Is it OK if I install the new SIM card before I activate the account? We're going our old phone to an elderly relative and I'd prefer to install the card before we give it to her, even though she won't have activated it yet
Solved! Go to Solution.

You can go ahead and install it
The card will not work
It will not ruin the card, no worries
You may have to restart the phone after activation for it to properly work

Yes, you can install the sim. Only emergency calls from 911 can be made.

Yes that is fine, but make sure the phone is unlocked.
