voxpro / suntechpc – eBay seller of SIM cards, etc.

This is just a very brief post to hopefully save some others some grief when looking at options for cellular data.     Now going under the username suntechpc this seller was offering “Bring your own SIM” as well as “Purchase our SIM” options for T-Mobile data SIM cards.    There were some listings claiming $25.00 after tax, per month, and others with a higher price tag.   This is overall a pretty good deal, but there are a few things to be aware of with this seller:

           Billing

  • The pricing shown is only available if you submit your checking account information within their QuickBooks payment portal
  • Paying via a credit card will add additional processing fees
  • They will initially try to charge your card more than once in a 30 day period.
  • If there is any problem with your card, within 5 days they will terminate the service
  • Service may not be able to be reinstated, as in my case, where they are claiming they are “at capacity”
  • If service can be reactivated, there is a $10.00 fee (plus any fees associated with using a debit/credit card)

    Technical

  • SIM card can only be used in a mobile phone device
  • If used in an unmodified hotspot device, it will quickly deplete the limited amount of hotspot data allowed

 

The price is pretty good, for sure.   But it’s important to be aware of the above so you don’t waste time or money!

When I initially realized there was an issue with the payment card (it was a verification that the bank wanted) I emailed the seller right away to let them know, and to ask them to reattempt the charge.   I think, had the issue come up while I was within the timeframe to leave feedback on eBay, that things may have been different.  Who knows.
