Pixel 6 & 6 Pro - New sim needed?

I’m a current T-Mobile customer buying an unlocked Pixel 6 Pro at Best Buy.

Will I need a new sim or just activate with my current sim?

    This is for those who are here for the same issue as I posted above.

    I went to a T-Mobile store and I will need a new sim (for 5G). The good news is the new sim is compatible with my current phone and they went ahead and replaced it now. When the new Pixel 6 comes in I'll just transfer the sim.

  • you’ll want to get a 5G capable sim card if im remembering correctly.

    Thanks to both of you...a new sim card makes total sense. I'll stop at a store and confirm that. Perhaps they'll be able to give me the new sim in advance of actually getting the new phone.
