I recently made the adult decision that I didn't need to get the new model iphone out or upgrade my perfectly working phone (especially since its only really like 6 months old after I dropped and smashed it and got a new one through insurance). HOWEVER, I think my phone (iphone11) listened to me bragging about being sensible and going to sim only because since I made the swap after my contract ending it keeps freezing and switching off. Sometimes after restarting I can't even open an app before it's switched off again. It's so infuriating that I can barely use it and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I did read somewhere about taking the sim card out which I have done but it hasn't made a difference.
Apologies, but I'm not clear what your query is. You've posted with the subject line of "swap from contract to SIM only" which is just a change of payment plan, but your message seems to be asking about a faulty phone?
Surely it can't be a coincidence that since the sim swapped to sim only that there are problems with it? It had to be a direct correlation when there were no problems previously?

This is just a change of payment plan - nothing more, nothing less.
A SIM-only is a contract plan in exactly the same way as any other pay-monthly plan.
