sim card for usa
i had philippine phone with smart sim card.,i came back to usa for 4 months?

will the phone work again when i get back if i put load on it.,?

We did just that, bought sim cards at the philippines last june, & have been back to the u.s., about 5 months now. My sister in law over there said that we haveto load it up every so often, otherwise it will “expire.” I guess by her explanation of whatever sim rules there are over there, ours wouldn’t work when we go back there next year or whenever it happens because we haven’t loaded it up for the last 5 months.

Anyway, the good part, is that you can always purchase a new sim & go about your business when you do go back over there.
