Included in box

Hey guys, if I was to sell my Galaxy S2 as a brand new unopened item, would I need to include the New Sim Card that T-Mobile throws in the box, or do I keep that for myself ? ? (The sim card which they included is not yet registered, or activated, so it can be activated with any number)

But does the buyer get to call their company and get their own updated Sim, or do I give them the one T-Mobile throws in the box ?

I need a new 4g capable sim, and right now I am still on the old ones that only get 3g. .and am planning on selling but not sure of I should include the Sim in the sale, and ask T-Moble for another one later, or if I should keep it.

I bought my SGS2 from a local fellow on Craigslist. Previously I used a MyTouch 3G. I just put the SIM from the MT3G into the SGS2, logged into my Google address, and waited while it updated my contacts. It got 4G right away. I didn't have to use the new SIM that the seller left in the box, nor did I have to go to the T-Mobile store to get a new SIM. I'm in an HSPA+42 area and I average nearly 20 Mbps down, so I'm definitely getting 4G.

I have a second T-Mobile account that I used to use an old unlocked Motorola Razr V3 with. I took the SIM out of the Razr and put it into the MT3G, but it wouldn't work. So I stopped at a T-Mobile store, explained the situation, and they made me a new SIM for the MT3G that worked fine. No charge. I think T-Mobile will just make you a new SIM and you won't have to pay anything. You might want to call your local store to verify this.

I still have the SIM from the SGS2 (unactivated, still in the credit card size plastic carrier) and have no use for it. If you really do need a SIM from an SGS2 I could send it to you.
 
WOW thank you for offering something like that. Really Appreciate it. .I think my t-mobile will give me an updated one for free. .I have had an older one for way too long, and wanted to keep this new one, but I guess its part of the package, so I have to give it to the buyer.

Oh well, when I get the new phone, I'm sure they'll include another one, and if not I'll check with you again.

Again I really appreciate your niceness
Thank you
