@jimidee , this should not be a problem. Make sure the phone is unlocked and compatible with the network.

The iPhone have you been using it on Public Mobile? It's as simple as taking the sim out of the iPhone and putting it in your new phone.

If you are a new client. You have to activate the sim card. But ensure android is compatible with PM network.

What's the android and is it unlocked? Ensure its bands /frequency work on public mobile.

Link below to check if phone is compatible. If it's not on list , write here so we can check as not all phones are on that list.

Easy enough. Just move new sim to Android phone if it's compatible. Check first. Most new phones likely are.
