Thanks

Hi @jhsutton and no such thing as a silly question!!
Yes, of course you can. You can put your EE SIM into any compatible device you like.
Depending what phone you may fancy, you can compare the costs of buying the phone SIM-free and staying on your existing SIM-only plan, against buying it as a handset upgrade from EE.

Hi @jhsutton,
No, you don't need to make any changes to your account to use your SIM in a different phone.
Hope this helps. 🙂
