T-Mobile New Phone Order, Default Sim Card added to purchase


Badge

Hello.  I have a bit of a problem.  I ordered a new 5G phone for my mother since her 3G network is being discontinued.  The text she received stated that she need to Upgrade.  I found the phone see wanted, added it to the Cart.  When I looked at the Cart, a SIM CARD was automatically included for me to purchase by default.  I didn’t think anything of it.  Paid for the phone on my Debit Card.  As I went back to check on the other phones-- wanting to possibly get one for myself, I saw a PRE-PAID sim card, next to the SIM CARD (that was added to my cart by Default).  My mom is on a PAY AS YOU GO (old 2014 plan), and I wanted to get her on the T-Mobile CONNECT Prepaid 1000 min/1000 text/1gb data.  Is the DEFAULT Sim Card that was added with the phone automatically, the CORRECT SIM or do I have to return it?  Thank you to the community.  You have been very helpful in answer my questions in the past.

For the new phone to work on the 5G network your mom will need a new sim.

Ok.  Do you happen to know why there is a PREPAID 3-in-1 SIM Card offered for next to a Regular Sim Card?  Is there a difference?  T-Mobile Connect is supposedly a Prepaid service I wanted to get for my mom.  So I was confused if I need to BUY the Prepaid 3-in-1 Sim, and not the one that was automatically applied to my Cart on checkout.  I am still a bit confused..

Not sure about that. I don't work for Tmobile so I don't know why a clerk did that, too many iffs. Was it a mistake, were they not properly trained and so on.
