Getting your old information off a TracFone Sim Card...?

How can i do it? I have put it in 2 other TracFones and got 'sim card not readable' or something to that effect. Put it in a T-Moblie and Sprint phone and got the same error.

    The other answer is, in part, incorrect.

    The SIM card reading or not has nothing to do with how the card is made

    Their SIM cards are locked toONLY work with the original phone it was programmed for.

    You can't get your info off there, unless you have the original phone it was programmed for.

    Source(s): I've done SIM switching with my TRAC SIM. I took a SIM out of a V170 and put it in another V170 and it would not work.

    yeah, tracfone sim cards are usually made pretty cheaply, so they only work in the phone they were intended for and can't convert to other formats, so you can't get the information to another phone.
