Greetings Streakers!
I'm getting my new Streak tomorrow and have a SIM card question. I'm a long term ATT customer (coming from WM) and have a working SIM in my current Touch Pro 2. I understand the Streak comes with a new SIM card. Is there any reason to have the local ATT shop move my stuff to the new card, or is it okay to just use the old one? Thanks!
Stephen
I just took the one from my TIlt2 and stuck it in - works just fine. I threw the new one in the bottom of a drawer just in case I ever need one.

Okay Thanks!
I had heard from a friend that the newer SIM cards provide faster data speeds. I'm not sure about this though...
I'm thinking about switching my old SIM card when my Streak comes in just in case

Depends on how old your current sim card is. If it is the old white and blue (i think that was the color) and says cingular, then i suggest using the new ones that say 3G on them.
even old sim cards from the 2g gprs era will get you the fastest data speeds. if your card is over 10 years old, then yeah, you might want to use the new sim card. but if youre already coming from a 3g smartphone, theres no advantage to using a new sim card.
Im sorry if this is not supuse to be posted here, im still new here.
So a friend bought me a Note 3 in the US at at&t. And he never got a sim card on it. Since they sold it to him without a sim card or contract, and his sim doesnt fit it soo... yeah. And then he send it to me via mail(I live in mexico). Is there anyway I can SIM unlock it? Ive been reading some threads and all the SIM lock and Region lock got me confused. Id really apreciate if some one replied this? Thanks :cyclops:

You are probably in the wrong forum - this here is the international note 3 forum:

and you should probably ask in the AT&T note 3 forum:

I currently have a Note 2, unlocked bootloader, alliance rom.
if I were to buy an S5, can I just move the Note's SIM card to the S5 and it would work?
Or does one of the talking heads at the Verizon store have to "activate" the S5?
I'd love to have 2-3 phones where I move the SIM card between them depending on how I feel each day.

Yes, you can swap the Sim card to different devices. I'm not sure if it'll work without going to the my Verizon and changing the device there as well though. I've used the same Sim card in my note 2, blackberry, s4, s5, maybe even all the way back to my thunderbolt, but I can't remember exactly.

I've used my current LTE Sim from Razr MAXX to Razr HD to Galaxy S5.. I have heard that the newer LTE Sims have some upgrades. How much truth there is to that, I don't know.

This is for Verizon!
I have mostly new phones and a new sim card. First and foremost all phones have to be activated with Verizon then you can change sims at will. I have a Galaxy S5, Moto Maxx, LG2 and IPhone 5. The same sim works in all phones. Yes I have to use a sim adaptor with the Galaxy S5. Shortly after changing the sim card the picture of the phone I'm using shows up on the My Verizon site.
I used to be with AT&T and I don't think each phone has to be activated by AT&T. I think it goes by the sim card. As I remember I could use any active sim card In any AT&T phone. If it was not a AT&T phone but worked on the same network you may have to configure the APN setting.
Can confirm. Got the VZW S5 through Amazon, which contained a new sim. When I got it, I turned off my old phone, popped out the microSD and sim, popped out the S5's sim and replaced it and installed the microSD and booted up.
First setup said the sim was active to my number, obviously, and I checked Verizon's site within minutes and it knew i had the new phone on that line.
Flawless victory.

I find it useful.
First Initialization of my S5
I was in the middle of initializing my S5 the day I received it. I had about 3 bars of signal strength. Then the signal strength went to zero and the phone would not complete initialization. I finally decided that the SIM card, for some reason, had fried during the process.
I removed the SIM card from my Droid Razor Maxx HD and plugged it into the S5. Signal strength was then back and the phone popped up a window stating that the SIM card was already activated. HOWEVER, I could still not make a call or reach the internet.
I called Verizon tech support and explained what I had done. He had me remove the SIM card and read off the lengthy number printed on the card. After he updated the system to associate this SIM card to the new phone everything was fine. It would be nice if their system software was smart enough to automate this process but apparently it isn't.
Also, I concur with the post that there is no guarantee you can swap SIM cards between phone. The first SIM enabled phone I owned definitely had a larger card. I would not have been able to move the card from that phone to the S5.
ok so i have a verizon sim card which is on the pageplus network. and i wanna know if its possible to use that same sim card with my verizon gs4 that i just bought!. .. here is a little more in detail... i purchased a verizon droid rzr last year (used).. it came with a sim card right... so it means i have a verizon sim but on pageplus network.. so when i put my sim card on the gs4 it does not take it!!.. any help on how to make it work?..
Maybe that droid rzr was unlocked for other networks.
