Question, has anyone switched sim cards on a temporary basis? We are heading to Columbus and my son has a phone with a US plan. My wife and I have no US plan. My son is on a different carrier. I was wondering what are the ramifications of swapping sim cards between my wife's phone and son's phone? I know their numbers will switch around. Both are iPhone SEs, My son is 2021 version, my wife is 2022 version. How bad will it screw up the phones operations? Anybody done this before? Tips?

Depends if the phone is locked. If the SIM belongs to the same carrier it shouldn’t do much. Different carrier, it’ll become an iPod touch since the phone won’t work.
