Things to note when buying a nice SIM or phone number

• Make sure the SIM as well as the phone number are not activated: An unbroken SIM does not necessarily mean the SIM is not activated. Check by calling the network switchboard to check your subscription or register for a postpaid subscription with a new SIM.
• Only pay in full when receiving the SIM: pay after receiving the SIM, do not pay in advance to avoid the risk of buying a junk SIM or not having the SIM delivered.
• Careful about the store that supplies the SIM: with rare and expensive SIM numbers, you can buy it at stores that sell directly or buy it on the official website.
• Needs to be a transfer contract with activated SIM numbers: the contract needs to have clear terms and the signature of the old owner to confirm that the old owner has transferred ownership to you.

Besides, agent stores of network operators also sell at mobile phone stores. However, you should choose a store with a high reputation.
