Hi--Does the $10 SIM card come with any airtime, or must I also buy a voucher?

I plan to be in Vancouver and Vancouver Island for about 10 days and am looking for a temporary cell phone. Thank you!

The $10 SIM card doesn't come with any airtime. You must buy an additional voucher.

From the official site:

"New accounts created with a SIM only product have no start up balance, so airtime must be purchased separately and added to your new account.”

Where are you. T-mobile roams on Rogers.

Or 79 for phone, card, and $50. Leftover time on sim card could be sold for something here.

If your phone is unlocked and would work, then $35 gets you $25 in air time and a year.
All seems very competitive to me.

Where are you?? With Paypal you might get my Alcatel 356 with sim unactivated($5 air time when activated) for $40 shipped. The area code is a 250 number for the interior of BC which could be local for the island but probably LD for Vancouver. $25 would add more time if needed.

I pm'd you when I saw your reply to another thread. I see you are in MI
