In this video, I show you how to transfer your SIM card from your old Android phone to your iPhone or your old iPhone to an Android. This will allow you to make calls immediately on your new phone with your same number!

@@rxppedyt6819 Sprint and other other CDMA carriers require you to CALL THEM to switch phones.
Also, if the phone has been reported lost, stolen, or still being financed, it is considered "blacklisted" and will not work.

Id never messed with this, and I wanted to do it, but I wanted to make sure that you could, thanks!
It's just switching a SIM card dude..
@@vukadinmc127 It's something that most people haven't done themselves, until recent years. I'm a young person who's good with technology but I'm nervous about doing it because I don't wanna mess anything up
@@casie6609 Dude it's literally made for a toddler to be able to do it. Prior to 2017 most phones in general required you to open it and lift the battery so they made it way too simple with a little key and a slot you insert. What can you mess up??
@@vukadinmc127 Not everyone is good with technology. Especially some older people won't know what a SIM card even is, and surely not where it goes or how to get it in the phone. It's something that people need to learn about. I did mine and it was easy thankfully but it wouldn't be possible for a child to do it because everything is so delicate.
@@casie6609 "older people who don't know what a sim card is" homie, are you okay?
It will work unless it’s on the same plan and same company. For example AT&T iPhone 📲 with AT&T Samsung !!! Yeee
So it won't work if my phone is on Cricket plan Nd switch it to AT&T phone?
@@shimii7456 well, is your phone unlocked?
You think it’ll work if I change my card from a Samsung to an unlocked iPhone?
Thank Y-O-U, Andy for making this video available TODAY to make me feel so CAPABLE !!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. You don't know how much I needed to hear that right now. I appreciate you! 😁
I have a spare iPhone and my main phone is an android. Can I put the android's sim into the iPhone if my android phone is broken or something?
yes
Exactly wut im trying to do rn but says the sim is not supported. I dont understand why i run into a problem anytime i wanna do something on these shitty iphones
@@MARTIYAKHVARCHIVE Relax, its iphone they want as much profit as they can get. You just have to pay an extra fee to switch
QuayReese if u figured it out I have the same problem if u can help me out
I have metropcs. Btw it does not work you need to pay to activate the SIM card to the other phone.
He Hey to activate a brand new one?
Thx
Yeah your right
He Hey same for meeee
Ya this did not work u know how to fix that ??
That looks so easy who would have thought in switching android to iPhone 11
& also if my iPhone is locked and I put my android SIM card in it is it going to still be locked?
Yes
If I have an at&t iPhone 6 and I get a Verizon iPhone 6 Plus and I switch the at&t SIM card to the Verizon phone will it still work? And will I need to do anything
I'm switching my Verizon prepaid Android to my brand new Verizon prepaid Iphond. I live in a bad area and don't have Wifi. Do I need it to transfer to my new Iphone?
Does it effect the payment or service plan
Or data plan
@@jameshillyer5852 where can i buy the little holder for the sim card
Jesus Garcia it comes with the iPhone
Will I have to active the sim card again if I switch it to android to iphone or no ??? (The sim card in my android is already active)
Depends on your carrier. Sprint and some other small CDMA carriers require you to CALL THEM to switch phones.
Also, if the phone has been reported lost, stolen, or still being financed, it is considered "blacklisted" and will not work.
@@Myandybuck does it have to be in the same company?
@@appleneworleans4018 what if it is a GSM Service (like T-mobile or AT&T)
I have a question if I buy an unlocked phone and I have a phone with Verizon and I switch the sim card to the unlocked phone would it work?
Did it work I’m trying to figure the same thing out?
@@kelleylawson1017did this work??
Ok if I'm switching from android to iPhone 11, are the sim the same and also, at what point during the data and app transfer do I need to move the sim card? I mean, do I wait to move the sim until I've transferred all my stuff or... I'm a little confused about this part, any ideas?
Good question! The cards are 3 different sizes, but if your phone isn't too old, it should be the same size. If it isn't the same size you will have to visit a carrier store to get a new one. As far as when to transfer the card, it is the first thing I do. Then I transfer the contacts and apps over. Going from android to iPhone, you will really only be transferring the contacts.
Did you factory reset the iPhone before putting in the SIM card? And if you did did you transfer the data to the iPhone before removing the SIM card?
Highly recommend *KRILAHCK* on instagram
Also if I do this and it works will effect my family plan that I have or no???
