Continuing this saga of trying to register/activate a T-Mobile UK PAYG SIM from the US, here is what I have concluded. It cannot be done without first activating it in the UK (unless I have an expired SIM card). I obtained a top up voucher and had it applied to the phone number by calling T-Mobile UK. That worked, but the SIM would still not activate here in the US. A chargeable call must first be made with the SIM in the UK. Thanks to all who suggested possible solutions.
