Why even bother putting your SIM in? They don't check or even
care if the IMEI is active on that SIM/account. I have unlocked several
phones using friend's and families accounts and all they care about are the
90 day and credit within 30 days on that specific account. In the past
I had a few go through that were new accounts even or definitely under 90
days old, but, they seem to have become less flexible on that lately.