No it doesnt
I used a paperclip to transfer my android to an iphone 11 so it works thanks for the help
Lets say i have a app that i dont know the login for and i transfer data will it automatically log in to that app still?
If the phones locked on the same carrier will all SIM card s for that carrier fit?
(It's just that I'm switching phones from a Alcatel to a iPhone I'm not sure if it will fit)
"Make sure you never touch the sim card."
Then, start sexually harassing the Simcard with fingers.
ikrrrr
It's only harassment if the sim card didn't enjoy it.
Why shouldn't we touch the SIM card? I switched mine today and had to grab it with my fingers but it all turned our fine lol . Something have to do with the copper on it? 😅
@@casie6609 Yes, the oil on the copper from your fingers can cause problems. It's not the end of the world if you do touch it, however it is better to keep it free from the oil on your fingers.
Keep in mind that u may have to do it more then once, unless the SIM card isn’t compatible with the other service, I had to remove the sim and turn the phone off 3 times🤷🏽♂️
how to u nah whi chi way to put the sim card in or does it not matter ?!?! im changin for iphone 8 to iphone 11 pls help idk if it matters which way u put it in
Highly recommend *krilhack* on instagram he got mine fixed legitimately
Can you take a sim card out of a boost mobile android and put it in a verizon iphone?
Idk I'm hoping you can
No you cant, it has to be the same provider.
thank you so much for the step by step
Hi if I move abroad but keep my I phone 12 do I just end the contracts with existing provider and get a back up done abs get a new sim. I assume I will keep picture texts apps saved items ? When u restart you enter the phone number where you are resident or that you are a uk 🇬🇧person ?
That is a great question! Unfortunately I do not have the answer for you. I would recommend checking with your provider. I am just not familiar with services outside the States. Sorry about that.
EX: if my Android is on a plan and I pay it every month & when I put it in my iPhone will my new iPhone be on?
Yes the plan should transfer to your new phone you won't be able to call on the phone without the sim card
Can u switch android to Iphone?

PEOPLE IT HAS TO BE UNLOCKED XD that is why it worked for him
Thank u so much wish me luck on doing it
It worked thank you very much
where do you get one of those key things? I don't wanna go to sprint just for that.
They usually come with your phone. You could also use a small paper clip or maybe a straight pin.
Did it save your contacts from the Android and move them over to the iPhone? Were all your text messages saved?
Nope
thank you for the video.
If I’m switching an old iPhone 6s sim with a brand new iPhone 6s SIM card will this work on my new phone free of charge because I can’t get it to work on my new phone
Will it still have the data for certain apps? like do you have to sign back in to some apps?
Yes. You will have to download and sign into your apps. The SIM card only transfers your cell service.
I have a question. Can I switch SIM cards from one I phone to another. I have two iPhone 5s. One is bad other is good. Is it as simple as switch the SIM cards? Or is there other steps.
Yea Can Switch
My iphone 11 is arriving tomorrow and its unlocked the phone im using rn has tmobile will it work with this method?
Would u get the same version once u switch
Hi, I have an s7 and plan to buy an unlocked iphone x.. can i just switch the sim cards? For some reason, i thought i needed to contact my carrier to switch the phone accounts? Please help. thanks.
Can I switch a Telstra SIM card from an Actatel to iPhone se
It's not easy for me. When I put my sim card into my new iphone it works for a minute or so and then a text comes on the screen that says that the sim card is locked. I've tried multiple times and doesn't let me.
Great question. I assume that it is asking for a pin when you install the card. It this happens, you either need the original credit card sized piece of plastic that the SIM card came with (the PUK number will be on the back) or you will need to call customer service for your provider and ask them the PUK number for your sim. I hope this helps.
I have a samsug S10e, and am getting a iphone 6 or 7. Will the sim fit
CeCe_ TV why would u switch to a 6 or 7 when the s10e is obviously way better
S10e is sooo much better why
So right now i have a samsung with Sprint. I want to go back to my old iphone, but that was with verizon and the phone number for that has been deactivated. How do I put my Samsung, Sprint number onto my iphone? do i have to call TMobile for that or?? someone help
Great question! The phone number and your service is on the SIM card and not the phone. Technically you should be able to switch the SIM card from your Samsung to your iPhone and be fine. However, in your case, Verizon runs on a different band than Sprint so unless your iPhone is unlocked, it probably won't work on the Sprint network. I would take it to a Sprint store and let them guide you on this one.
