Question

I purchased the new pixel 11 phone in place of my current pixel 9.  I cannot swap the current SIM into the pixel 11.  It tells me that the SIM cannot transfer.

 

The pixel 11 is unlocked onto any network.

 

What can I do?

    Hi ​@stevie_4477

     

    Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty transferring your current SIM to your new Pixel 11. I understand how frustrating this must be, especially as you've confirmed that the handset is unlocked.

     

    As a first step, we'd recommend testing your current iD Mobile SIM in another compatible, unlocked handset.

    • If the SIM works normally in another handset, this suggests the issue may be related to the Pixel 11 
    • If the SIM doesn't work in another unlocked handset either, this may indicate an issue with the SIM itself.

    Once you've completed the test, please let us know the outcome and we'll be happy to advise you on the next steps.
