Switching SIM card to new phone
« on: December 25, 2016, 01:23:20 PM »
I have a new ZTE Axon 7 inbound to replace my Nexus 5.  The Nexus is running Cricket, a MVNO of AT&T.  Theoretically, all I have to do is remove the SIM card from the Nexus and slot it into the ZTE, and my service will seamlessly transfer over, correct?  I would think that if I am reusing the old SIM, I don't have to go through the activation process again.

You are one lousy risk manager.

In theory yes.

Yes.  I've done this several times.  You'll need to install your apps and config settings, but the service itself will transfer seamlessly.

I have a cheap flip phone I swap my SIM into when I want a smaller or cheaper phone for certain uses (mountain biking, boating, etc).