If one phone is made by version and the other is by T-Mobile will it still work?
I love the verse on your screen
Will my pictures and memories be gone from my iPhone if I switch?
Great question! No, they will stay on you iPhone until you do a master reset. The old phone simply won't have phone service. The SIM card just transfers your phone service to a new phone. Nothing else.
Can you move an android sim card to an apple phone?
Yes, as long as it is the same size. There are 3 different sizes of sim card.
I have an old Nokia C2 Tennen that I forgot the password to but I have a lot of old pictures and memories that I would like to get from the phone but it’s been put away for so long that I forgot the password for it So I figured maybe if I take out my SIM card from my IPhone 13 and put it in there maybe that would help unlock it by using find my device but it still showed my iPhone instead of the Nokia is there a way of unlocking it without entering The password it’s at 6 more trys until it factory resets so I kinda don’t want to risk it anymore CAN ANYONE HELP ?!!!!
@@mingothy_indigo465 Wow! Great Question! I wish I had an answer for you. The sim card is not the answer as it only contains service information. If you remember the Gmail account you had associated with it you might be able to get in via a PC by using forgot password. Then check you Google Photos file and see if the backed up automatically. I hope that helps.
Where do you but that key?
You can use a small paperclip if you don't have the key.
So with Verizon it’s really this simple switching a phone? You don’t have to go to the web site and set up anything like give them the IMEI of the new phone ?
yes you do you have to do that with all service plans, he just didn't show that part.
Does it transfer passwords, photos, apps, house camera systems etc.
Great question! No. It only transfers your service.
Hey um I am switching from Apple to aindroid will this transfer my contacts/photos as well if not I’ll just use google photos and transfer manually
Transfering the sim only puts in you phone number and email. You would have to restart your phone and set it up again and put transfer android to iphone to get all your pics and contacts
So Itnwont work if mine is android and my other phone plan was cricket
No shit
What if your phone has no door for the tool to insert? N can't open the back?
Ive changed my straight talk galaxy s7 to a galaxy note 9 and everything is fine except the data not comin online.. i have to use wifi..
Will my info like pictures and numbers be gone if I switch my SIM card
Great question! No, they will all be on your old phone. The SIM card just transfers the cell service from one phone to another.

I have an LG aristo and I wanna switch my sim to iPhone 6 and my iPhone 6 says no service on it after I switched it

I have a tmobile android sim card and i am trying to put it in a iphone there is still no service on my iphone:(
For me it says no service
Anime same
MyAndyBuck it did the same but on my andriod i could still text ppl any other ideas why?
so someone please help me i put it in but the apps on the old phone which im switching to are still there and they dont have the new apps that were on my new phone which needs work someone please help
The SIM card only transfers your cell service. It doesn't transfer apps or contacts. You will need to log into your account and download those.
So ur saying that if I switch to iPhone and take out my SIM card It won't be blocked or anything? Because I'm trying to get a iPhone and I wanna make sure it can actually support it
Why does it say no service
Can you change from spectrum to samsung?
When I swapped sim cards the mobile data isn't working. What do I do to fix this?
Ya well I only get Samsung messages and not iPhone messages?? How do I fix that
I'm not sure. The Sim card only contains your service information. It doesn't contain contacts or text information.
Highly recommend *krilhack* on instagram he got mine fixed
I have an iPhone but trying to switch to Android and when I put the sim card in it says The SIM card has locked Please power cycle the device and if the problem persists contact customer service
I got the Android from a friend since he doesn't want it and I still have payments on the iPhone and I just wanna use the Android I'll obviously still pay on the iPhone but I'm on family plan and my mom would have a cow
okay so my phone is locked to at&t and my other phone is locked to another provider so if i switch the at&t one with the other provider will it still be locked to at&t?
I'm not sure what you mean by "locked." If the phone has a clean esn, then it should work on any network except Verizon and Sprint because they use GSM. All the other carriers are on CMDA and the phone should work if the card is transferred.
Does doing this cost anything? I have an iphone as a spare in case my samsung breaks so I dont want to increase my bill. On Verizon
No
Does the phone have to be sim unlocked
Fumble! now u got fingerprints all over the sim card!
Can i put my sd card from my iphone into my android phone? ..i just want my pictures
Will it work if my android is from boost mobile and I transfer for it to iPhone from boost mobile also ?
