- In the video, we transfer the SIM card from my old iPhone 7 to the new iPhone 12 pro max.
We go over the differences between using the SIM card on the older iPhone 7 versus the iPhone 12 pro max as we transfer the SIM card.

Also, I use Mint Mobile because it's one of the only cellular providers in America to offer FREE 5G with their regular plan whereas Verizon and others make you pay $10/month extra to get 5G.

This is definitely an ad for apple the amount of times he said “iPhone 12 pro max”
Lollllllllll verbal SEO maybe? Thanks for paying attention to that 😂
I was your 100th like
Bro facts

Yk what I did I put it in backwards 😭
Negative 3 rizz talking to his missus

Took me a year but I finally understand now what you meant 😂
Mans contact name for his gf is, “My Girlfriend”
Obvi I changed her name 😂
So his mates think he's got one. It's actually his mum.

This is great! I can use my current plan for my new iphone!
Very helpful, getting ready to replace my iPhone 6 with a 12. Thanks for the info.
Oh you’re very welcome! Glad it helped :) and good luck! Don’t get a clear MagSafe case lol. The iPhone 12 is pretty strong as is, so get a nice comfortable case you like
LOL me too!
Huge upgrade
Replacing my iPhone 7 with a 11 pro max
iPhone 6 to 13 pro . Thanks it was easy
Easy to understand, good photography, thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
QUESTION: I’m on a family plan under Verizon. I have an XS Max and bought a 12 pro max yesterday. I was wondering that if I transferred the SIM card to the new phone will it show as a change in device on the billing and data on Verizon account if my dad checks?
Have you found out? I want to get a hone before Christmas but verizon has them on back order and I can get one at walmart but I’m not sure how to buy the phone there and connect that phone to my current phone number and data.
Unfortunately, you 4G SIM in your XS is Not compatible with the iPhone12 (5G). Even the online self serve change your device feature won’t work. You need to call Verizon customer care and have them change your device for you over the phone.
Did you find out what the answer is?!
OMG! The iphone 12 pro max is huge!!! Either the size of a comparable luggage or surfboard. Can't wrap your hand around with thumb and either middle/index finger. The only thing that's good about it is the charge capacity is fantastic. No thanks! I'll stick with the sleek iphone 12 pro. But then again there are many Apple users prefer the iphone 12 pro max because of the charge duration that holds up very well. Each to their own. That's why Apple puts out many sizes with their iphones
Lol yeah it’s huge. And yes def the battery is amazing. Takes me all day sometimes two days to drain the iPhone 12 Pro battery lol 😂
My new galaxy s21 ultra is huge compared to my s9
Please do a updated version this year please 🙏🏻
Update would be to just get an eSIM! So no more physical sim! Here’s my latest video on eSIM, and while it’s on the iPhone 15 pro, it is applicable to the 12 pro! ua-cam.com/video/yEElHQkyMuQ/v-deo.htmlsi=7Pwj0aQcAompHegW
Doesn't work quite this way on T-Mobile. Recently got an iphone 13, moved my sim card over from an iphone xr ... couldn't make calls. Had to call support to get it fixed.
That's very interesting. You think it would work right away. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks I just ordered a new phone and wondered how I was going to transfer my card over
How did you get it fixed ?
@@Bryan-ci6ej called support to get it working. But have since moved to Verizon. I was tired of carrying two phones, one business and one personal. I wanted both lines on one phone. Which is completely doable. T-Mobile said they couldn’t help me because I was originally a Sprint customer. And the former Sprint network wouldn’t support it. I hated ditching $65 a month for two lines. But Verizon had no problem putting both lines on one phone. So I switched.
Thank you so much Apple for not charging us an extra $20 and a trip to Office Depot for a paperclip.
You can use a toothpick
@@2ko49 or a ear ring
Or a thumbtack!
Should I transfer information (apps, contacts, etc.) from the old phone to new phone before switching the SIM card or after switching the SIM card?
Normally after turning on your new iPhone and going through the setup, it will ask you right away if you want to transfer all the information from your old iPhone to your new iPhone. To my knowledge, they ask this question even before you transfer your SIM card.
If you are buying a new iPhone from iPhone 12 and newer, I just made a UA-cam video on how to transfer your eSIM! Because iPhone 12 and newer you don’t have to use physical SIM cards anymore
The video: Transferring eSIM to iPhone 15 Pro - Took Less Than 2 Minutes!
ua-cam.com/video/yEElHQkyMuQ/v-deo.html
I have straight talk and the two times I’ve bought a new iphone and switched the SIM card I’ve had to call the phone company to get the sim to work on the new phone.🤷♀️
I think the don’t like me buying an unlocked phone cheaper from someone who isn’t them, so they make it harder for someone to switch it to another phone.
