Seeing "Invalid SIM Card" on your US Cellular device? Here’s the fix order: The new phone’s IMEI must be in their database

"Hi, I am getting an 'Invalid SIM Card' error on my [Phone Model]. I have already restarted the phone. Can you please verify that my SIM card's ICCID is paired correctly with my device's IMEI in your billing system? Also, please check if my IMEI is on the 'Device Management Database' as a compatible 4G/5G device. If it is, please push a new OTA (Over the Air) activation signal to my phone."
