2:00 Reset is not the same as Restart. Restarting is just powering off and powering on again. Resetting means data loss and going back to an earlier point in time, such as a factory reset.

This video should be re-titled "What do before switching sim cards to a new phone.". Simply placing a sim card into a phone doesn't make it usable for calls and text. It must be identified by the cellular service, give them the equipment id and be talking with them on another phone to get this done. I was hoping this video was about that process. You bring up some good points for prep, but that's it.

1:53 I think you should make it clear that you mean 'restart' the phone not reset (which implies something completely different to the uninformed)

Totally agree with comments by 'basvssc'. Too many videos on how to transfer data from your old phone to your new phone but none (that I have viewed) explain when, and why, you should transfer your SIM card. Great work Brett, thanks.

I spent much of last week trying to answer the question you answered here. Most video are ok with showing cloning but not one that I have seen tells you when to swap the SIM card! THANKS! Yours was the most helpful video in the lot.

I am no tech geek as I still have trouble trying to figure out how to turn my phone on. Ty so much for this video. It's a must -see for those of us who are phone illiterate. =)

[nitzaramirez]

Thank you so much it helped a lot..easy simple..I forgot all about this little card

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 🙏 👍
I can not tell you how many videos show transferring data, but never mention this important step of “when” to remove SIM CARD. Really appreciate you, now you have another subscriber 👍

Thanks man, your awesome! Just ordered myself a galaxy s8 plus so this tutorial will come in handy!!!

[trbrolltide]

You answered my question. All other videos discuss the transfer. I needed to know at what point to switch sim card to new phone. Great information! Thank you.

[Dan-ojiq]

It would have been helpful to use the word "restart" after the sim transfer instead of "reset".

[loubecker]

Can you download apps and run everything in either phone that has the sim card? Can you put the sim card in a tablet?

[fisterdesign]

exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you. was not sure when to switch the sim card.

[crossxfuse]

if there's a problem with the new phone is it possible to take the sim card out and put it back in the old phone and use it normally?

[poochplace]

Awesome, this is sooo helpful. Didn't know where the SIM card was. Thanks!

So I wanna get a new phone. So if I take the SIM card out of my current phone and put it into the new one I have service? I can text and call people? I don’t want to buy a new expensive phone if I don’t know if it works.

[TheHipisterDeer]

So when you buy a new "unlocked" phone that can accept pretty much every carrer, it should accept the stim card right? Otherwise I assume it's not a region free phone and you got ripped off right? Well wish me luck hopefully this new phone I bought will have no problems.

Ok, so I'm not the most tech-savvy of seniors, but I get by. I use low-cost phones because it's what I can afford, and they work fine for my needs. I liked your video because you didn't talk 500 miles per minute. I just bought a new LG 4+, an upgrade from the Aristo. Toward the end of your video, you kind of lost me about switching out the sim card. I usually let my carrier do it, but the last time I did last, I lost half of my contacts. How can I make sure I don't lose any of my current info? I do have a new sim card, but can't I just use my old one from the other LG?

The craziest part about this is that I'm 90% sure these are the exact two phones I'm transferring between right now
