If I have a Sim card on my phone with an unlimited data plan (Metropcs) can I put that same sim in a tablet or some other phone and use the data or do I need to register the device for the sim to work?

My question is does the sim operate on it's own and doesn't care what it's powering or is a sim card tied to a specific device?

I dunno man, I've put my sim in a bunch of other devices and it works fine in all of them.

SIMs are not device-bound, you won't have problems.
>>
>>55720248
your device might be sim bound however

Usually they are operator-bound, which can be fixed with sim unlockers on android / nothing on ios / automatically by windows mobile

The SIM doesn't care but sometimes phones do care.

For example if you buy a phone with a contract then (here in the UK at least) a lot of the time the phone will be locked to that network. As in, if you insert a SIM from a different network the phone won't take it. You can unlock the phone by phoning up your provider but they're jews and charge for the privilege.

As long as the device has the GSM radios required, then yes, it will just work.

For me I just bought a new phone outright and put my old sim in it and it worked fine so it must operate on its own.

I'm on prepaid fyi

>>55720248
if the sim has been reported stolen you can block the imei of the device you try it out in, that is why i never try out unknown sims.
