Move sim to new phone?
I plan to buy a new unlocked Android/GSM phone to replace my existing unlocked Android/GSM phone. Can I just swap the current sim into the new phone and good to go?

Is it possible that the SIM is 5G capable even though in a 4G device? I just signed up so the SIM is only 2 months old.
If the SIM has a small “R15” printed on it, you have the latest and greatest model and should be good to go.
Be aware that you may have to do some setup and migration of files, photos, address books, etc. Most new phones come with an app to help with that.
A SIM from a few months ago should be capable of 5G. You need to ensure the device you buy though is capable of VoLTE on T-Mobile and that it has the appropriate bands to work on T-Mobile's service. 2, 4, 12, 41, 66, and 71 are the important bands to make sure the device is capable of and the same applies for 5G as well.