Interesting to hear! It’s always best to buy unlocked iPhones!
Anyone know if I can transfer the SIM card between phones? Like I want to use two phones but use the same sim.
U have to ask the network ur with right now for a pac code
Oh hey sweetie I’m calling u from my new iPhone 12 Pro maxxx😊😊
😂
Hoping this will work from an 11 pro to a 14 pro! (The 14 pro model here in Canada still has a physical SIM card tray not eSIM)
Wow nice!
helpful video, thanx!... i cringe every time u slam ur phones down and scrape them across the table... nonetheless, good video
Lol thank you! And it’s all real too they’re just that slippery!
I put my old sim in my new phone and I still don’t have service
did you turn off and turn on the iphone again?
Thank you !!! Tired of going to my phone store and they tryna charge me to switch my SIM card
🥹 did it all work out?
Thank you soo much for helping to fit the sim in my new phone. iPhone 12 in blue I got it for my anniversary 🥰💙💙💙
You’re welcome Darsh! 😊

Today I’m swapping my IPhone 6s for an IPhone 11! As long as everything is backed up it’s alright?
And did you have to sign into cloud on your phone?
That’s awesome! How’s your iPhone 11?
My iphone XR just broke and im putting my sim from that phone into the iphone 7 and it doesn't connect any advice
?
Did you turn the phone off then on again?
I did this exact thing, took the SIM card from an iPhone 6 plus to a XS Max, and it says no service 😭
That is very interesting! Did you turn the phone on and off? Also what service company?
What is you have a phone with signal and you wanna put an old phone with no signal into the current phone for old pics form old phone will it work
I don’t think your old pictures transfer to your new phone unless you opted for icloud
This will not work with Verizon. Transferring a SIM from a 4G iPhone 11 to the 5G iPhone 12 had a issue from Verizon stating that 5G will Not work with the 4G SIM card. Had to call Verizon to transfer my iPhone 11 number to my new iPhone 12 , with the original 5G SIM back in the iPhone 12.
That’s interesting. Tbh starting since the iPhone 7 I’ve only bought unlocked iPhones. So I’m not beholden to any carrier 😅
Will the data be there? Because my phone don’t got data on my new phone
Sorry I don’t have an answer. Did you find out?
About to do this with my new iPhone 12 Pro Max let’s hope I do everything correctly
Good luck!
Wholesome
Thank you!
hey bro i just got a new iphone 12 and set it up already does it matter if it’s not in factory reset mode when you put the old sim card into the new phone
You should be fine!
I was thinking he was going to say oh wait I don’t have a girlfriend
🤫
"Thank yoy so much to Apple for giving us a sim removal pin, it's like they knew we would transfer our old simcard..."
WTF! $100 phones give this for free too (and a charger!)
😂
How did you get cellular data??
It just came with it!
Does your old iPhone (the one with no SIM card) still have its number stored on it? i.e. if you receive imessages on your number, will you start to receive it on your iPhone 12 AND the old iPhone? Or does your old iPhone lose its number? For example, if you go to settings -> messages/FaceTime, does it still show your number?
Your number follows your SIM card to the new phone. Long story short: you shouldn’t be receiving any more text messages on your old phone.
Longer answer: that depends on your settings. Because if you have iMessage text messages allowed for your Apple ID email, then there’s the chance you could get iMessage texts to both the old phone and the new phone at the same time if the old phone is connected to WiFi.
Did that answer your question?
So when you change your SIM card from your old phone into your new one, is all your data in the new phone ?
that’s what i’m trying to figure out
@@Enqusa. ong
You mean like phone numbers and pictures and stuff? No. You’ll have to transfer those over!
can you do this with an government sim card?
I don’t know. That might be better to ask your government? Or Google it?
Thank you!!!!
You’re welcome 😊
This is called "Sim Swap". I do not recommend that because the old SIM on the IP7 is outdated. If you buy a new iPhone, activate a new SIM card for free instead. The old SIM will not support all the new technology that your Iphone 12 has like 5G. If somehow you can't activate the new SIM right away, this is YOUR LAST OPTION.
Is swim swap safe or no?
@@squall8842 sim swap is safe for emergency, like you have to call or text someone. But for the long run, get the sim card that is compatible with your new phone internet feature.
Do the new devices usually come with a new SIM card?? I have 7plus now and preordered the 13 max pro. Will that new 13 come with a new SIM card or will I have to go to my carrier to get one?
