A "burner" phone, or any other cell phone, won't work without a SIM card, which isn't really a card. It's a small chip that you insert either inside the phone, or in a small slot accessible from the outside.

The sim card is the carriers information and identifier for the phone. cayugafalls Jan 2021 #1
