Need a new sim card for Virgin Mobile 5S

We purchased a phone on ebay for a Virgin Mobile plan and it didn't include the SIM card.  I went to the apple store and they gave me a Sprint Card SIMGLW406C and took it and tried to activate it and it won't work.  I called Virgin and they said I needed a SIMGLW416C.  I called the apple store again and they told me the only VM/Boost/Sprint card they have is a SIMGLW426C.  Will that work in the phone to activate it?

If not on Virgin, it could work with other compatible providers, assuming the device is unlocked. I'm sure you got a better price on eBay than you'd get buying it from Virgin unsubsidized, but you could get a refund from the seller to put towards a Virgin purchase, or ask the seller for advice. You could also message the sellers of the other SIMs and get their advice. If you had something in writing that their SIM would work one way or another, I'm sure you'd be entitled to return that as well.
I've never heard of being able to start mobile service without them wanting your device IMEI and to have you buy a phone or SIM from them.

  • I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?

    You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

  • Do I need a different SIM Card for the new iPhone?

    Do I need a different SIM Card for the new iPhone?

    The iPhone 5 will come with a new SIM Card in the iPhone ready for you to activate. If you want to make things a bit more difficult, you can cut a Micro SIM to the Nano Sim size with scissors. Of if you have any problems with your iPhone 5 and its SIM Card you can get a new one from your Carrier. But, again the new iPhone 5 will come with a new one for you.

  • New SIM card for iPhone when transferring to another person?

    So my Grandfather is an early adopter of all things Apple - and decided he doesn't want the iPhone he bought and set up six months ago. He gave it me and now I intend to transfer my old number over to his phone with a new ATT account and cancel my Verizon account (and toss my horrible Palm700).
    ATT told me I have to go to the store and buy a new SIM card since his number is tied to the old card and that a hard reset doesn't clear it. Any truth to this?

    You will need to get a new SIM from ATT. Sometimes ATT will charge for the SIM and other times, they give them to people for free.

  • Is iTunes needed with new SIM card?

    Is it necessary to sync with iTunes before a new SIM card works in an iPad? I'm just thinking about what to do if I got a SIM card while abroad for roaming and obviously wouldn't have a computer to sync with. Thanks.

    Thanks for the welcome and reply. I suppose another question along the same lines is if I swap over SIM cards I have already registered and used with different providers, does that also require a sync with iTunes?
    For example, I live in Belfast and am in Dublin quite regularly. Although the iPad is not yet officially available in Ireland (Republic of), it is here in the North and I will be trying to get a something that will let me roam cheaply and easily in both places.
    I just read a question and answer from Apple and Mossberg regarding your question. Apparently, SOMETIMES, you have to connect to iTunes if you switch SIM cards. They gave no clarity as to what may or may not require you connect to iTunes.
    I think, from what I've read, you have to connect the first time, but you may not have to do so in subsequent switches.

  • Will I need to buy new SIM card for iPhone 4?

    Will I need to buy a new "micro-sim" for the iPhone 4, or is a sim card already included?

  • Need a new SIM card tray and cover for Nokia Lumia...

    I just got a Nokia Lumia 920 in white and when I tried to open the SIM card tray to put in my SIM card, the tray went flying and I can't find it.  Does anyone know how to get a replacement tray?  I have a great phone that I can't use so I'm freaking out right now.  Nokia customer service said all parts are sold on Amazon.  Not true because this one is not.  Tried eBay and Google search to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

    @White920
    As a new model parts will still be very scarce and one source was quoting me 3 week wait for a screen replacement.
    It is quite true that one supplier does advertise SIM tray upon Amazon when available:http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0085LV7Y4

    Preferably you would use a n AGP based graphics card as your radeon 9600 is. The PCI-x slots have lower bandwidth and would be slower.
    Possible Upgrades
    Radeon 9800pro
    Radeon 9800XT
    Radeon X800XT
    Radeon X850XT
    nVidia 6800GS/GT
    nVidia 7800
    All of which are in demand and short supply at present due to the new RoHS recycling requirements.

