Need a SIM card for my new phone

I ordered a new phone through xfinity and switched over my old phone number, only to be told I need to insert a SIM card that was supposed to be in a separate package that I have not received. Is there any way to see if the SIM card is on the way and possibly track it? I have found a phone number to call to order a new one but I don't want to do that if there is already one on the way, and I couldn't do that anyway because I cannot make the call without a SIM card.

Your SIM should already be installed in the phone you received... did you check?

I did not check. It looks like there is one installed? The setup program previously did not want to complete because it said I needed the SIM card and the installation tool from the start-up guide (that I did not receive); it was saying emergency calls only, after I reinserted the tray with the SIM that message is gone, should I be all set up now?

Yeah, it looks like everything is working. Kinda embarrassing on my end but thank you very much for the heads up!

Hey don't be embarrassed it happens. :)  They used to include it in a separate card and you installed it yourself but that changed last year so you're not the only one who doesn't know. Glad you found it!
