@tylor2  No need to switch sim. Sounds like you phone is locked to your previous provider. Switching Sims will not good this. 

You must get the Network Unlock PUK code from your previous provider.

If your phone is a Samsung you might be able to get an unlock code from the Samsung website via a chat
To start a live chat session from Samsung's Contact Us page: http://www.samsung.com/ca/info/contactus.html?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000170.

Hope this helps!

I tried logging in to my account but I forgot my password so then I also couldn’t remember my security question

If you have your valid Username and Password for original sim...just wait for an hour and try again. You get locked out after several unsuccessful tries.

If your old account was Suspended for greater than 90 days...it's gone for good and you'd need a new sim and start fresh with a new account.

@tylor2 You can change your SIM from within your self service account.

1. Log into your Self-Serve account
2. Go to Plan and Add-ons > Change SIM card

1. Enter your new SIM card number into the field. Your SIM card number is found on the back of your SIM card, as outlined in the image below:
