Old school prepaid customer trying to upgrade phone to 4G
Hi, Sorry to try here but the online support chat wouldn't even talk to me and said I had to call the prepaid phone number instead. Just trying to find out how you go from the old 3G to a new 4...
Go to a store and see if they can swap the sim out for you. Also check to see if you have a 3 in 1 sim by pushing in the middle of your sim . These have been out for some time now.
You can also try going to a Best Buy , that's where I went when I upgraded my phone last month. Great service for me and phone was cheaper than on Tmobile's website.

That's the strangest part really. Despite ordering the phone off the T-mobile site, there is no sim card in the phone or included in the box. I get that I'm a dinosaur still using the old style pay as you go but they really seem to have just abandoned it.
Kind of knew it was a bad sign when I could no longer just pick up a phone ready to go in the stores like the old days.
Thanks for the suggestion.
