swap a sim card into a different phone

my daughter's I-Phone XR screen is damaged. With the Apple stores temporarily shut down we need to get a phone working temporarily for her. Can i swap out the sim card from her phone into one of our old iPhones? What's the process if it's a yes?

If you don't have the SIM removal tool get a paper clip and bend it and insure it into the hole where the SIM tray is. Push in hard and it will pop open. Repeat the process with the old phone you are going to use. Be sure to put the SIM tray back in the XR.
