sims card and if it is going to be locked if I put it in my old phone or will it work for me ?

Will the sims card work in any other cricket phone or will it lock up the card if I try it and it won't work in the phone that I have it in now because I don't have any way to get it charged and the cricket store is a very long way from me and I am going to be without a phone if I don't do anything to get the problem solved and I have a good phone just not sure if I can do that and I am not going to get the answer from the bot or I would already have the answer to that question and I don't have any time to wait for a live person to help me out with the damn simple question I am asking
