Existing SIM will work in any unlocked phone as long as it can 'fit' into SIM slot.

If you currently have nano SIM and new phone will take nano that is simple switch. Otherwise let us know what size SIM do you currently have and what new phone will take and guys will advise (as they already did) how to use existing SIM in new phone.

I have SIM adapters (nano noosy) if any one needs.  PM me. 

 

You should be able to use old SIM and save the new SIM for an emergency replacement or for a referral. 

@Kered13 

If you ordered a "new" phone from pm it will come with a new sim card. Save the sim card for a friend or if you ever need to replace your current one. But if needed you could use the housing from the new sim card to make it larger if need be....unlikely but it's there if you need it.

@Kered13 

 is too easy take out the adapter off your old SIM card and use on your new phone...

Yes you can.

 

Just make sure the appropriate adapter is being used (or not), depending on the SIM tray size of the new device.

@Kered13   this is the removable housing @dabr  meant

even you need a new one, it's around $5.99 to $10 from different stores .. just do no order from PM online as it might take long for delivery .  If you really need a new SIM, you need to follow this to request SIM change:

@Kered13   Yes same SIM can be used plus some of the housing can be removed/added back to fit the new phone.
