Can I put my t-mobile sim card into an iphone?

I have an older phone. T-mobile is the service provider. I have a plan that gives me lots of texting and minutes with no data.

So can I buy an iphone (or maybe another smartphone) without the service, and then insert my t-mobile sim card into it and still get the texting and minutes, and also get wi-fi?

If it is unlocked you can. In a few months tmobile will sell iphones so if you use a tmobile iphone

You can, but not yourself! Bring it to the Apple Store to ask someone do that for you.

You can out the t-mobile SIM into iPhone if you satisfy the following two

1. Your iPhone is unlocked. Unlocked iPhones sell for whole lot more than with contract iPhones.iPhone5 unlocked starts at $649.
2. The SIM size matches with what is required by iPhone. Most older phones use a regular sized SIM. IPhone4 uses a micro SIM. IPhone 5 uses a nano SIM. A standard SIM can be cut to micro SIM by a cutter; local mobile shops/kiosks usually carry that cutter. Or you can buy a cutter yourself; they are inexpensive. See this video -
Or you can just order a micro SIM from t-Mobile. SIM cards per se are very inexpensive.
I'm not sure if cutting is all that is required to make a std SIM into a nano SIM. The video referred to above suggests that cutting is all that is required.

  • I broke my iPhone 5s and got an iPhone 4s. Can I put the SIM card from the 5s into the 4s? My iPhone 5s got wet and I fried it when I tried to turn it on so it is shot. I bought an iPhone 4s as a replacement and I was wondering if I can put the SIM card from the 5S into the 4S so I wouldn't lose contacts, messages, ect. Has anyone tried it? Will it work?
  • Can you take an iPhone SIM card (sprint) and put it into another iPhone and it will work? My brother completely destroyed his phone. It's sprint. Can I buy an unlocked phone? Or do I have to buy a phone from sprint?
  • Can you put a T-Mobile SIM card into an iPhone 5? So i have a really crappy flip phone and i really want an iPhone, I'm currently saving up for one. But I'm not sure if you can put a T-mobile Sim card into an iPhone. No no no, I don't want to cut the Sim card, I'm not taking that risk. Can I buy one from the T-mobile store? If so, what am I supposed to ask for? And will all my contacts/data be on the Sim card when i buy a new one?
  • Can you put a T-Mobile micro sim card into an unlocked iphone 4s? My brother recently gave me his iPhone 4s since he got the new iPhone 5, so I can't make calls, or text, or get on the internet (unless I have Wi-Fi). I found my way into the sim card slot for the iPhone, but my MyTouch 4G sim card is too big.Me and my Mom are going to go the T-Mobile store to get a micro sim card so I can transfer my data onto it, so I can put it in the iPhone. Will it work?
