Switch phone numbers between 2 different sized SIM Cards?

I have an HTC One and my dad has an iPhone 5. I want to switch phones with him but the iPhone 5 has a nano sim and the HTC One has a micro sim. Is their a way i can just switch phone numbers on the sim card? for example I have my phone number on my can I transfer it to my dads? and vise versa.

Contact your carrier to have them give you appropriate sized sim cards with the correwct numbers and services.
Alternatively, you can cut the larger sim card down to the correct size, and place the smaller sim card in an adapter to make it larger.
Sim Card Adapters
But contacting your carrier would be the better option.

There is nothing saved on the SIm card in an iphone. If you have a backup of the old phone restore that to the new phone

Can I switch phone numbers between two iPhones?

I have ordered a 3GS, replacing my wife's 2G model. She will now get my 3G model. Do we have to change phone numbers or is there a way to move my 3G number with the 3GS and vice versa. It would be much better if that was possible.

I also wish to switch phone numbers between phones. I just got off the phone with AT&T customer support. You can handle this over the phone. Need to have the two phones in hand at the time. I got through to customer support today with less than one minute on hold. I was quite surprised. AT&T must have really staffed up for the release.

Can I switch phone numbers between 2 different phones?

Currently my husband wants my Motorola Droid Razor since he can't stand his iPhone anymore. I was wondering if I could transfer my phone to his iPhone and move his phone number to my Razor. Does it cost anything?

You can do this, and there is no charge to swap devices. Since both lines are active, you should go to a store and have the rep there do the swap. Keep in mind that the iPhone has a different voicemail system so neither one of you will have access to any existing voicemail messages on your current number once the swap is complete.

Any way to switch phone numbers between phone lines....

I have 2 phones under my name, 1 of which has the unlimited data plan, which I currently have suspended because I don't use. I would like to upgrade my other phone because the phone I have is giving me problems, but I do not want to pay ridiculous fees and such for the data plan. Is there any way to transfer the phone number from the phone I use to the other phone, so that I may have the unlimited plan, and also cancel the unused phone? Thanks.

There a couple of different issues you'll want to consider here:
1) If you use the upgrade from the line you want to cancel, you will start a new contract on that line and owe a $175 ETF if you purchase a basic phone or a $350 ETF if you purchase a smartphone. The contract is tied to the specific line (and phone
number), so you can't move it around. If you upgrade a line, you must keep it for 24 months or pay an Early Termination Fee.
2) Your unlimited data package is tied to the line and phone number that is currently on. That means that if you want to use the unlimited package, you'll have to activate your new phone on that line and number. You won't be able to get the unlimited data on the other number on your plan.

Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account?

Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account? Should I activate it via WiFi or iTunes? I am filtering on the MAC no and I cannot read that number from the new iPhone without having it activated??!!
All I want do is to have the new phone activated and then tested!

Yes, you can do that.

My i phone 3gs cannot read my sim card

You need to unlock iPhone by the carrier first to read a different SIM.

I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?

My wife wants to use my daughter's 4s phone instead of her CDMA iphone 4 with no SIM. Does verizon need to do the switch since I can't just switch SIM cards and restore from backup?

Unless the 4S was sold for Verizon, the CDMA module is disabled. Regardless, Verizon will not activate devices on their network that were not specifically sold for their network.

Dear sir
I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
Please tell me whats the matter?
My phone serial no 86034HTCA4T
Modem firmware 04.12.09
Thanks

Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
iPhone unuseable.

I damaged my iPhone 4. I have ordered a new 4s. I never backed up or synced my contacts onto my sim card. Do you have to do that manually or will my contacts be on my phone when I put my sim card in the new iPhone 4s?

The iPhone under normal circumstances does not store contacts on the SIM Card. It can read them, but again under normal circumstances does not write them to the SIM Card.
When you sync your new iPhone to iTunes on your usual computer you can restore from a Back-Up of your old iPhone to get Contacts and other data and files installed on your new iPhone.

If I buy an I Pad 2 AT&T version 3G and I want to use it outside of USA using a different carrier SIM card is it going to work internationally.

Yes
Provide you can buy pre-payed GSM micr-sim cards in the domain to which you are travelling.
IF you can't then your either going to pay ATT huge amounts for international roaming or will have to find a free/low cost or public open WiFi hotspot.

Can I use two SIM cards with one iPhone5s? ie, switch phone numbers and plan, same carrier?

I live where there is no Cell service in remote BC Canada. Fortunately, we have highspeed Internet! Thus, I have been using an iPod Touch 4th gen & Skype to make all my calls for a 2 or 3 years. I travel a couple of times a month into cell coverage. I plan to use my iPhone 5s on a iPad Data Package when in cell coverage. I called and asked bell if I could do so if I bought an unlocked iPhone. I was told yes, but recieving calls would be very expensive. I have email notification and a phone number where voice mails are emailed to me, so am able to do without recieving calls in most cases. However, certain situations lead to frustrating telephone tag.
Just today, after receiving my unlocked iPhone 5s I realised that Bell also has a pay as you use plan that is very reasonably priced for cell calls only. If I was able to switch SIM cards I could get both plans. Thus if recieving a call or placing one was important I could just switch my SIM card. Could that be done reasonably and practically?
I would appreciate an answer to this question!
Scott

Let me see if i got this straight. You have two iDevices. One is an iPad, which uses 3G Data. The other one is an iPhone 5s. You plan on purchasing two plans, One thats has only 3G Data, and the other one that has only phone calls, and messages.The answer to your question is Yes. At least i done that with t-mobile USA. If your iPad is compatible with nano-sim cards, yes you can. If not, you will have to buy an iPad with nano-sim such as the iPad mini 3G. This is totaly possible.

Swap phone numbers between two different accounts.

I currently have two phone plans and two phones. One is on my mother's account and the other is a new phone I just started on my Fiance's account. They are completely separate from each other. My mother has a plan she own's and my fiance has a plan she owns.
My question is; is it possible to swap numbers between the 2 phones? I want the number from my old phone that is on my mother's plan to be on my new phone that I just got. My mother plans on letting the other phone run out of contract and cancelling the line. I know I can swap the sim cards, but that would put my new phone on the wrong plan.

Why didn't you perform an Assumption of Liability (AOL) to transfer your original line from your mother's account to your fiancé's account?

Switch phone numbers with a family member on a different plan

Hello!
I have a Verizon cell phone plan and my mother has a separate plan. A few years ago my mother got a phone that she absolutely hated so I agreed to take her phone and she took mine. What ended up happening is that she has a phone that I technically pay for each month under my plan and I have a phone that she pays for under her plan. We are both at the end of our contracts now but I want to switch the phone numbers to the proper plans so we pay for our own phones. This is especially important since she wants to cancel her account and go to a different carrier but I want to stay with Verizon.
How do I go about doing this? If she cancels her plan is there a way I can keep the number but bring it to my account and how will this affect my upgrade? I think my mother would also like to bring her current number (the phone under my account) to her new carrier.
Thank you very much for any help you can give me!

Hi irishpat87,
Let's explore options to complete the number swap! As indicated by others (thanks!), doing an Assumption of Liability is a way to accomplish what you want to do and since you are at the end of your contracts (as per your original post), contract length carries over as is. I trust that this will answer your questions fully. Please visit this link http://vz.to/187wQRK for details on the Assumption of Liability process.
