    It's not a SIM it's a UICC card. You cannot replace them on the Craft, Indulge or Esteem because they use the older versions of the card that have to match the phone it was originally paired with. With the Samsung Attain and future LTE devices, these cards can be interchangeable, and can be replaced.

    On a side note, the Attain is the Samsung r920 aka the Chief. Someone a few weeks back said no, it was the Tikal r940. I just wanted to state that I was indeed correct

    Off craigslist, he probably paid cash...

    and basically for nothing. It won't work without the card it was paired with.

    That's why it's not a SIM card as it's not your account card, it's the card that authorized it to work on MetroPCS LTE network.

    Your creed may be interesting, but your deeds are much more convincing.

    When did this become TracFone?
    LOL

    Their GSM phones are the same way, the SIM card only works with the phone that it shipped with, unless the SIM is eventually deactivated and they send a new SIM for it.

    Well this is not really a SIM as Chaz and Mark said, this is a UICC which is in place for the LTE network and works with the phones ESN.
