I would like to switch phones from a Moto G to an iPhone 6s. What is the process of moving my account to an entirely new phone that's also a different brand? I also know that the SIM card I have now is too big for my new phone so can public mobile sent me a new one attached to my account? Please help!

As mentioned above, you can simply punch out the nano sim if it's a triple punch SIM card, there would be no need to get a new sim or switch SIM cards.
If its not the triple punch sim, you can simply cut it out by matching the size with another nano SIM card, it's very simple to do plus there are tons of YouTube how to videos on it. In worst case if you cut it wrong, you can always get another sim from Walmart, you got nothing to lose. Cutting SIM card wrong won't affect your account. If it works you will end up saving $10.
About transferring from android to iPhone, just synchronize all your contacts into your gmail account first. Then when you login to your iPhone, use the same gmail account to synch into iPhone.
Good luck.

@mimmo yea thanks for the clear up, I just wanted to be safe and not give the wrong steps, causing the person to lose his amazing plan that we are on. But yea like you said if its easy switch then go ahead, no need to get the mod involve as it takes a day or two to get a respond

Most sim cards were tripple punch, ie they were 3 in one. if yours is not then just go to walmart buy a sim. then loginto self serve and click plan and addons and the select change sim number. no need to get a mod invoved.
as for the other part of your question i am not sure teh porcess of switching from android to apple. i am sure there is an app for that. I am sure an apple fan can give you soem guidance.

@phonehelp101 So your probably can do two things, cut your sim card as it is too big as you explained (very risky) or order a new sim card and transfer your info. How you order a new sim card is through your account, I highlighted and bolded this point is because if you ordered through somewhere else you could lose your plan as it is grandfathered. So when you buy your new sim from Wal-Mart make sure you private message the mod and tell them you got a new phone and the sim card needs the nano-sim please help me switch my old sim card info into my new sim card (something like that) leave your NEW sim card number, also your phone number, email address of the account. If your ordering online, in your account there is a tab furthurest to your right called "addon" click on that and below will bring up more tabs which allow you to "change sim card" and click that option and go through the purchase option and then set it up through a mod for a safe bet. Congrats on becoming team apple (lol) you will defintately enjoy the speed, simplicity and quality and good luck!

As mentioned above, you simply need to move the sime card to your new phone. Since its bigger for your iphone, you should be able to punch out the sim card to the needed size.
