@Landryy - you said you are not able to? Is that because you listed your phone into lost/stolen status and it is still in that status?

If so, resume/reactivate service, then you should be able to swap out the SIM card. If still issues, resume/reactivate, log out of My Account, then log back in and try to swap it.

@Landryy 

1. login to self serve after going incognito or private tab
2. go to Profile on left side
3. go to Edit Account Info lower right
4. there you can change the SIM card.

@Landryy - do not go through the SIM card activation process. This will create a 2nd account and you do not want this, then you will have 2 paying accounts.
