BEST ANSWER:
IF you entered a wrong PUK code 3 times you disabled you phone and the sim card is no longer valid. You don't have to throw away your phone as previously noted. Yeah you could and upgrade if you want but if you want to keep the phone, do it and look for the punch out card that the phone's sim card came with. On it will have the phone's PUK number on it. Enter it and you phone will no longer be disabled. The other option is to contact customer service or go into a reseller of Tracfones and explain what happened and they would be able to look up your PUK number for you or in some cases the retailer may simply give you a new SIM card, however a cost may be involved, roughly $5. Yes, look for your punch out card, or contact customer service. Avoid the fee.d

Which Tracfone models have the T5 sim cards and which have the C4 sim cards?
The C4 sim card shows that ATT is the carrier for that certain phone. The T5 sim card shows that T-Mobile is the carrier for that phone. Tracfone borrows from other carriers to provide their service. If the tracfone has a C4 sim card then there will be a P4 at the end of the model number. If the tracfone has a T5 sim card then there will be a P5 at the end of the model number.

Can you take your old net10 sim card and put it in to your new net10 phone and receive the call that would have went to your old phone and if there was minutes on your old phone will they be on my new?
The TracFone / NET10 SIM Card is very unique. It can only be used in a phone sold by TracFone or NET10. Once a phone is activated the SIM Card is tied to the Serial Number of the phone. It can not be removed and placed in a different TracFone or NET10 phone. It has to stay with the phone it was originally activated in. The units/minutes are not stored on the SIM Card they are stored in the phone itself. The TracFone / NET10 SIM Card can not be used in any other GSM technology phone. TracFone and NET10 both have an elaborate database of all the phones they have ever sold in it. You can not activate a phone unless the Serial Number is in their database. If you purchase a phone that has not been properly scanned by a retailer you will not be able to activate it.=You can not change the SIM Card and activate a TracFone on the NET10 website and you can not change the SIM Card and activate a NET10 phone on the TracFone website. If you try you will be directed to the proper website for activation.==There are three types of SIM cards currently being used by TracFone and NET10 depending on the Zip Code you will be using the phone in the most. SIM cards with a part number ending in C4 are on the AT&T/Cingular network, cards ending in T5 are on the T-Mobile network and cards ending in D6 are on the Dobson network which was recently acquired by AT&T.==You do not have to buy a SIM Card for a TracFone or a NET10 phone. A replacement SIM Card will be sent to you FREE of charge if you request one. You can call TracFone Customer Service at 1-800-867-7183 or NET10 Customer Service at 1-877-836-2368 . When you call press 1 for English, press 4 when the first menu starts then press 5 when the second menu starts to talk to a Customer Service Representative. The replacement SIM Card will be shipped to you by Express Delivery.==Do not be fooled by eBay sellers claiming their TracFone / NET10 SIM Card includes 10 to 20 units/minutes. A TracFone / NET10 SIM Card does not include any units/minutes. A new or reconditioned TracFone or NET10 phone comes with Starter units/minutes when activated. This is done by the Serial Number of the new or reconditioned phone. It has nothing to do with the SIM Card.==Note: A TracFone SIM Card is used in both a TracFone and a NET10 phone. NET10 is considered to be the Frequent User Division of TracFone.=
Can a net 10 prepaid sim card work in a t mobile prepaid phone?
Net10 & Tracfone lock the sims & the phones. So you couldn't even use a net10 or tracfone sim on another one of their phones.
Can you use consumer cellular sim card in tracfone?
NEW ANSWER: I have an iPhone with AT&T and previously had a phone that was with Cingular. I have taken the SIM card from both phones and have put them in the Tracfone and can use it to access information about the services from the companies kind of like PC mode but you can't do calls or access the internet. You can't do anything really with the AT&T SIM being it's a smart phone SIM. I had to play with it to try and get it to show up but it did not want and gave system unavailable messages. Best thing to do is stick with Tracfone SIMs. Or if your savvy, program a blank SIM by copying your current SIM or a host of options available on the internet to get you going with a new SIM programed for Tracfone without having to go to a retailer and get one, which is really easy to do so why not just do that. However, if there's a will there is a way, so if you want a way to trick your Tracfone to work using another carrier's SIM, check out the internet on how to do that and get the codes and info. I won't state how here since that's unethical and hey, I'm ethical ahem, but hey, the Internet is a free place to check out and learn from. So have fun. HINT: Amazon.com is a great place to buy SIM copiers, blank SIMS, and everything you'd need if going that route. PRIOR ANSWER: i beleve it has a very small possibilty of working. i have a Motorola tracfone c 261 and if you go to the code entry mode under prepaid and type *#121# it displays "CINGULAR1". it is in amongst the WAP info. this might just mean that you can go to the cingular WAP webpages using tracfones service.
