Transfer Sim card

[Jeannine_Ander1]

I cancel my subscription to my $20 account. I want to activate my $15 plan with the same Sim card. However, it keeps telling me that the SIM card is already in use. How do I transfer the SIM card to the $15 subscription?

HI @Jeannine_Ander1 

to save the sim card cost, you can use the esim on your phone to activate if your phone has the feature

or you can buy a PM sim card from Amazon for only $5
https://www.amazon.ca/Public-prepaid-postpaid-Activate-Allinone/dp/B06X9ZGDWG

then when you activate, added a friend code (on the payment step) and save $10 one time

..and not a lot of time, you can also add a promo code  AMZ4T2X7W  to save 40% of your first month

in the end, you save more than you think.

@Jeannine_Ander1, you might already know this but in case you didn't, you can keep using the same SIM card even if you change plans or change phones but you can't transfer a SIM card to another account once it's already been linked to an account before, a SIM card can only ever work with one account and then it's done. I don't think you're going to have any luck trying to get the $15 plan back as it's no longer being offered but you can always try pleading your case to a CS agent.

You will need to open a ticket through the Chatbot:

(and then type: Customer Support Agent)

Or, if you are having trouble with the Chatbot try sending a private message to:

Hi @Jeannine_Ander1 

There is no $15 plan currently.

Cheapest is $19 but that's for new customers only.

EDIT: One a SIM card has been used, it's now garbage and you have to purchase a new one. If you still have a chance to get your account back, in other words it's been under 89 days, I'd suggest getting it back as I don't see those $15 plans coming back for a long time. If you're able to get your account back, you can still use that SIM card.
