To establish cell phone service with T-mobile, you must have a T-Mobile SIM card. You will not be able to make or receive phone calls without one. A T-Mobile SIM card is the brains of your cell phone. It allows you to save phone numbers, text messages, music and pictures. The easiest way to buy a T-Mobile prepaid SIM card is to order an activation kit from the T-Mobile website.
