Whether you need to transfer the SIM depends on your carrier, and on how the iPhone was ordered.


A number of carriers wil; transfer the cellular plan wirelessly and without swapping; entirely on the carrier‘s servers.


The SIM itself is unrelated to the contents of the phone, other than the subscriber identity stored in the SIM.
