I had a hard card sim in an IPhone 7 and I bought a refurbished IPhone 14 to transfer to electronically. The transfer was successful but I soon found out the new phone was defective and had to wipe it clean of all data and sim to return it. Now I have no phone because I have no idea how to transfer back again to the iphone 7. I don’t want to lose my phone number in the process if i can even do it. I have another 14 on the way. Would it be easier or possible to wait and do it to the new one arriving? I find this incredibly confusing. Its as if it’s trial and error trying to make changes and getting everything messed up. Thanks folks.

Talk to your phone carrier.
