Thanks man! Getting the Pixel 5a with 5g on Friday can't wait to swap the SIM card. I have a very glitchy LG v40 ThinQ the store we went to 2 years ago to get an upgrade told us the camera on them were amazing but my Pixel 2 XL took way better pictures than this garbage phone I put up with for the last 2 years. Bought my new pixel 5a out right for $450 and now if anything happens I'll just get another one. I swear phone insurance is stupid. Just buy a reasonable mid range phone with good all around performance and take care of it till it's too dang slow. Even cheap smart phones are amazing these days. Anyway thanks again for the quick tip

Congratulations and thanks for the comments. If you are moving from a 4g to a 5g phone, you will need to get a sim card that supports 5g in order to use the 5g capabilities. Be sure to go to a corporate store for your carrier and they should give you one for free. Privately owned stores will charge you for the card.

Thank you very much for the video. I noticed that you put the 2 SIM cards together, in the new phone, one on top of the other. Is that always compulsory? or should I put just the new SIM card in the slot? Many thanks.

He didn’t put two SIM cards together. The SIM card tray on the old phone just holds the card around the edge with a rectangular hole in the middle. But the tray on the new phone has a grey backing piece in the middle that may give more support to the SIM card. The new phone doesn’t come with a SIM card. To verify this for yourself pause the video at time stamp 2:43 where you can clearly see the SIM card tray that he removed from the new phone, then take a screenshot and zoom in on the SIM tray.

I don't know if this is possible, but I have a friend who gets a work phone from his business and he says he can use it for personal items. BUT he wants an iPhone and it is a Samsung galaxy now. Would he be able to switch the SIM card if it went from Verizon Samsung to Verizon Iphone? Also would his work find out about it?

It should work just fine as long as the SIM card is the same size. (There are 3 sizes). The only way I could think that his company would know is if there was some app that was specific to Android that he needed to do his work that wasn't available on Apple.

Hey I got a question, I just got a new phone for Christmas and when I was going to switch my old SIM card to my new phone, there was already a SIM card in my new phone. I know that it switches over the provider, but I switched in and out both SIM cards but nothing changed at all, regarding the provider. So is it useful to switch over my old SIM card to my new phone despite the provider doesn’t really change? Thanks!
@Myandybuck
@Myandybuck 3 жыл бұрын
Good question! When you order the phone from your provider, they oftentimes include a sim card so that you can just call in and activate the phone. In this case, you can switch the card or activate the phone with the card they sent. I'd just activate the phone with the card they sent.

Great question Madison. If the SIM card is the same size, then it should work. However, some of the pay as you go companies only support certain phones so I would check with Tracphone to make sure that their service supports the Xr. I'm not completely familiar with Tracphone so please double check before attempting. Thank you for the question!

As long as the card fits both phones, you should be able to switch the card at will and use whichever phone you want. That's actually something I have been thinking about doing when I go hiking or jogging so that I don't have to worry about dropping my note 20. Great question!

Tracfone has notified us that our old phones are no longer going to work and we have to switch phones. At what point in switching over do we move the sim card? I wish they would have included step by step instructions with the new phones. We do'nt want to loose our days and minutes that we'vealready paid for on the old phones. Happy with our old slider phones, and also disappointed that we won't be getting triple minutes anymore like we did with these older phones. (But what are you gonna do?) Thanks!!!

My opinion would be to make sure all of your contacts, pic, and apps are connected to your Google Account. Apps should already be. You can choose to back up photos in the Google photos app. Add your contact to the Google contacts. Now when you set up your pixel just log into your account and they should all be there.

Great question! There could be a couple of reasons. You may be going from a 3g or a 4g phone to a 5g phone. The new 5G does take a different SIM card. Another reason may be because you are going from a CMDA phone to a GSM phone. This happens when moving from Verizon or AT&T to another carrier. I hope that helps to answer your question?

Great question. There are 3 sizes of sim cards. If the size is the same, then it will work. If your current phone is only 4g, then you will only receive 4g service even if you have a 5g phone. So, if you are moving from a 4g phone to a 5g phone, you will want a new card to maximize the service. If you go to a corporate store, they will usually give you one at no charge.

Can you download apps and run everything in either phone that has the sim card? Can you put the sim card in a tablet?

@@loubecker8784 you could do that, however if all you are wanting to do is download apps to a phone and don't need to make calls, I would just connect the phone to WiFi without moving the SIM card and download the apps you want. Then you can use that phone like a tablet with only WiFi access.

@@Myandybuck I'm sorry. That was rude and this has been annoying me for days. I really meant no offense. I'm switching from a moto stylus g to another one but new. It's been way more complicated than I expected. I can't get service when I switch cards. It literally does nothing. Oh, both phones are the 2023 version btw. I tried connecting them together with a USBC to USBC and file transfer menu pops up but when I click either option, file transfer or photo transfer, nothing happens. The old one is cracked to hell but works fine. Walmart said they don't set them up for people anymore and when I called the number it went to a tech company that said they are not related to Walmart family mobile and gave me the main Walmart number. When I called they talked a bit, put me on hold for about 25 minutes then hung up on me. So yea I apologize for sounding rude. My bad. Cheers!

@@xxbioklismxx1850 thank you for the apology. I appreciate it. Life can get frustrating. Swapping the sim card doesn't transfer data, it only moves the phone service from one phone to another. As far as your situation, my favorite way is to use my Google account to backup my phone and then log in and restore on the new phone. I haven't made a video in that, but maybe that should be on the list. 😀 Good luck!
