There really are only two wireless companies in the US that use sim cards; they are T-Mobile and AT&T/Cingular Wireless. These companies are referred to as GSM carriers. All most all other carriers in the US do not use the GSM technology that uses a sim card. These carriers are called CDMA carriers and they include the following: 1. Verizon Wireless 2. Sprint PCS Wireless 3. Alltel Wireless 4. US Cellular 5. Cricket 6. Metro PCS 7. QWest If you have a cell phone account with a CDMA carrier like Verizon, your phone does not use a sim card and will not work with one. Sim cards only work with GSM phones Verizon is CDMA. Not GSM. Therefor, SIM cards will not be compatible w/ Verizon phones This is all I could find out right now..

Thanks for the best response. I am hoping it was helpful for you. I searched around for a while till I got the right answer..cause I am clueless about the cell phones and had to go to look for it.

I don't think ANY prepaid cell phones use SIM cards. (Don't they?)
