Cell for guests
 
Can anyone recommend a way to get a sim card for a guest to use, for just a few weeks. I tried a simple "tracphone" from target but the signal is non existent in my house. I have no shortage of old smart phones that could be used, I just want a simcard for talk and data for max one month around more than $50?

Title of this thread definitely made me wonder what I was going to read :lol:

Have you tried the provider you use to see if they offer a pay as you go plan or something along those lines?

I have used AT&T and T-Mobile for this purpose in the past.

Which ever system does work at your house.

AT&T GoPhone or whatever they rebranded it to it would work fine. Should also work in their cell phones too, assuming they're unlocked.

Every major telephone company has a pay as you go option. Or you could just get a really cheap flip phone and add it to your current phone plan for a month.

We buy a SIM card from Amazon from H20 - they use AT&T. You can do Pay As you Go for $10 (lasts 3 months) or there are monthly plans for $30.

This worked out really well for my parents when they visited in August. You can order online and mail it to them so they have it for when they land.
