changing sim card, need to backup phone

I’m changing my sim card to a different carrier and i was just wondering that if i did the icloud backup and then change my sim card, will i still have everything that i backed up when i sign into icloud?

If you restore the backup to it sure. Changing the sim will generally cause a reactivation but after that the phone should be the same. Backing it up is a great idea, so back it up, change your sim. If you're missing anything erase and restore the backup and you should have no problems.
