replacing broken 21 ultra with s22 ultra

I’m replacing my broken S21 Ultra with a new, unlocked, US version, S22 Ultra I purchased from Samsung.

Can I use the sim card from the s21 in the s22, and how do I activate it with T Mobile? 

Found the answer to the sim card question. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/tutorials/device/samsung/galaxy-s22-ultra/topic/esim

What is the best way to transfer contacts to the new S22 Ultra?

    If you're using the old sim,  you don't need to activate it. The number is tied to the sim.

    I tried using the sim card from my s21 but it would not work, until I called T-Mobile and had it assigned to the new S22. But all is good now works great.

    That’s strange. We just switched sims on my wife’s Pixel 7 with no issue.
