Just make any call out like *777 and counts as activity I believe. I think that 7-eleven has no idea when a phone is bought with certain number, so it will last indefinitly until activation. I also been told by CSR that they will replace a sim for $25, pending if you still have the damage sim.

After a number of months (I don't know how many) 7-11 automatically reassigns the telephone number but if you call them they will assign a new one and activate the phone.
Note: I believe that even after you have activated a phone, after a number of months of no activity, 7-11 will discontinue your telephone number even though you have money in your account. I'm not sure if they charge you to reactivate it.

How long will the SIM card last if I never turn it on? I'm asking cause I wanna get the 711 package for the phone and airtime. Since I already have a SIM. Can I just hold on to it for a few years and will it still work or activate when i put it in another phone?
