days.

      • gillystylez on 13/10/2014 - 10:36

        would the service work overseas as roaming in Vancouver ?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 11:04

          @SimCorner:

          sorry quick question …

          how long does it take to ship to australia post code 2000

          Unlimited International calls to landlines to over 50 countries ( is that completly unlimited or is there cap min limit )

          how much does it cost to call mobile interntionally ?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 14:26

          @gillystylez:

          Shipping occurs the next day after order via Australia Post. Depending which option you chose, Australia Post generally advise 5-7 Working days for Regular/Standard shipping. Sometimes it's a lot less, sometimes a bit more.

          If you choose express post, then it's 1-3 business days.

          We dispatch from Sydney and Melbourne so to reach post code 2000 technically should only take a couple of days via Australia Post when shipped from Sydney even when using standard shipping, however we are relying on Australia Post's services, which is at times inconsistent in their delivery time.

        • gillystylez on 13/10/2014 - 14:33

          @SimCorner: understood thank you

          how much would it cost to call australian mobiles from this sim whilst in america.

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 13/10/2014 - 14:41

          @gillystylez:

          Apologies, I missed the second part to your question.

          It's $0.20 cents per minute to call back an Australian Mobile whilst in America. This is noted in the ad's description in a little more details as well.

          Also, the Unlimited Calls to Landlines is not capped.

    Like the idea of the site. I hate buying travel sims always opting to buy a local pre-paid. Being able to buy a local prepaid card before I leave takes the annoyance out of arriving in a foreign country tired and trying to not get screwed over.

    Shame you don't have any Vietnam cards. I would have bought 5.

Where do I need to activate it, in Oz or in the US? Because if I have to activate it when I'm in the US, then I can't avail of this deal. Also will the SIM fit an iPhone6 or HTC One M7?

    Hi Rep,
    I plan to live in California for 6 months, starting from 31/12/2014. Can I buy this SIM and extend it after 30 days? If so, what is the cost?

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ SimCorner on 14/10/2014 - 11:30

      Hi Daquatrio,

      You can definitely buy this sim and extend it after 30 days. However, please note the same package we are offering at $55AUD will cost you $90USD the second month with T-Mobile in the USA. $80 for the Unlimited Data and Unlimited Local talk and Text +$10 For the international Calls to Landlines.

      There are cheaper monthly packs that come with less data and you don't have to get the Unlimited Calls to Australian landline so after the 30 days you can change to something cheaper. I've provided the link below from T-Mobile's website showing what 30 days prepaid options they have. You can create a T-Mobile account online once your sim is activated and then you can manage your prepaid account online.
