Solved: Do I need to swap my sim?

Joannemack · ‎01-04-2022

Hi all. Just (finally!) Received my Samsung s22 and it came with a new sim. I was expecting just to put my old sim (Samsung s10) in and carry on. Do I need to swap to the new one?

Your new sim is required for 5g. Guide: Sim Swap: a mini guide 2017 update

Otherwise, just use your old sim.

Thank you! I dont think I have 5g in my plan so may as well just use the old one!

5g is included for free but you do need to be in an area that has 5g.

Not all do yet.
