Do I need to sim swap for my old Samsung Galaxy S3?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I recently upgraded to a second 12 month contract. I'm still using my old Samsung Galaxy S3 and I don't plan on getting a new phone anytime soon.

 

Do I still need to sim swap or is that only for a brand new phone?

 

Thanks.

Save the sim until you get a new phone then you'll have a new one of the correct size to hand.

If the sim is the same size you can carry on using the old one. Just make sure it is a 4G sim.

If you haven't upgraded any tariff to 4G you should be fine...I used my old sim from my S3 in my new Note 3 for a month....but I changed eventually as my new phone had 4G capability and the S3 was only a 3G sim..
