I added a new line and bought at new phone from t-mobile, all online.

Received the phone, but there's no sim card included. Now I have to wait for them to ship me one. It's been several days and I've received no notice of shipping or anything. This is a new line for my elderly mother, who now has been without a phone for days.

Can I go to a store and get a new sim card ? I don't understand why a new phone on a new line wouldn't automatically come with one.

As a new T-Mobile user myself I am no expert.  But two thoughts:

1.  Some new phones support eSim, meaning they no longer need a physical SIM card to be activated.  Read more here: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/sim-esim

2. If you have access to a local brick and mortar T-Mobile shop, you should be able to get a SIM card if needed, and they can ensure it is activated properly.

 

Hope this info is helpful.

Regards,

James
