Can old Rogers sim card be used to activate Chatr service?

**hsedin** · 01-15-2012, 01:29 PM

I am planning to sign up with chatr tomorrow, having read through several threads, I am still trying to figure out if I can use an old Rogers sim card (not used since new phones upgraded had new sim cards).

I have an unlocked phone so I know I can use that with a $10 chatr sim card but I was wondering if I would be able to activate chatr with an old rogers sim card so that I could save $10?

Thanks in advance!

Yes you can. Several users have reported that you can use it. Call first and ask or go to the chatr website and give it a go!

I had 3 old Rogers Sim Card, tried to sign up and picked number, enter Address etc, and at the final steps, it says my Sim Card number is already used (happen with all the 3 Rogers sim card I have). I guess Rogers may not have "discharged" the 3 old Sim Cards I had, so I can't use it even though they are "unregistered" if I put it into a phone now?

^ Did you get the three sim cards from hardware upgrades over the phone, if so those sim can only be used on the numbers that it came with. Example: You lost your existing sim card on phone A, you can now use the sim Card that came with Phone A as a replacement

...Hi group! I bump up the thread ..... I order a sim from rogers to use it on Chatr .... when I try to register the sim on Chatr, the website tell me the sim number are invalid .... the sim is brand new ....

Any clue, or need to order a Chatr sim??

Thanks!

It used to work. I have tried it before.

However, it has stopped working for me since a couple of weeks ago. I think Chatr is catching up. They really don't want people to mix Rogers and Chatr together. In any event, a new SIM is only $10.
