When you switch SIM cards on an iPhone, your phone number will change, but you wont lose any data that is not stored on the SIM card. Here are some things that will happen if you switch SIM cards on an iPhone:
- You can start using a new phone number to make calls and send SMS messages.
- You will be able to use WhatsApp.
- The cellular network and cellular packages will be put into use on another iPhone.
- Your previous phone number wont be accessible.
- None of your iPhones settings will be affected when you swap SIMs since the SIM has nothing to do with the data stored on the phone.
- If youre using a new SIM card temporarily, you probably dont have to inform everyone that youve changed your number. However, if you want to switch SIM cards permanently, youll have to inform your contacts of the number change.
Its important to note that if you change your SIM card for a SIM from another carrier and the phone is locked to the original carrier, then it will work as a fancy iPod, none of the phone features will work. Additionally, its best to make a backup of your iPhone before switching SIM cards, as the SIM card may be physically damaged during replacement and you may lose your contacts.
