SIM Won't Activate
Long story short--last phone was returned (it came with a SIM), now the existing SIM from old phone will not activate.
This has always worked in the past. I contacted CS and they couldn't activate the SIM; they said I needed to go to a store and buy a new one for $25! Then CS said they could send a new one for free (I opted for that, but still hasn't arrived).
WHY is the old SIM no longer able to be activated by CS?
I should mention this is an ancient dumbphone which had no IMEI code inside back of phone, but we were able to retrive it with some keypad codes.

You can get a new SIM whenever you need one, but they usually come free when you upgrade to a new phone. Again, you may not always need a new one.
I'm not sure about alternating between using a standard-sized SIM and a microSIM. AT&T will probably not cut you some slack every time... 😉
It could be possible that other phones in the future will begin using microSIMs, but there's still some time to go before AT&T and the phone manufacturers will make the final decision.
