Keeping your current SIM card
If you already have your new phone and it uses the same SIM card size as your old one, you can simply transfer your existing SIM to the new device.
If you’re switching to a new phone that requires a different new SIM card or if for any reason you wish to replace your current SIM card with a new one, you can change a SIM card online in
