hi, im getting my daughters iphones for Christmas, they are both currently on smarty plans (one apple the other android). Do i need to order 2 new sims for the new phones or can they simply take the ones out their old phones and put them in the new ones. Do i also need a PAC code for them. tia

You can just use the existing SIMs, and no need for a PAC, that's only used when changing networks.

The iPhones take a nano SIM. In the event that either of the existing SIMs is too big, just push the centre of it out to make it a nano SIM.

@AbiRae_912645  The iPhones all use the same size nano sim, so simply take out of the old one and put into the new one.

If the android phone is not too old, it probably also uses a nano sim and again you can simply transfer it across.

You just need to use the supplied paper-clip shaped piece of metal to open the iPhone tray.

Exactly as @SmartyTrousers  says, no PAC needed and service should continue seamlessly.

For the android to iPhone hangover, I do believe that the setup process will take that change into account - Apple seem to think of everything.

Lucky daughters!!!!