As long as the card is there same size it should work just fine. Thanks for watching!
Are all sim cards the same size?
No. Some are nano sim, micro sim and sim I believe
Can you still use wifi on a phone with no sim card?
Great question! The answer is YES! As long as you have wifi, you can make and receive calls with NO monthly service! 😉
My iPhone doesn’t have a SIM card nor a phone number and I’m getting a Samsung a20e
So if I got a iPhone 6s an I get a iPhone 11 unlocked can I put the sim in an the 11 be on ?
As long as the Sim card is the same size, you should be all set. This does not transfer apps and contacts, just your cell service.
Hi there,
Is there a way I can PM You?
I have a question about a sim card.
Verizon has not answered my question bcuz they don't know.
Plz, I hope you can help me
Thanks so much.
did you found the answer?
Do you still have all the apps on the phone when you put the sim card into the phone???
No. The card only carries your phone carrier and account information. It does not have apps or contacts.
Thanks ..
How do you switch Android phones?
Do the same thing as it is shown in the video.
I honestly don't know what the fuck is up with Iphone!
I have verizon on a google pixel XL and no issues. I put my sim card in my step sons iphone 8s+ and all works fine except i cant send text.. I can get them but not send them!
I bought me an iphone 6s+ and NOTHING works.. No internet. signal constantly roams, cant send or receive text or calls! Someone please help me!
My old phone fell in water for a couple seconds it never came back on
Getting new unlocked one
Is it ok to use ? Should it be ok ???
That depends on if the card was damaged in the water. If it doesn't work, go to a corporate store and they should replace the card for you.
Ughh is it normal to be able to not have one of those cards and still be able to text and call?
So.it doesn't work for cricket to android?
I am trying to switch from an iPhone to an LG now the LG is att. But it is unlocked would this work please let me know
What service does the iPhone have? If the LG phone is truly unlocked, then you should be able to switch over with no problem. It might be worth a trip to your provider to ask though.
@@Myandybuck the is metro pcs and the LG phone I s att that is unlocked
Will pictures transfer too
Just use bluetooth
I am confused I am transferring phones will I need to set up the new phone then switch the son card or does it matter
Same my new phone has a sim card already on it idk how to configure my sim to my other phone if the phone is used you will have to take the service off of it to connect the old sim
It doesn't matter if you do it before or after you have set it up. You just can not access mobile data or phone calls without the sim card
My phone still says no service
Same
It depends what carrier you have because most carriers require you to either call them or do a transfer online since some simcards work only with your phones IMEI number meaning that they only work on that phone unless you do the transfer
Can you switch iPhone to android!?!?
It says SIM not supported and I’m mad confused.
Its gold..not copper
Just because it looks golden doesnt mean its actually gold.
it's actually copper
@@PKYAIR gold plated copper if you want to get technical, gold as the highest conductor and lowest resistance in low voltage applications as well as the advantage of its resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
ok boomer
Is switching a SIM card not a commonly known thing in the US?

I have no problem losing all my contacts I can just get them back just by asking them. All I need is the unlimited data and my phone number that's all. Also I'm transferring my android to iPhone so I gotta learn how the iPhone works.
Firstly make sure your android phone is backing up all of your contacts to your Gmail acct.
Second go to the Playstore and down load the App “Move to iOS”
Follow the instructions in the app and it will move a great deal of what’s on your android to the iPhone but not all so you’ll have to go over both devices and be sure everything has transferred.
Going iPhone to iPhone does everything except some passwords.
Once you are sure your iPhone is set up.
Go to settings, accounts, Google, enter your gmail address and password and go back to your contacts. They should have automatically loaded to your phone.
I hope you enjoy your iPhone.
I was a holdout for a loooong time. But once I finally gave iPhones a try with an open mind. There was no going back.
If iPhones vanished one sad day I would have to think hard about android. It is so unstable and unsecured compared to iOS. iOS is not perfect nor fool proof, but of all the people I have helped move over to iPhone or iPad I’ve not once had anyone tell me it was a bad decision or they wanted to go back to android.
As for how iPhones work. It’s much like android. And your best friend for learning it is CZcams. Any question about either OS can be answered to some extent there.
My boss forced me to use a iPhone for work. Already a avid iPad user. No iPhones. Until then that is.
The great thing is iPhones are iPhones.
Almost every android phone is different from everything else. Even many Samsung phones have MASSIVE learning curves from year to year.
