Tracfone Sim Card Errors

[Exile3]

Hey guys,

So I purchased around 20 Tracfone prepaid phones. I'm currently trying to activate them, but 19 out of 20 of the phones have invalid sim cards.

Is there any way to get new sim cards faster than calling and creating an account for every single phone?

Also, has anyone run into this problem and/or found a solution to it?

Thank you for any input you can provide

How are you trying to activate the phones ?

Online on all of them. And then I called and went through a bunch of crap to be told I need a new sim card.

i have always did it as call in to activate which might be the reason u might be having the problem

Tried that as well, but they keep getting the errors too and wanted to send me new sim cards :(.

However, I figured out the zip code I was causing the problem. Once I changed the zip code to a large city, rather than a nearby town, everything straightened out.

Lesson learned. Thank you for input Sln531
