Changing sim for Iphone 7

I have an unlocked iphone 7, but I do not have any more icloud storage and my phone hasn't been backed up in months. I am planning on buying a macbook so I know that I will have more icloud storage. However, I plan to get a new SIM card before I buy the macbook. Since my icloud has not been backed up, when I change sim cards, will all the data that isn't backed up on my icloud be deleted? Or does sim card have no effect on my icloud account?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.3.3

The Sim card has no relation to iCloud at all.


The sim card merely holds your phone's cellular number, and your carrier's settings, so the iPhone can connect to it.


Changing the sim card will not affect any data on your iPhone or iCloud at all.
