Can I use my sim in both an android and Iphone?

[Spritely]

As per title. I have a Galaxy S9 phone, but I will be getting an old iphone 5 shortly to use some specific music software that only works on an Iphone. Can I swap my sim from the S9 to use the Iphone temporarily without upsetting the android setup on my sim?

Hope that makes sense?

@Spritely The data settings for iPhones and Android differ. See these links:

Yes you can.

The iPhone will work fine as a phone with your current sim, but you will not get iPhone specific features, not that it sounds like that will be a problem for what you want to do.

Thanks for the reply,

Glad to hear I can use my sim with the Iphone, and it should still be ok when I put it back in to the S9.

I was thinking the only other way would be to get a new PAYG sim for the Iphone, but how long would I have to sign up for - if only a year then that would be ok.

Perhaps I am over thinking/worrying about it, and should just use my sim.

@Spritely A payg sim cam be 1 hour to infinity.

There's no commitment at all.
