How to Get a Free SIM Card

1. Contact your cellphone service provider if your SIM card is damaged or no longer functions. You can visit a store, go online or call the service provider. If you have lost your phone, contact your cellphone service provider to get a replacement phone with SIM card.
2. Ask for a new SIM card if your phone still works but the existing SIM card is not working. If there is no sign of water damage, the company will send a new SIM card to you or install a new one in the store.
3. Purchase a new cellphone handset from your service provider. While it will cost money to purchase the new phone, you will get a free unactivated SIM card inside the phone packaging. If you want to add a new line to your existing plan and your cellphone service provider offers SIM-enabled phones, you will get a new phone with a SIM card that is ready to be activated. The cards are included in the cost of the phone or plan.
