Hi y'all. I've noticed alotta sellers on Ebay do not include the microsim with their used Metro phones. Is it possible take the sim in a current phone, such as the LG Motion, and use it in another, such as the S3 and S4? Or would I need to buy a new one from the corporate store? Or does each phone come with a unique sim locked to it ala the LG Esteem?

If you went from like the motion to an esteem, yes, but going CDMA to GSM, won't work, you need a new sim.

Most sellers do not include the sim card because they put it into new phone. If you take a Sim card from Lg Motion and put it into S3 S4 F3 F6 it's not going to work. There are 2 type of sim cards CDMA and GSM phones. Lg Motion uses CDMA sim. All new Metro phones use GSM sim cards.
