can i switch sim between iphone 6s plus (current phone) and moto g7 plus (new phone)?

Im planning on getting the motorola and want to keep both phones, one as a back up and to use on nights out etc

@jl45 as long as it's the same size, yes you can, but the data settings are different, so you'll need to use the apn "mobile.o2.co.uk" on the iPhone and switch your data type to standard data by calling customer service.

You will have to adjust your apn's if you are going to switch between phones and possibly contact customer service each time to amend your data bolt on. If you plan on getting another network for the iPhone or passing to a family member them make sure the phone is unlocked.

@jonsie, iPhone will run on standard data with the apn I gave above. VVM won't work on that though.

It will but not ideal if you want all the features of an iPhone.

thanks @MI5 , what is vvm?

[jl45]

which features wont be available? @jonsie

thanks @MI5 , th apn has a user name and password, where do i get this from? i can see on iphone it is set to idata.o2.co.uk and u/n is vertigo but i cant see the password

@jl45 

vvm is visual voicemail, but normal voicemail will work. That's about it really, most other stuff will work fine.
You just need to change "idata.o2.co.uk" to "mobile.o2.co.uk" and leave the password the same.
