Invalid Sim Card?

I think this might be a more appropriate section for my problem.

So I bought off a 'New and never used' sim card from Dave in this thread (https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-exchange/2speakout-sim-cards-30ea-shipped/page-1/) but when I activated it, it became invalid.

I contacted SpeakOut Wireless but they said the original phone number of the sim card was already registered to another sim card.

They won't/can't do anything because I'm not the original owner of the phone number and I can't prove that I was? If it was never used I don't see how that happened.

I've already given them the Sim card number, asked them to change the number, asked for a replacement, asked what they could do.

Said: Nothing because I'm not a SpeakOut customer (invalid sim card?) and they can't provide me service.

So basically I'm out $30 with an invalid sim card and no SpeakOut service to help me.

I'm hoping someone would have a solution to my problem that would mean getting a valid sim card and working service from SpeakOut without spending more money.

It was possible that the phone number of this sim card had been ported out. If so, this sim card would become useless (garbage).
