I just bought a 150 minute prepaid sim off of Ebay( I've bought from this merchant before so I know he's legit) for $6 shipped. To buy the same amount of air time from Tmobile it would cost $30.

Does anyone know how these Ebay sellers are getting these sims so cheap? I'd like to buy a few in bulk and activate them as needed.

150 minutes for $30. Think again.

I get 1200 minutes for $60 from Cingular. Prices have gone up I think, but its an old deal I got locked into.

A lot of them are dealers and they activate those cards and make commissions off them. That's why the deals are only on activated SIMs with a number on them.

Indeed. Perhaps you should re-read the OP and Leros' posts again. ;)

So they're selling the sims at a loss?
