[ CONS ]
- The details in the Sony Xperia L1 manual do not provide enough details, textual and illustrative. There is no specificity as to be absolutely certain that you do not accidentally throw away your nano card holder which comes with any Sony Xperia L1 mobile phone. Reason: The nano-sim card, not the micro sized sim card, is to be placed into the sim card holder and then inserted back into the phone. It is common/very easy to toss away the sim card holder because it appears all too similar to 'blank dummy cards' often pre-inserted into devices to prevent dust build up. Example: laptops, tablets, etc. where micro-sd cards are used.

[ CONS ]
- Not water resistant.
- Sim card is not included.
- Nearly 6GB of the 16GB available are consumed rite out the box from all the 'preinstalled apps', aka 'bloatware'. GooglePlay, Facebook, Amazon, etc.
- Cell phone is not the least heavy out there on the market, weighing in at 6.3 ounces.
- The outer shell/case is not of the greatest quality (carbon poly plastic rather than metal) which allowed Sony to significantly reduce the cost of the item quite significantly. Casing does scuff rather easily and is susceptible to finger print oil stains, thus it is advised that anyone buy a protective casing.
- Phone will not work with Sprint, Verizon, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile or any other CDMA network.

Microsoft Lumia 530 No-Contract Cell Phone for T-Mobile Prepaid: Enjoy the functionality of a phone, plus check your e-mail, download videos and music and use a 5.0MP camera to snap photos with the Microsoft Lumia 530. Use the touch screen to navigate through features with ease.
Will the phone work if you don't activate it like can I just use it for internet and to download games?
You posted the following question to Best Buy, "Will the phone (Nokia Lumia 530) work if you don't activate it like can I use it for Internet and to download games?".
Answer / Reply / Advice / Recommended course of action
Yes and No, you see I personally owned this phone and activation requires just that activation. Once that process takes place all the phone can do without a contract activated to it and registered to your name or a prepaid wiressless airtime added to your account is detect both secured and unsecured wireless hot spots and unmasked unsecured and secured WIFI signals. However, you can connect to any of those signals with and without contract as long as you have passcodes/key phrases to access authorized secure WIFI networks.
Yes, the phone (Nokia Lumia 530) will work (provide access the Internet to download games). If you have the key phrase / passcodes for masked secured and unmasked secured WIFI networks your device will not charge you for data usage but rather use the subscribers plan. To accomplish this you must have the device settings set to WIFI use only so to not charge your account for data usage. Most importantly, Nokia, the manufacturer, actually recommends this set up during initial set up as a way to reduce data costs but also cites it can introduce security vulnerabilities or expose your data to others. Therefore, I recommend to you to download a VPN to mask your Internet activty, also making it extremely difficult for intruders to see what you're doing while online. However, VPN's can sometimes slow your web browsing and downloading speeds but not significantly to the point where it makes it undesirable to want your devices connected to a network having access to the Internet.
Hope that helps!

Yes and No, you see I personally owned this phone and activation requires just that activation. Once that process takes place all the phone can do without a contract activated to it and registered to your name or a prepaid wiressless airtime added to your account is detect both secured and unsecured wireless hot spots and unmasked unsecured and secured WIFI signals. However, you can connect to any of those signals with and without contract as long as you have passcodes/key phrases to access authorized secure WIFI networks.
Yes, the phone (Nokia Lumia 530) will work (provide access the Internet to download games). If you have the key phrase / passcodes for masked secured and unmasked secured WIFI networks your device will not charge you for data usage but rather use the subscribers plan. To accomplish this you must have the device settings set to WIFI use only so to not charge your account for data usage. Most importantly, Nokia, the manufacturer, actually recommends this set up during initial set up as a way to reduce data costs but also cites it can introduce security vulnerabilities or expose your data to others. Therefore, I recommend to you to download a VPN to mask your Internet activty, also making it extremely difficult for intruders to see what you're doing while online. However, VPN's can sometimes slow your web browsing and downloading speeds but not significantly to the point where it makes it undesirable to want your devices connected to a network having access to the Internet.
Hope that helps!

