Also the sim will expire with 1-2 months of purchase on most cards that are shipped with a live phone number unless you add airtime (which will extend it up to a year as some others have mentioned). Suggest purchase shortly before travel.

Activating service at a T-Mobile store will cost about $50 with a sim card.
