So it sounds like it's the SIM card that's not "compatible". If you were both on Public Mobile then the SIM will be compatible. So then it sounds like maybe it's a size thing. SIM's come in 3 sizes. There's the tiny part that is just the contacts. There's the slightly larger size that has a small frame around the contacts. Then there's the full size.

They can be snapped out and (carefully) back together.

If you still have the card that it came with then you should be able to get to the right size.


Picture to support what @Anonymous said.  Nano SIM + Micro and Standard(Mini) adaptors will let you to use it in Nano, Micro or Mini SIM card phone.

3-in-1-SIM

While you are waiting for moderator as suggested by others, you can take his SIM card out of his broken phone and use your phone to receive text messsage to create his self-serve account.  No waiting and DIY
