Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities, riley144.
We see that you've got some questions about when to transfer the SIM card between your devices. If the device already activated, you can swap it over after the data transfer. If you haven't set it up yet, or can't get it to activate, we'd recommend going ahead and swapping the SIM card to the new device. Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone will go over how to do that.
We hope this helps.
