Other Unlocked phone questions

[Appl3FTW]

For the ones who ordered no sim unlocked phones

1. do you pop the SIM card from your current phone to the new phone or do you get a new Sim from your provider?

I heard we need to get new Sim frequently so it has newer features. Is this true?

2. even though I like the no sim unlock feature, I’m kinda paranoid thinking I will have to open the sim tray and “break the seal” of the tray. Anyone else thinks like this?

1. Yes, you can transfer your old SIM to the new phone.
2. If you don’t care about 5G access and carrier factors related thereto, your old SIM should be fine.

I called my carrier ATT and asked them about a new SIM a card. They said I didn’t need one. I’m in NH with not much access to 5G so that wasn’t an issue for me. I having been swapping SIMS for the last few phones with no issues.

1. Yes
2. Depends. When I got the 12 Pro, I inserted the Sim from my 11 Pro Max. After I inserted, I got a text message from Verizon that if I wanted to have full features for 5G I needed a SIM card that said 5G. Also I could not send MMS or take pictures within the message app (my friend uses Samsung). So I ordered a new SIM card that said 5G and went to my Verizon account and activated the new SIM card over.

You would be fine with your current SIM card you have.

I want the 5G feature, I’d have to get a new sim then.

ATT said you can use your old sim, you just need to call them and have them provision it for 5G.
