Sim Card

Rach72 — Sun, 19 Sep 2021 14:57:39 GMT

Hi,

I upgraded my mobile yesterday from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 11. The new handset is due to arrive tomorrow.

I had a text from EE this morning to say that my new sim card has been dispatched and a link to click on to register the new sim when it arrives.

I’m confused as to why they are sending a new sim card, I thought I could just put the old sim card from my iPhone 8 into the iPhone 11.

Can anyone clarify this for me, please?

Hello @Rach72

EE often supply a replacement SIM incase, for whatever reason, you can't use your existing SIM or it doesn't fit your new phone.

Indeed you can. Both the iPhone 8 & iPhone 11 use a Nano-SIM (check here ) so absolutely that is the best thiing to do.
