Generally speaking, yes. Verify that your current provider supports it.
Having said that, your provider may offer you a deal. Of course ymmv
Make sure the phone is sim unlocked too.
It should be, the phone is an old iPhone 11.
You can verify by going to Settings->General->About.
Towards the bottom there should be “Carrier Lock” and it should say/list “No SIM Restrictions”.
If it doesn’t, you’ll need to call your provider to have them unlock the phone.
I don’t have the phone yet, so I can’t check that. I just know this is what the purchase screen showed.
Sorry, I meant to say for your current phone. Otherwise you’ll have some sort of road block if the carrier sees your current phone as locked. I had that issue with Sprint years ago.
Yikes, well it shouldn’t be locked.
That will be sim unlocked
Thanks, appreciate the clarification.
Thanks, it says no sim restrictions.
