Get a SIM card and phone number
Can I walk in to a T-Mobile retail store to buy a physical SIM card and open a prepaid plan/account without pre-order or appointment? My daughter is an international student going to San Francisco...
Yes. She can literally walk into any T-Mobile store purchase a SIM and add some funds for a plan and walk out of there with a working service. Appointments aren't necessary but sometimes more convenient for the customer. If she plans on using a device she already owns, check the device compatibility with T-Mobile and make sure that device is SIM unlocked as well.
