Can I use my smart phone sim in a brick phone and swap it back when needed

[KristyG28]

My children’s school has recently banned smartphones so although my child will continue to have an smartphone out of school hours they need a brick phone to take to school to be able to contact me. Am I able to use my child’s current Sim and easily swap it back-and-forth to a brick phone?

Yes you can.

Just be careful not to damage it with the constant swapping.

Might be safer to have another PAYG sim just for the brick.

Thansk, i had thought of that but assume that means 2 phone numbers?

Yes, if you have another sim for the brick phone, it will be a different number.

That shouldn't matter though, if it's only used to get hold of you? 

Both numbers will be in your contacts as belonging to your child.

It will @KristyG28 but only you need that number and only your number is needed by your child.
