Cell phone sim card question...

[Brian Ski]

I am using a sim card for use in a car alarm. OK... Get a sim card and need to pay fee... Ok... Want to set up an online account to monitor how much I am using... To setup account they need to text to my phone number... Ahhh it is a car alarm... They said well stick the sim card in a phone to get the text... ok... Wait all my phones don't use sim cards... Ah son comes over and his phone does... Great... Swap out sim cards and I need a code to unlock his phone to use my sim card in it... Just so I can get a text to set up my online account... What the hell????

Do I need to buy a freaking phone to do this???? Account I am trying to set up is T-Mobile. Any ideas??? Customer service was useless.

What type of sim card is it? I've got several spare T-Mobile phones for the old sim cards that will probably never use again. You MIGHT be able to get someone at a T-Mobile store to help if they're not busy. Worst case scenario, Walmart has a T-Mobile prepaid phone for $13 (shows in stock in Plymouth, not in stock in South Bend or Mishawaka).

Wondering if I could post a wtb on craigslist... I was thinking of going to a t-mobile store... Closest store is Lansing or Chicago. Go figure. As far as SIM card guessing it is the older larger style... Don't know much about them... Are there just 2 sizes/kinds???

Maybe will check in with walmart here and see what they have.

What alarm are you using that needs a sim card?

What alarm are you using that needs a sim card?

You can find a bunch of them on the bay... You can call em up to find its location, or when alarm goes off it will call you. It can text you speed and location.
