Can I re-activate my old iPhone 4S SIM card?

[Congo Javabase Resources]

I'm going to have to use my old iPhone 4S as my main phone until Monday. The phone has the SIM card inside of it right now, it's just not activated (T-Mobile).

All I have is the phone with the de-activated SIM card inside of it. I don't see any numbers to refer to in terms of re-activating it, though.

Will it be possible for me to use this phone as a temporary until my new phone arrives Monday? Or am I sore out of luck here?

The way it is right now it can only be used for emergency calls. (911) You could go to a T-Mobile store and have them activate for you. Just explain to them that your new phone is arriving Monday and you'll need to transfer the activation to the new phone. I don't believe they'll charge you for the activation if you're already a T-Mobile subscriber. Although they might charge you $10 for a new SIM card.

the numbers you need will be in settings, general about, ICCID.

ICCID is the sim card number that you need to re-activate.

last i heard t-mobile allowed sim cards to be re-activated, but i have heard some companies
will not reactivate sim cards and make you obtain a new sim card. and this was before att was locking the apple sim

i've reactivated att sims in my playstation vita, so they might just be stories.
