Hi,

I'm buying a new 5G mobile. 

Will the sim in my 4G mobile phone work  ok or do I need a new sim card?

Thanks

    Hi ​@badboyboogie

     

    Thank you for getting in touch.

     

    Your current SIM from iD Mobile should work absolutely fine in a 5G phone, so you won’t usually need a replacement.

     

    📱 What to expect

    • iD Mobile SIM cards are 4G and 5G compatible
    • Simply insert your existing SIM into your new 5G handset
    • If you’re in a 5G coverage area and your plan supports it, your phone should connect to 5G automatically
