You should be able to if the phones are from the same network/phone company and based on the same technology. (Size for instance) Although you will need to add the serial number to the phone companies records so that the sim will co-operate with the towers and authenticate you. Once added, all you have to do is call in and let them know you are using the other phone and they will switch you in an instant. Then you call back to let them know you switched back. On the action of switching, call first if you are using the cell phone to make the change. You should not get disconnected from the network until the call is terminated. Then you switch the sims. Try to make a call. After you have successfully placed a call, you are now ready to receive a call. It may take a few minutes before you can make a call. It used to be that you could not receive a call until you place one. It may be different on your network.

∙ 12y agoYes you can. The contract relates to the phone number - not the handset. So long as the new handset is on the same network - or has been unlocked - you can simply put your existing SIM card in the new phone.

It is up to you. A contract means you can get the phone for free, and get a new one when the contract renews. Non contract is when you have to buy the phone up front and put a PAYG sim in it

A phone SIM card is built to an industrial standard, they will fit and work in any phone manufactured by any manufacturer - they all have and provide standard SIM card connectors. However, some Mobile Phone companies who "give" you a free phone as part of a contract deal with, them LOCK the phone to their service (in software in the phone), which means that that phone will only work with a SIM card provided to you by them.

Would it work if I put a contracted sim card into a pay as you go phone?
It will, but only if the pay as you go SIM card actually works in the phone. Most phones these days tend to get locked to the network they were provided with, and sometimes even locked to the particular SIM they were provided with. Obviously, even if it does work OK, the monthly SIM will still need to be cancelled if you don't wish to continue paying for it.
