International Travel and SIM cards

When I put a new SIM card into my phone for international usage, will I still be able to access my Icloud files?


iPhone 6s, iOS 10

FWIW. If you travel abroad often, you may want to consider getting an iPhone which supports eSIMs. These would be iPhone XS or later phones.


The reason would be that you can have your (home country) default cellular carrier service on the eSIM, and then, get physical SIM cards for the countries you visit.

Typically, the cellular provider assists you with activating an eSIM. Of course, they also provide physical SIM cards. Both of your phones should support both types of SIMs. You can also contact Apple Support as well. To do so, simply select the "Support" link on the lower left-hand side of this forum's web page.
