Sorry guys. I didn't follow-up. I had to go to the store and get a SIM that was not locked to the phone. Then it worked. I even previously called customer service to see if the card was locked and they said no. They were wrong, so if you get a card with a phone, chances are good that it is probably a locked SIM. I did have some issues after unlocking the phone but it may not be cause for concern. have a look at this thread if you are thinking about also unlocking your phone

SIMs really should not be locked to phones, but to your account and number. Even prepaid ones. But in my case, I do believe I got a stand alone SIM that was activated for prepaid. But this is the first I've ever heard of a SIM being locked to the phone, maybe except for the microSIM for iPhone. But even that can be inserted into a standard SIM adapter and moved.

Maybe you were supposed to activate the GoPhone first, then move the SIM? I did my activation in person though. I guess the corporate stores do have advantages.
