You can only swap sim cards if the iPhone is unlocked. i.e it can take sim cards from any carrier.


Regardless of whether its locked or unlocked, it should not reset to the Hello screen (if that's what you mean) when you insert a different sim card.


If the iPhone is not unlocked an you insert a sim card from a different carrier to the one that it is locked to , you should only get an error saying "Sim not Supported"
