am I able to switch one sim card back and forth between two phones (ensuring sim card fits)?

Id like to be able to switch my sim between two phones frequently (ensuring compatible sim size) and wondered ...

1) can I switch the same sim card between two phones back and forth on a regular basis (one android, one apple)?

2) How easy should it be - do I just move the sim card, or do I have to go through some process?

Many thanks in advance for any thoughts or guidance

    1) In theory, yes.  If they're both unlocked network wise or on the appropriate network.
    2) Just do it. You may get a "we need to update your settings" type text every time but no major major.

    The other thing to bear in mind that the SIM card socket is not designed for frequent connection/disconnection.  You may find after a few times the connection becomes unreliable.

    If you really need to do this regularly, then I'd invest in a phone which takes dual SIM's.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
