Can I use a SIM card from Android to iPhone?

Can you take the SIM card out of an iPhone and put it in another phone?

There’s no such thing as an iPhone SIM card, Apple only manufactures the phone, not the SIM. The SIM comes from whichever network you use, and will work in other phones. You may need an adapter, however, as iPhones take nanoSIMs, whereas other phones might take regular or micro sized SIMs.

If I Put My Samsung SIM Card in My iPhone, Will It Work? You can Insert a SIM card from a Samsung phone into an Apple iPhone to use the device with your existing service account. If you use the Samsung phone with a different carrier, on the other hand, its SIM card only works in unlocked, or “jailbroken,” iPhones.

If your Android device uses nano-SIM, then the SIM cards in the iPhone 5 and later will work. Conversely, for example, if you have an Android phone that uses nano-SIM, and an iPhone 4s that uses micro-SIM, you will need to cut it from the larger size to the smaller size so it can fit in the smaller slot for SIMs.

Your SIM card allows your phone to connect to GSM networks. When you insert your SIM card into a different unlocked phone, you’ll be able to use your service on it. Similarly, if your phone is unlocked, you can insert SIM cards from different carriers into it, which can be useful when traveling.

The Samsung Galaxy S (not S2; S3; S4 or S5) uses a mini-SIM. The iPhone 4 uses a micro-SIM. While there might be a way to Flash a SIM card, but a new SIM card is so cheap it is not worth it. Besides, SIM cards must be compatible with the device as well as the carrier.

Apple has not changed the size of the SIM card on the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. The SIM slot accepts a Nano-SIM card, same size as the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s. Apple moved to have the Nano-SIM standard approved to save space in the hardware design of the iPhone 5.
