Switch from iPhone 6 to iPhone 6 plus on same carrier?

So I just broke my iPhone 6 screen. My dad has his old 6 plus lying around (He got an s7 the other day). We both have Verizon. If I wanted to switch phones, but retain my phone #, could I just put my SIM card into his phone? Or is it more complicated than that?

Yes you do that, use a pin or something small that can take it out, like a paper clip.

Even if it didn't fit you could just have the carrier send you a new SIM, they do that all the time for people switching phones.

  • IPhone 4 sim locked, same carrier? I have two iPhones here, an iPhone 4 7.0.2 and an iPhone 4S 6.1.3 both are not jailbroken and recently i switched the contents of the phone and switched sim cards as well. Both sim cards are from the same carrier and both are being payed monthly (post-paid) when I switched sims, the sim i used on my 4s is locked on my iphone 4, but the sim on my iphone 4 is okay with the 4S. Again, they are of the same carrier. How do I fix this without jailbreaking?
  • If I buy an iphone used from another carrier ad buy a sim card from my carrier will that work? I have an iphone 4s with virgin mobile and I want an iphone 5 but all virgin mobile phones are so expensive! I looked on ebay for virgin mobile nano sim cards and they are only around 2 dollars. If I bought one of these sim cards and a used iphone 5 from another carrier would it work with my carrier?
  • If I buy an iPhone off of someone do we need the same carrier? I'm interested in buying an iPhone off of a friend of mine but she has Verizon while I use AT&T so I was wondering if this would cause a problem in any way. Can I switch the phone from Verizon to AT&T or do I need to purchase a phone in which was initially from AT&T? What I'm trying to say is, will purchasing a phone off of someone with a different cell phone company than my own make the phone unusable to me?
  • How you restart iphone and switch to different carrier? Ok we figure apple store they reset the iphone we figure out you need verizon to get it unlocked but after what do you do you go to AT&T then after you go on the itune to set it up how you restart process
