Maybe. We can't be more specific because the details really do matter.

If your current plan and the new phone are both with the same company, there normally won't be a problem. I did this when I lost my phone; after I got the new one, I called the company and had them transfer my old number to the new phone. (If I had still had the old phone, but it had gotten broken somehow, I could probably have simply taken the old SIM card, put it in the new phone, and it would have "just worked.")

However, if they're with different companies, there could be issues with the phones being locked to a specific carrier.
