Also if you have any clue how to transfer it to metro pcs that would be helpfull too i'm kinda stuck right thanks in advance
Call MetroPCS and tell them you are bringing your own phone, and would like to activate it on their system. If it's really a Sprint phone, it uses CDMA technology and won't work on MetroPCS's networks. After taking over MetroPCS, T-Mobile has dismantled their CDMA network and has transferred all their existing customers over to their own GSM networks. (GSM uses SIMs)
StaightTalk has agreements with all of the Big Four (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint). Their activation kits are sold online or at Walmart. (Kit contains activation for any type of phone; you'll need the Sprint packet for that Sprint phone). Once you have the packet, call the Cust Srv service number to activate.
Actually, you may not have to buy anything additional at all. Check out the link below, and enter your IMEI. That'll tell you if you can use the StraightTalk system. You can probably activate online or via Cust Svc telephone.
Plan details are the same: Unltd voice/text, 5gb data monthly, for $45/mo.
Yeah, at AT&T they just gave me one for free.
It shouldn't have included one to begin with since SIM cards are to the owner not the phone.
Assuming Sprint is your carrier, they don't use SIM cards in any case since they are a CDMA carrier, so it would just be a matter of getting them to activate it for you with your details. Same with metroPCS is also a CDMA carrier though since the T-Mobile buy over they apparently issue SIM cards now.
Regardless of that I would assume that iPhone is locked to a specific carrier & would need to be unlocked in order to move between them.
- If I just buy an AT&T iPhone 5 can I just put my sim card in it and it'll work? I wanted to buy a new iPhone, and didn't want to have to get a new contract. I wanted to know if I just bought a new iPhone off the internet with my company would I be able to do this, because I'm really getting sick of this iPhone 4. Someone please help me with this question.
- Can you use an old sim card in a new iPhone after transferring the info to a new sim card? I'm borrowing an iPhone from a friend, but it requires a sim card. He transferred all his information to a new sim card in a different phone. Can I use the old sim card on a different iPhone?
- Can you switch the iPhone 4 SIM card with an iPhone 4S SIM card? My mom has an iPhone 4S for sprint and I have an iPhone 4 for AT&T. Is it possible to switch SIM cards?
- Can I use my US iPhone 4S when I move to the UK by just getting a new SIM Card? I'm moving to Scotland in September 2013 from the US. I have an iPhone 4S with AT&T, and I was wondering if, when I arrive in Scotland, I could sign up for a mobile plan with a carrier that supports iPhone and use the phone I already have. In theory, they just have to switch the AT&T SIM card out for theirs, right?
