AT&T is one of the most popular cell phone carriers in the nation. They provide some of the most technologically advanced devices, such as the iPhone. In order for an AT&T cell phone to function, a SIM card needs to be installed. The SIM card holds the phone's information such as contact numbers and addresses. If you have an existing account with AT&T, it is possible to purchase and activate a new SIM card.
Instructions
Activating a AT&T SIM Card
1. Purchase a 3G SIM card from AT&T or any online retailer offering them. An AT&T SIM card costs from $5.50 to $12. Only existing account holders can buy a separate SIM card.
