New phone

Hey, so I just ordered an iPhone 6 Plus, and I will Be switching to that from an iPhone 5. What is the process to switch over my SIM card? Just put it in and it will work? Or is there more to it. Thanks

Take out the sim from old phone, put it into the new phone, and set up your Apn, if your data doesn't work.

You can also follow Apple's support page to transfer your data:

The iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 Plus both use a Nano-SIM card. Therefore, you can just remove your current sim from the iPhone 5 and insert it into the iPhone 6 Plus without an issue. Once you switch it, everything should work fine.

@LJ35 don't forget to unregister from iMessage before switching or iPhone friends may not be able to contact you.

You may want to follow a guide such as these from 2 of my favourite Android sites:

EDIT: the second one (the article on Android Central) talks about the iMessage thing I mentioned. I'd recommend you read through both though!