@@aluna2778 For online order, you can pick the one that already have your carrier SIM card in it and activate it when you pre order. When you get the phone just set it up and your number will be automatically transferred to the new phone then it’s ready to be used normally OR you can come to an apple store and do the same thing. An sale specialist will help you go through. But I would recommend pre ordering it. It will be sold out really fast.
@Stetson apple said they would use E Sim by default for the 13 models to activate the phone instead of the traditional physical sim unless the customer specifically asks for it. Check the sim slot when you get the phone.
You cut the part where you actually insert the SIM. That's the part I'm trying to figure out.
From what I recall, I think I cut it out so it wouldn’t show sensitive SIM information
What do you do with the new SIM card in the new phone
I just transferred the sim over. I didn’t need a new SIM card
Who puts their gf on contacts as "my girlfriend"? And ah yes "I'm calling you from my new iPhone 12 pro max" because she definitely needs to know from what phone you're calling her from...
Lol
I have a question if I get the iPhone 12 Pro Max do I press Verizon or no sim? Does it matter? Because I still want my SIM card from my iPhone 6s. (I’m with Verizon btw)
I don't have a specific answer for you. But I always get unlocked iphone so I'm not beholden to a service once it starts charging me higher fees.
@@realjackeal also if I get no sim does it mean I can just switch out my iPhone 6s SIM card to the new phone? Because my SIM card doesn’t say NANO it’s just a simple small one that is silver
@@iBxbu I think so! I think most smartphones these days have nano SIM cards
@@realjackeal oh ok thank your for telling me
@@iBxbu You are very welcome!
Bro we get it you got a iphone 12 pro max
😂
Awesome vid but I’m going to be upgrading my iPhone later today and i was wondering do i enter my new sim after or before my data transfer to my new iPhone??
You can ask the person helping you!
If I was to put my old SIM card into a new phone and then switch it back what would happen to my phone
The signal should just switch back and forth to whichever phone has the SIM card
This was the least helpful video I've ever witnessed on UA-cam. Delete it.
😅
Love how he just named his girlfriend’s contact “My Girlfriend” 😂
I didn’t want my girlfriend’s real name out there at that time 😂
Will old iPhone sim cards affect 5g on newer phones? I switched my sim card from my xs and put it in the 13pro hoping that it doesn’t affect 5g! Let me kneo
IDK? I think for the 5G the sim card also has to be updated? Best to just go with esim and not have to worry.
will this work from iphone 7 to iphone 11?
yes!
Bro me and my mom and I switched our SIM card for the day, and her 5G is better than my 5G
same phones?
So what if there’s no cellular signal and the call doesn’t go through
You might need to turn your phone off and on again. Or update the signals that the phone can get. You can Google for the carrier’s specific way to update the signal.
This dude praising Apple for including a sim card ejector? 🤣
Lol I love Apple 😂
Okay good I just needed to make sure it wouldn’t break for some reason thank you
you're welcome! :)
Does dis work transferring iPhone sims card from metro to iPhone 12 Pro Max that was with T-Mobile I tried but it still says sos only even after I put the sim in
So far to my knowledge this only works transferring SIM cards from iPhones on the same carrier or unlocked iPhones
“My girlfriend” 😂
Lol why do people keep laughing at that 😂
i dont even get signal when i put my sim in
Did you turn your phone on and off?
@@realjackeal i got it
@duck00000 good!
You backed up and loaded new phone before you switched SIM card?
No I didn’t
I have a question, do you need to login with your apple id?
I don’t think I had to. The signal just updated itself!
Thanks I had questions about the SIM card slot and now I know my iPhone will have a supported SIM card slot.
You are welcome!
Thank you!
Does it transfer apps and other important stuff?
I chose to set up everything fresh to start with a blank slate. You can see about transferring everything. The new iphone should ask to scan the floating info cloud on the screen of the old iPhone, assuming your old iPhone does that
no hate but thst da iphone 8 it’s got a glass back
Lol nah. iPhone 7 and iPhone 12 Pro Max 😂
His girlfriend sounded AI (no offence)
😂 maybe she’s just that robotic while being recorded
Help!! How do you get a memory chip for ur SIM card bc i don’t have one to put in my new phobe
you don't get the memory chip, it's not android lol...you transfer the info over via icloud
do you think this new phone makes my voice sound deeper? .... no ... oh okay
😂
ay can i do it if one is t mobile and other is unlocked
The new one is unlocked? Should be able to?
THANK YOU, YOU SAVED MY FUCKING LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
lol you're welcome!
