That's unfortunate that they would do such a thing like that to you I would suggest unlocking your phone from its provider and then getting a prepaid SIM card from either Verizon AT&t boost Mobile or any of those prepaid providers you can normally get cards from Walmart rite aid some gas stations Dollar tree family Dollar or from the provider itself but most of the times they give you a big hassle just to get a card so going to a small store like Dollar general will have these cards provided for you most of them are a dollar to get started you just have to get the card and activate it with service I hope this helps
