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.

oddly enough i had the R15 sim when they merged me over from Sprint..but about a month ago they said i had to switch to a different sim card (which i forgot to ask which one it was) but they removed my R15, scanned a different one then put that one in.
guess i’ll have to unlazy and pull it out and see which one they changed me to at some point lol.
