Can I use my SIM card on new iPhone?
Kyunghwa
Newbie

Hello,

I use pre-paid Verison phone; Galaxy J3. Yesterday, I bought a new sim-free version of iPhone 8 at Apple store.

Can I put my Sim card on iPhone 8? If it is possible, can I still use my phone number without any registeration? 

Or do I have to change my device information on the website? 

Please let me know what I have to do.

Thanks

You're more than welcome, Kyunghwa. The iPhone 8 is definitely a nice phone. I have great news, you can use it on prepay service. The iPhone uses the same type of SIM card as the Samsung J3 so can activate your iPhone simply by moving your SIM card to your iPhone. Please follow these steps to remove the SIM from the J3: http://vz.to/2wFPKlz . Then with the iPhone powered off you can move your SIM card to your new device: http://vz.to/2xs1dJZ . Please be sure WiFi is turned off in your iPhone when powering on to allow your device to activate over the cellular network. If you require any assistance our prepay team can be reached directly at 888-294-6804.

Kyunghwa, thank you so much for reaching out to us today. Congratulations on the new iPhone 8 that you purchased. Those are great devices. I want to make sure that we're on the same page. Are you looking to use the iPhone 8 with your prepaid services? Are you looking to activate it to replace the Galaxy J3? Please keep me posted.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I want to replace my device from Galaxy J3 to iPhone 8 and also use the iPhone 8 with my prepaid services. Is it possible to activate it by myself? or have to go to Verison store?
