I just took out the SIM card and put it in my iPhone and just threw away the phone, the battery, the charger, and the headset because I had no use for that stuff.

So which is cheaper? Going to walmart or just go to the t-mobile store. I have a lot of t mobile store in California. So if I do buy it from the retail store and only want the 30min plan, do i buy this one? http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/...a-000007a2ac12
And what do they mean about activation.
