I got a new phone and sim card after I lost my phone. But now to activate it I need text message confirmation. I can't receive texts! And online chat help isn't available. I have to call to resolve it but I don't have a working phone? What do I do?? Do I really need to make a big trip out of this and visit a lucky mobile store??

Hey Fieldsy420,

If your phone is stolen you will need to call customer service right away and mark it as "Lost or Stolen" and give them your new SIM number so they can do the SIM replacement for you.

The option you are trying to use if from transferring an existing working SIM to another SIM (Even I dont know why the option is there at the first place, there should be a SIM lost or stolen function which can easily help you to replace your SIM after asking verification security questions.)

Hi, I recently bought a sim card for Lucky Mobile and wanted to activate it, I selected "Use old Phone number", when I don't have access to my old phone number because I lost my old phone.

The online account says to phone a number to contact , by the time I was able to see a number and call then after I finally get to an agent it rings and then picked up then disconnected. 

How do I re activate my new phone with the new sim?  No option to chat and no phone to talk. When I did use my friends phone I was hung up on twice after going through a long process of automated recordings.
