Also remember if you are On Account and move from CDMA to XT then you shouldn't have to pay for your SIM card. SIM cards are only charged on Prepay.

you get a free sim at telecom if you get a good Customer service rep or you transfer a number from CDMA to xt. as mentioned above you get no credit though

I got mine for free from Telecom because I went on a post pay One Rate plan, no contract but they were nice and gave me a SIM for free because I was going to be spending $150 a month with them.

If you buy a new phone from the telecom website and click the "upgrade mobile" link and enter your number you get the sim free.

I don't really know what you're saying there - but I bought a mobile & sim from the warehouse and was able to port my old vodafone number onto that sim without trouble. I did it that way because the warehouse was offering half price sims at the time.
