Phone Sim card swap/change

JuP2020 — Sun, 10 Nov 2024 21:41:58 GMT

If I order any of the galexy phones from here. Would I be able to do a direct o2 sim card swap from my old phone to use the new phone without any need for uncoding, etc? I Would like to continue using my old numbers, and apps, etc. On the new phone.

Hi there and welcome to the Samsung UK and EU Community Customer to Customer Forum

Thank you for your question.

Most devices today use either a nano SIM or an e-sim

If your current device is nano, then yes you can absolutely swap it from one device to another.

That said, if you've had your SIM for a few years, you may need to get your network to change it to a new one to ensure everything works as it should.

If your current device uses an e-sim you'll need to speak to your network to cancel the old e-sim and provide a new one for your new device.

Depends if you are keeping phone changing number might be an idea once you've transferred the data over if you wanted to ?
