Can I remove the sim card from my iPhone and put it into an Android phone?
Is that possible? Will it still work? And where can I buy just an Android phone with no contract or anything, just the phone? Do overseas smartphones work as well?
As far as I'm aware you can. You can get an Android phone from any normal phone shop. (Vodafone, 02 etc.)
That depends on the carrier & the size of the SIM card.
Iphones uses a mini SIM card & MOST Android phones use the regular size SIM card. But there a few Android phones that use the mini SIM card, like the LG L9.
If you want to use the Iphones mini SIM card on an Android phone that has a regular SIM card slot, you're going to have to find a SIM card template that has been previously cut & put it together to fit it in the slot.
When I mean by template that has been previously cut, I mean in certain cellphone stores they cut the regular size SIM card to fit in phones that uses a mini SIM card slot. Go to any store & ask if you can get a template lying around to use.
If you don't want to have to do that, depending on the carrier, see if you can transfer account info to a regular size SIM card. This can be done by your carrier.
There's many things you can choose to do but i'm only giving you choices, how you wanna proceed its up to you.
That is possible, SIM cards hold your network information. The thing that you should make sure of is if the SIM card is the right size. The iPhone 3g/3gs uses a normal SIM, the iPhone 4/4s uses the microSIM, and the iPhone 5 uses a nanoSIM. If you use the microSIM in a phone that takes a normal SIM, you can buy an adapter. If it is the other way around you could cut the SIM to fit properly, but I don't suggest that as you may damage the card.
Where to get an Android phone:
You can find many online retailers that sell new unlocked phones. Www.negrielectronics.com is a good site, but costly. If you want to go cheaper you can use ebay.com. You can also check amazon.com for phones, they have a large variety. Best Buy has phones as well. Ebay.com, amazon.com, and BestBuy sell phones with contracts, without contracts, and unlocked.
Other notes:
Make sure you know the size of your SIM card, and check the size of the SIM card that is needed in the phone you want.
