Does Iphone 5 take new sim card?
I'm about to trade my iphone 5 and i use verizon. The guy i'm giving it to has at&t. Does the iphone 5 take new sim?
You are on Verizon. Verizon is a CDMA network, meaning you don't use a SIM card. Consequently, AT&T customers can't use a CDMA iPhone as AT&T is a GSM network. So you would not be able to trade phones with him unless he was to take up a contract with Verizon. CDMA isn't as good because only very few countries actually use CDMA networks. GSM is more flexible and more widely used.
Yes, the iPhone 5 uses a new nano-SIM card, which is smaller than the micro or standard SIM cards
EDIT: British's answer is wrong, all the new LTE CDMA phones do take SIM cards, and the Verizon iPhone 5 is a dual-mode phone, capable of being used with CDMA or GSM networks. Finally most of the world supports BOTH CDMA and GSM services, the major exception being the UK, which is GSM only.
- If I buy a new iPhone, can I take the SIM card out of my old iPhone and use that? I just want to upgrade to a 5S (from a 4S) . My plan is on Straight Talk & I want to purchase the phone from the actual online Apple store.
- Changing from normal sim card to iPhone 4 sim card? I'm an AT&T customer with a smart phone. I'm wanting to buy an iPhone 4 but I know they take smaller sim cards than normal phones. If I buy an iPhone from an individual, can I take it to AT&T and have them give me a smaller sim card & transfer my information? Would I have to pay extra for it? Is it even possible?
- Can you use an old sim card in a new iPhone after transferring the info to a new sim card? I'm borrowing an iPhone from a friend, but it requires a sim card. He transferred all his information to a new sim card in a different phone. Can I use the old sim card on a different iPhone?
- Can you switch the iPhone 4 SIM card with an iPhone 4S SIM card? My mom has an iPhone 4S for sprint and I have an iPhone 4 for AT&T. Is it possible to switch SIM cards?
