I have a newer samsung phone and I want to move my existing Public Mobile sim to this new phone and keep my existing phone number. How do I do that? My existing phone is a samsung phone.

 @hTideGnow : ?? More recent what? I was referring to answering your question about old SIM's. Pre 2015 were bought as a single size. And if you changed phones with a different size you had to make arrangements to either find a frame or scissor-cut the smaller out of the larger or buy another of the right size.

After that they became tri-punch.

Depending on which model of Samsung phone you have but most newer ones are nano SIM size so take the SIM from your old phone and place in new phone if the size is the same. If not, you need to add or remove a spacer to fit the SIM tray.

HI @Crouch   As said above, pretty much just "Plug and Play" with the SIM

 

If you find your current SIM too make, see if it is pre-cut and you can take it off to transform in to nano:

Curious, are all PM SIM are tre-cut? even from the old days?  anyone see an PM SIM that are just one size ? cannot

Nothing special to do and nothing to do with your PM account. Everything is 'plug and play'.

Turn off old phone; make sure new phone is off too.

Remove SIM from old phone

Plug in SIM into new phone

Turn on new phone. Confirm everything works as expected: SMS/call/Internet.

Enjoy new phone.

Just move the SIM over. Size matters. Going down is easy. Going up needs the original frame parts. But they may very well be the same size.

@Crouch   You don't need to do much.  All the account info is on the SIM card.  So, all you need to do is to pull the SIM from your old phone and move it to your new phone.