Will it work from iphone 7 to iphone 13?
It should
Do u have to have both phones from the same place for the sim card to work? Because I was going to buy a phone that's with smart talk but my old iPhone is with Verizon
I recommend you buy an unlocked iPhone so you can go to any carrier!
How do I do my iPhone 7 transfer to my other iPhone 7 will that work
Yes
Dose it matter if they have different company’s like I have metro and boost?
Idk did you ever find out?
i think thats an iphone 12 pro max 🤔
lol yes it's a 12 pro max
Will it still work in 5g with the old sim card?
That’s what I did yeah. It was the old SIM card and when it went to the iPhone 12 Pro Max it was able to use the 5G portion automatically
My girlfriend
😂
@@realjackealwhy don't you name her like “{name} ❤️”? 😂
Edit: Put wrong emoji!
hey man im sorry but im going to be honest. If you want your youtube to grow and make good money I do not think focusing on ONE COMPANY, ONE BRAND, and just apple is going to work. Yes people love apple but people also love androids. windows, linx, and etc. you get the point. Make how to and tests for all electronics. Make the youtube called, "Everyday Equipment living" or everyday gadget living or something. open your horizons and expand you have a lot of potential. just dont forget to thank me when youve got 100k subs
🥹👏👏
helpful, I had no idea, thank you !
Glad it helped! ❤️😍
just like a asian heyy sweetie🤦🏼
😂
your on fricking wifi man lol
😅
His girlfriend was definitely just his mother
lol i was thinking the same sh!t
I swear it was my girlfriend 😂
so I'm planning on buying an iPhone xr on Amazon from tmobile, I also have a tmobile phone, one I get it all I have to do is switch the sim??
Should be yeah!
No need to scan anything?! Great, I don't have to go to Hasan or Mustafa to do it!!
Glad it helped!
So I found a phone in the river by my house. Can I put my sim from my iPhone 11 into this newer iPhone and it will work?
Assuming the phone isn't broken from being in the water for a long time?
I’m going to switch my SIM card (8) with my 6s . Just for like a couple minutes and switch it back will this change the phone number on my 8? :(
Idk!
When he got on the call I died
😂
Did you have to set up your Apple ID again after transferring SIM cards ?
I think yes! But the signal for calls starts being able to use right away.
I put my SIM card in and I couldn't make a call... now what?
Did you restart your phone?
Same scenario but if I want to get a new sim card. Would i have to turn off imessage and facetime off on the old iphone? Or can i just activate the new sim card on the new phone since it will be the same number?
The latter!
Does all my UA-cam accounts transfer even with 2 step verification
I don’t think so but I could be wrong. To my knowledge only the phone number transfers. As for all the logged in accounts, I think you have to log into them all again. Or see about transferring every app and settings into the new iPhone
This guy acts like getting a sim eject to is super rare and only iPhone give it to you lmao sorry buddy but every company gives you one
😂
Mine didn’t work
Did it work now?
I have an iPhone 6 (not S) and just about to pick up a used iPhone 11. Can I just switch out the Sim card the same way? I did find the Sim card in my 6 and actually even pushed the little drawer open (I simply used a paperclip). Thanks!
Yeah should work the same way! Just keep in mind the iOS is only updated for 7 years. So you only have a few years left with the iPhone 11 until no more iOS updates!
@@realjackeal well, the iPhone 11 I almost purchased only had 64 GB, and due to the intensive video recording I do, I really need 128 minimum, so I'm still stuck with my iPhone 6 (antique :-) in any event, I just heard from a friend that the newer operating system won't work on phones that are prior to XS (D'oh!) So even the iPhone 8 that I almost purchased would probably not work with my bank app In a couple years. Now I'll just have to win the lottery and get the latest iPhone :-)
Best of luck to you!
@@realjackeal thanks! Unfortunately, it was only 64 GB and I need 128 minimum, so I passed on the purchase. Now I'm back to my iPhone 6…
@ContentWizard 🥹 ok! Tbh with you I maxed out on my 256 gb iPhone and will most likely be upgrading to 512 and 1 terabyte models in the future 😂
Thanks for sharing
“Yeah man” 😹
😂
Bruh
bruh
I question I got iPhone 8 Plus and if I get iPhone XR I can keep SIM card
Should be yes!
Why did he change is voice that fast
🤔
Who saves their girls named under “my girlfriend “ WTH 😂😂
Lol that was mainly for the video 😂
That was your sister you called
Lol nah...
Nah bro flexing he has a girl 💀
😂
Woohoo thank you
You’re welcome! 😆
