Tmobile wants $10 for the sim + some kind of $10 activation fee. I walked since I still have some time and was going to try a different store. Not sure if that's normal.
I had a similar experience. As in Sprint stores (like other carriers), not all TMobile stores are the same. If you go to a TMobile store, you want to avoid a "T-Mobile branded store" because these are not corporate stores and you might be charged more. You can check on the TMobile website.

It looks as if that is correct for paygo.Too bad.

What a farce. TMobile claims it no longer offers paygo itself and is just re-selling a third party product (Ultramobile) but the only place to actually buy it turns out to be TMobile. Just a sham for the merger settlement so they can claim they have already gotten out of the Prepaid business.

One could get this for $9.99 including first month service: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PreLoade...0667.m2042

The seller is Ultramobile-authorized.

But it may be simpler for many to stick to a local store

Although I haven't tried, Best Buy has ting gsm sim kit for $4.99 includes $30 credit.
Ting is a Sprint MVNO. Would that be a port out of sprint? Has anyone tried?

See recent posts on using the Ultramobile/TMobile $3/mo Paygo plan for getting onto the Kickstart plan by porting out and back. You can search the thread for "ultramobile".

If you have time, you could order a pre-loaded Ultramobile sim online from
https://www.ebay.com/itm/PreLoade...2154428180 for $9.99.

OR see this post https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=130449964&postcount=41716 where edog11 mentions this Ting GSM $4.99 sim offer.

If you go to a TMobile store, it would be $10+$3 (Some stores charge $10+$10+$3 so call first).

Also did you see, probably better still,this post https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=130449964&postcount=41716 where edog11 mentions this Ting GSM $4.99 sim offer (around $11 total with same day delivery in many areas) which would also be absolutely fine and would be lowest cost fast access. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ting...Id=6134436 It is not a problem that Ting has a Sprint MVNO side because this offer is for the GSM side of Ting which is separate.
Before aggressively recommending the Ting GSM option, someone should probably say that edog hasn't actually bought this item himself. It's sometimes the case that intro SIMS are for new numbers only and not valid for porting. I know this is true for the $5 dual SIM Mint Mobile trial packs. This might very well be a good option moving forward, but someone should take one for the team and confirm it. $5 isn't much skin.

Personally I think the risk of that is remote since there is no mention of it. Mint is the only company I have ever seen come up with that ridiculous two sim two stage trial. I did not think Ting would do anything as ridiculous as that and I think we would have heard of it if they did. But sure, if people are unwilling to take the $5 risk, then they can act accordingly.

I found this older thread which includes discussion of the use of Ting GSM SIMS for PIPO. Looks like it CAN be done with the caveat that if you port out immediately, Ting will ban your e-mail and CC info against ever using them again. So use a virtual CC if you can find the rare bank that will still generate one for you.

For anyone who don't want any hassle just go to tmobile store and ask for ultramobile pay as you go. It will be $3 for sim plus $10 activation fee. $13 total and you are done in 15 minutes. If you have sim from ebay you still have to call tmobile, transfer then wait again, and at the end they will charge you 10 activation fee. Too much waiting and hassle Best to go to tmobile which I have done 3x.
