Yeah, I call bullcrap on that one. I'm 99% sure that a SIM card can't be "switched", "activated" or "added" to a totally different network. SIM cards just don't work that way.
If anything like that is possible at all, it would be a serious bit of hacking, not something you could just call up and have done. The only way I can see it happening at all is if you completely wiped the SIM card and cloned the info from another one. I'm not sure that's possible, and even if it is, you would still run into whatever normal SIM locking issues you would have with the SIM card you cloned.
