  1. Remove the SIM card from the phone that it is in—>Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  2. Insert the SIM card into the new phone.
  3. Restart the new phone—>Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Complication: If the SIM card from the old phone does not fit in the new phone contact the carrier to get a SIM card of the right size.
