Does AT&T PAYG have new SIM cards?

[Sigz]

I've heard around that AT&T has some sort of new SIM card that is "locked" to a certain phone for a certain amount of months?

Is this true?

My luck started to suck today when my SIM card (PAYG) stopped working for some odd reason.

I that SIM card in my Iphone 2g and BBcurve8320.

So now I have to get a new one, am I locked out of these two devices?

Certainly you would have received a text stating that your sim card is reaching end of life and to visit a store for a new one. Sounds odd.

Sim cards fail, but I hear that you get a free sim once a year from AT&T. Call them and check it out.

I get mine for free.

A free sim once a year? That's pretty cool. Never heard of that though.


Yeah it's weird. I insert my SIM on both my Iphone/BB and it just says "no sim inserted"

I get mine for free.

Are you a PAYG user?

[GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL]

The sim is only locked if you buy it prepackaged with a new phone.

So what should I do?

Go to an ATT store in the mall and ask for a new PAYG SIM card for my Blackberry?

I'd probably just bring my BB instead of my Iphone just because I don't have data turned on, and am just on a PAYG account.

[GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL]

You could just ask them to set you up with a GoPhone account and that you have the phone at home, buy a GoPhone, set it up and go into a real AT&T store (Free sim) and tell them you lost the phone and just need a new sim card.

[Sigz]

I already have a gophone account.


I just need a new SIM that I can put into my Iphone or Blackberry.

[GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL]

Then just ask them for a new sim card

Then just ask them for a new sim card

I figured that.

But what I'm trying to find out is if the SIM card will work in the Iphone/Blackberry?

[GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL]

As I said above, yes.. it doesn't matter.

Oh so I think I got this...

Only the SIM cards that come with a packaged phone won't work in my BB/Iphone?

[GenesisDH]

Yep, that's exactly what she's saying.

Just go to the at&t store with the SIM in your BB and tell them it isn't working. If the GoPhone account didn't expire, they should be able to replace it without issue.
