Answer 1

No, you have to have a new SIM card. There are a few ways you can accomplish this:

One, you could buy a new GoPhone. That would let you use either your sister's phone and you could have the new phone as a spare or just because you changed your mood that day, doesn't matter. This gives you a SIM card/GoPhone starter kit automatically. There are a handful of phones on their website that cost $29.99, plus you can get a $20 rebate from DealKing. That means you get another phone and SIM card/Starter Kit for less than $10 net, and that includes shipping. Also, if you've never used DealKing before, you will get another $2 off.
