    How do I insert my SIM?

    My SIM card cut off before my new phone arrived?

    It’s possible that your new SIM card activated quicker than usual, disconnecting your old one. To help prevent this from happening, we request a 24-hour activation delay on new SIM cards, but the network may have activated it sooner than expected. Not to worry, your new SIM card will arrive with your new phone, ready to use.
