in for 2, last time I lost my sim, tmobile store rep wanna charge me $10 to get a new one.
^ One of many good reasons to tell T-Mobile to stuff it.
Seems to me that $10 is pretty reasonable to replace a lost SIM. It involves more work on T-Mobile's part than just handing him a new one. I wonder what your phone service company would charge?
^ Shut up.
^^ Judging by the listings on Amazon, most cost between $0 and $8 with the average down around $3 or $4 but quite a few under that. Yes it does require the work of assigning it to the account, but it's a small overhead for them considering that if they don't feel like doing even that they have lost the customer.
Let's put it in perspective. Going with a prepaid like Tracfone you can pay $10 for the whole phone, including the SIM and activation, a test-enabling amount of airtime (20 min.), over an included activation period of 2 months without spending a cent more yet.
It is in a carrier's best interests to hook a customer cheap then make their money over the long haul.
We were not talking about the cost to activate a new phone and account, we are talking about getting a replacement card where they are not doing it to get new business. I got a free phone when I signed up for a year of service, but they wouldn't replace it for free or even cheap if I lost it because they already did the promo to get my business.
@ Ironbadge What's the matter, did I make you think?
Price is now $0.99. Not a big deal, and I needed a SIM, so I went ahead and ordered one.
Worst customer service of all the cell companies. I bought a prepaid phone with free $50 airtime card offer. Card did not come with the phone, called them, arguing with several CS reps for 45 minutes before they finally accepted responsibility. Bastards!!
