I have an iPhone 5c and my son has a Xperia M4 Aqua, they both have nano sim cards and are on thr same contract (monthly).

 

Unfortunately, he doesnt like his Sony so I have offered us to swap phones. Can I just swap the cards over myself and he can start using the iPhone, or do I need to go to O2 shop for them to lock the sim to the specific phone?

 

Many thanks.

 

Mark

Sorted out all ok in shop, with refund on previous upfront cost and a handset change  - really don't know why they refused it earlier, must have thought it was an existing upgrade and not new!

 

Obviously down to the staff you speak too in these places.

 

Many thanks.

 

 


Well done,

So,,, what did you exchange to...?

I'm sure he will be ok with that, nice phone and he should get the hang of cloud storage.