Designed for use with most T-Mobile cell phones, this $40 T-Mobile T-MOBILE $40 top-up prepaid card is redeemable for most T-Mobile rate plans and services, allowing you to purchase unlimited talk, text, data, messaging and Web access.
Will the $40 prepaid card time be valid to use after 30days if the data hasn't been used up?
If I don't use up the $40 card in one month does it carry over to the next month?
You posted the following question to Best Buy: "Will the $40 prepaid card time be valid to use after 30 days if the data has not been used up?"

Yes, a $40.00 T-Mobil prepaid wireless airtime card will be valid after 30 days if the data has not been used.
You posted the following question to Best Buy: "If I don't use up the $40.00 card in one month does it carry over to the next month?"
[ Reply/Advice ]
Yes, a $40.00 T-Mobil prepaid wireless airtime card will carry over to the next month. Next, a $40.00 T-Mobil prepaid wireless airtime card is 40 minutes of talk time as each minute of talk time is $1.00. What activation of any T-Mobile prepaid wireless airtime code does not give you is access to "unlimited" talk, text, and data that I know is for certain. Rather that value prepaird wireless airtime card also gives to you other options like $40.00 worth of texts, or $40.00 worth of data transmission, or $40.00 worth of any combination of talk, text and data which are all limited plans. Once the account balance reaches $0.00 your phone can not longer send texts, data or dial out calls until a new T-Mobil prepaid wireless card is activated. Also, if you find yourself in the situation having lots of prepaid wireless airtime that is about to expire and you do not want to lose any of that paid-for aittime all you need to do is enter in yet another small value T-Mobile prepaid wireless airtime card, like $10.00 and your airtime will carry over for another 6 months at least. If not, then you unfortunately lose any leftover airtime registered to that devices account.
What is more important is that the airtime does eventually expire but I think it does not expire for at least 6 months from the time of activation. I advise you seek direct customer support from T-Mobil for prepaid wireless airtime expiration inquires. You can reach T-Mobil customer service at the following URL:

Give the gift of airtime with this $10 card that features 30 minutes of talk time.
do the minutes expire and if so what is the timeline?
To answer your question, "do the minutes expire and if so what is the timeline" that you posted at Best Buy...
Put simply, YES, T-Mobile prepaid wireless airtime does expire, but not very quickly... let me explain.
As far as I recall, T-Mobile prepaid wireless talk-time does expire but not for usually like 6+ months from the date of each code activation. Once a new code is activated you will never lose your previous paid for wirelss airtime. Instead what happens is your airtime date of expiration is updated to the last most recent date a code was activated.
For more details regarding expiration of leftover prepaid wireless airtime. I would advise you to visit or call T-Mobil's technical support staff and ask there customer services representatives how long you have till prepaid wireless airtime becomes expired once codes are activated.
Hope that helps!

Enjoy on-the-go Web access on your compatible cell phone or other device with this T-Mobile top-up prepaid mobile Internet card, which features a $30 value and allows you to quickly connect to the Internet while you're out and about.

Compatible with your T-Mobile pay-as-you-go or monthly 4G plan, this T-Mobile $50 PREPAI refill card can be redeemed for talk time, text messages and data to help you stay connected on the go.
Can I buy the refill card at a best buy store?
I want to buy a refill card but not online. It looks like you need a credit card and I don't feel safe putting my credit card info on here. So is there any way I can purchase this card in a best buy store or any store that happens to sell prepaid service cards?
Yes, you can purchase T-Mobile prepaid wireless airtime at any Best Buy store.
Most every Best Buy store carries these following T-mobile prepaid wireless airtime cards:
$10.00 = 10 minutes of talk time.
$15.00 = 15 minutes of talk time.
$20.00 = 20 minutes of talk time.
$30.00 = 30 minutes of talk time.
$50.00 = 50 minutes of talk time.
$60.00 = 60 minutes of talk time.
If you ever happen to need more prepaid wireless airtime greater than the largest card valued at $60.00 you must then combine multiple prepaid airtime cards of lesser value. For instance, if you need $160.00 of prepaid wireless T-Mobile airtime you would need to purchase 2 $60.00 prepaid airtime cards to total $120.00 and 2 $20.00 prepaid airtime cards to total $40.00 as $120.00 + $40.00 = $160.00 prepaid T-Mobile wireless airtime, which is equal to 160 minutes of talk time or 2hours and 40 minutes of talk time, or some combination there of the aforementioned available prepaid wireless airtime cards. Each minute of talk time is $1.