  • Need recommendations: New graphics card for HPE-400y

    Hi!  I'm in need of a new graphics card, but I don't know which one is best for my computer.  My computer is a Hewlett Packard  HPE-400y.   Click here for specs!
    My computers has all the original parts except the PSU and HDD. I recently changed the PSU to a Corsair CX430.  The current hard drive is a WD Caviar Black 2TB. 
    I use my computer for Guild Wars 2, Maya (models and animation), Zbrush, Corel Painter, and Photoshop.
    My current graphics card (Radeon HD 5450) has issues playing Guild Wars 2. The FPS is 30 or lower if I try to play the game with medium or high settings. The FPS also drops when I'm playing the group PVP event known as World Vs World. I often have to have the graphics on the lowest setting in order to get 30 -45 FPS.
    You can find the Guild Wars 2 requirements here: GW2 official wiki -- requirements info

    Hi,
    You should be able to get a double wide card in your PC.  Length may be a problem due to all of the cables. If the space below the optical drive is open then you might try to stuffing the extra cable lengths into that location.
    BTW-- very nice photos.  Not many will go through the effort to do so.
    Consider trying one of the below graphics.  
    MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF  Both of these graphics cards are significantly faster then your existing 5450.
    Know what the return policy is before your buy.
    You have an excellent Corsair power supply. I would prefer that you had a 500 watt PSU so that the higher performing graphics cards could be tried.  This NVIDIA GTX 660 specifies at 450 watt minimum but the 12v amperage from your Corsair CX430 is more than sufficient.  It might be worth giving it a go.  It's about 50% faster than the above two graphics cards.  I typically don't recommend that graphics cards be used with PSUs below the graphics card manufacturer's minimum requirements but the Corsair CX430 should work.
    HP DV9700, t9300, Nvidia 8600, 4GB, Crucial C300 128GB SSD
    HP Photosmart Premium C309G, HP Photosmart 6520
    HP Touchpad, HP Chromebook 11

    New Nvidia Quadro/GeForce Drivers for OS X 10.8.5 (12F45) + CUDA Update
    Monday's news had a report from a Mac Pro owner that the (Sept. 19th) Nvidia Driver Update for OS X 10.8.5 (12F37) were broken by the OS X 10.8.5 Supplemental Update (12F45). Wednesday he sent a FYI on another driver update. (Popup from the previous install's web check I assume.)
    "New Nvidia driver for 10.8.5 Supplemental restores functionality
    Recently I send you a mail, describing a problem with Nvidia drivers (for build 12F37) after updating to the latest supplemental OS update (12F45).
       Yesterday, a friendly window popped up, asking me to download a new Nvidia Geforce driver. After finishing, I can use the NVidia driver again within 10.8.5. (12F45)
    Just for completion.
    Kind regards, Jörg"
    Thanks Jörg. After getting his mail I checked the Nvidia drivers download page again and there is now a new update available (as well as a later Cuda version). See Quadro & GeForce Mac OS X (12F45) Driver Release 313.01.03f02 which also refers to a later CUDA driver - v5.5.25. (Driver page's Additional Info tabs have install info.) '
    GTX from EVGA is a 680, but some do go for a PC version 670.

  • I just got an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to use it on tmobile. I have restored the phone but every time I put in my SIM card for t mobile it says no service. How can I fix this?

    I just got an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to use it on the t mobile network. The thing is, I've tried restoring the phone so I could use it. I haven't tried my sim on other phones yet. But I will try to see if it works. The iPhone is supposedly factory unlocked btw. Anyways, when I put in my tmobile sim, it searches for the service, but it always ends up saying NO SERVICE. I checked that my network says that the "phone not allowed". So I don't have 3G on this phone I presume. I heard that you need 3G to have service is that correct? But how do I resolve it? The iPhone does know that my phone carrier is tmobile. It just says no service. And I've tried restoring it three times and turning it off and on and it won't work. I don't have a data plan for tmobile tw! Hopefully someone can help! Thank you so much in advance!

