Needing a new SIM card for a new (used, but new to me) Iphone?
Post Body

So literally every other person Iā€™ve ever met hasnā€™t had to do this. They just take the SIM card out of their old phone, put it in the new phone, and then maybe have to call their service provider. Thatā€™s it.

But Iā€™m being told I need to get a new SIM card. Is this normal?

Thank you šŸ™

Yeah I tried to do it on my own but it wouldnā€™t seem to work. I assumed I just had to call the company and have them do something on their end to get it to be recognized.

Iā€™m annoyed at the least, but now Iā€™m confused and suspicious because the service rep had me give him the imei for the new phoneā€¦and he said his system told him the phone was locked (which the phone seller said the phone was fully unlocked). I just looked at the ā€œaboutā€ section of the phone, and under carrier lock it says ā€œno sim restrictionsā€.

Youā€™re right it does. So this should be considered fully unlocked correct?

Why do you think tracfone/total wireless being this way/ claiming things that arenā€™t the case?

I bought the phone online not through tracfone. I had a family member get the exact same model of iPhone a few months ago and didnā€™t have to do any of this stuff.

The phone I bought was supposed to be totally unlocked but the tracfone guy claimed it wasnā€™t šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
