Activation

jeffers242 · ‎08-10-2011

Hi I have a quick question about activation. I currently have a motorola atrix with the fat sim and 4g plan and i want to switch back to the iphone 4. I was just wondering can i simply insert my my old micro sim for the iphone 4 and plug into itunes to change my plan from the 4g plan to the iphone plan and i am good.

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks, Jeff

No, you cannot put in your old SIM and be good to go.Once a SIM is deactivated, it cannot be reactivate. You will need to get a new micro SIM and have that SIM activated and deactivate the SIM in the atrix.

What? You cannot de activate a SIM card. you cancle/suspend the line. If the line has been cancled for longer then 6 months, then it cannot be re-activated. If the line is suspended/active. Then you can do so. You cannot do anything with the SIM really. It's the line on the SIM.

He is not talking about suspending a line. He is talking about using a deactivated SIM (from a phone he no longer uses from the iPhone 6 when he got the atrix)
I was told that once a SIM was deactivated (when you got a new phone) that SIM was longer able to be activated.

no att will not reactivate a sim card once a new one was activated and replaced the old one however that is by their choice; they actually can reactivate any simcard of theirs at anytime if they so desire to but for general practices they dont.

AT&T's return policy has changed effective 10/07/12. You have 14 days to return the device & cxl without a ETF. Policy info HERE.
