I am moving from an iPhone with a Sim card to one with an eSIM. Should I just take out the old Sim card when I have erased the device?
iPhone XR
Is there any reason to keep the old sim in the old device? I'm sending it into apple as a trade in.
No, you can send that iPhone without the SIM card.
Yes, that old SIM card is linked to your phone number, which is known by your friends, acquaintances, companies, 'social media' etc. Also with Apple as your trusted phone number.
That telephone number is still registered in your name with your carrier.
You should decide what to do with that phone number.
Thanks for your advice.
The number was already transferred to my new device. Is there any reason to keep the old sim in the old device? I'm sending it into apple as a trade in.
Remove my sim?
