does anyone know if a seven-11 sim and/or petro sim work on unlocked GSM phones?, although both claim that their sims work only on their phones.
thanks.

New answer today...

They don't replace LOST sim cards!! If your SIM is rejected (gets locked) or the SIM gets damaged, they will send an IDENTICAL SIM for the $25 fee..

Glad I called back and got additional info.. Wierd though as I asked exactly the same question(s) today..

Oh well, sounded too good to be true!

Give them a call... that's what the CSR guy told me.

I asked, "after I get my new SIM, and activate it.. I find my old SIM, can I call and activate that card for a new phone".. the CSR said yes, but would have to be a different phone number.

Call and ask, then please post your response 🙂

Has anyone tried this yet?

Replacing a lost sim makes sense, but being able to reactivate the original sim is suspect, because I've never heard of cellphone company doing that (they always want you to get a new one).

And if you find your lost sim card, they can reactivate it in another phone.

Cool! So SO/PCM really do sell separate SIMs without having to buy a phone. All you need is a good story and $25 😀

Thanks for posting their response.

They are replaceable... $25 fee that is taken off the account balance and a new sim is shipped out....

And if you find your lost sim card, they can reactivate it in another phone.

Anyone with a petro can mobile phone feel like 'loosing' their sim?? 😉 😉 I'm on the market for a new one!

Probably yes and probably $25 since SO and PCM are operated by the same company.

Why not call PCM CS, ask them and post their answer here?

7-11 sells replaceable sim cards for a $25 fee (off your account).

Does anyone know if Petro Can does the same??
