Ahh - sorry forgot the ebay route. however, if you go to their store - they charge you a activation or something or the other fee - which is $36 in addition to the "time" - and it means that your FIRST SIM - you get way less than face value. If your experience is different - fair enough - but this is what I've seen the last 6 times that I've helped visitors for prepaid SIMs.

Ebay for example has a $60 (300min) prepaid sim for approximately $20.

I have done this with no problem. You don't get to pick you phone number on the eBay sale, but I have had no problem changing the number by calling TMo .