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

  • Now I need a new Graphics card for CS4

    Hi -
    So I took the plunge and upgraded to CS4 - then discovered to my annoyance that Matrox aren't bothering ('corporate decision') to write drivers for their AVPE card to support WYSIWYG with CS4. Great, so a £200 card is now on the ebay pile and my 10 year (expensive) relationship with Matrox is over.
    Now I'm faced with a problem, I've always had Matrox graphics cards in all my edit machines, the WYSIWYG plugins make things easy and they do work well- or did.
    Please can anyone advise me if there's a card out there which will give me the ability to run two monitors as a desktop, and have a feature monitor showing my edit.(all VGA connected) With Production Premium CS4 I'd like 1GB of memory as I'm planning on editing some footage from a RED camera (or trying to) - with the Nvidia or ATI cards - is there software that allows you to set up which monotor does what - and does this plug in to Premiere After Effects Photoshop etc?
    I have 2 PCIE slots, and don't mind I suppose having two graphics cards in the machine, will this work, if I insert a for example Nvidia GTX 260 alongside the AVPE will that work, letting the Matrox handle the desktop and the Nvidia the Feature monitor, or would I be better having two GTX 260's ??
    I have asked the boffins at PNY if they think this'll work and they say - maybe, though the card will only support certain codecs.....really? they're getting back to me on what those might be.
    My system is
    Supermicro X7DWA N 16 gb ram
    XP pro SP2
    PSU 600watt
    monitors are Benq - analogue all VGA
    Adobe Production Premium CS4 with Cineform 4K
    This is an area that is quite hard to research - none of the manufacturers websites answer the questions that come up and so I have to keep calling up tech support in various different countries, then wait while they go and find out.
    I'm hopeful that someone out there has an answer - thanks for reading - any help appreciated

    Hello Harm
    Thanks for the reply, I was hoping you would, and also hoping that wouldn't be your reply.
    I don't want to tie up my camera and have it on full time, just to get less quality than I was getting on the computer monitor as a feature monitor I was getting last week. The quality is really good, and I find it much easier to see for drawing masks etc and for colouring and grading - I guess die to having loads more pixels.
    I can't accept that there isn't another solution and so I'm looking for one, even if I have to buy two GTX260's, I'd rather spend the £175 twice (or the extra £175) than have the camera in and out of it's box every time I want to edit and then the cables everywhere, I went tapeless to get away from that and sold a couple of cameras that I could have used.
    I'd like to find out if having one nvidia 260 and my lovely obsolete matrox card will work, or if two 260s will give me the result I need, and so in the absence of any person who can tell me, I'll just have to give it a try, annoyingly, my mobo isn't SLI capabole, so I'll be wasting some of the potential of doing this, but may get the system to work again.
    Can't express here how annoyed I am with Matrox, if they produced a card tomorrow which could shoot edit and composite award winning material which would keep clients happy from now to eternity for $1 - I wouldn't buy it.
    I'll post the results as I go along.
    My alternative is to go and buy a 6 foot monitor to use as a desktop.
    Can't believe I'm the only person to have fallen foul of Matrox's failure to provide service.

  • Do I need a new GFX card for FCS 2?

    "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)"
    I don't speak this language. I have a Power Mac G5 Quad. When I go to "About this MAC" it says that I have PCI something, but nothing about "Express Quartz Extreme". Will I need to update my graphics card before installation.
    Many thanks, and pardon my ignorance.

    If you have the basic Power Mac Quad G5 it came with the Nvidia GeForce 6600 with 256MB memory.
    You have no need to worry about your GFX card.
    You can see that you have "Quartz Extreme" supported by looking at the Graphics/Displays tab in System Profiler.
    (the "Express" part belongs with PCI, not Quartz Extreme. You have a "PCI Express" card.)
