Upgrading phone steps

[callmeire]

Hello,

I am in need of upgrading to new phone. My phone is so old that the SIM card won't fit whichever new phone I will be getting so I will need to change both the phone and SIM card. I've read the instruction regarding swapping SIM card online and it sounds simple enough but I was hoping someone could confirm I understood the steps correctly since this is first time I am changing phone myself.

So I would be doing:

1. Get new phone and new SIM card

2. Change the old SIM card with the new SIM card online

3. Insert the new SIM card to the new phone

4. Finish the rest of setting up / activating the new phone

Is there any missed step or something I need to watch out for (i.e. will there be any surprise I didn't expect)?

Appreciate your help in advance. Thank you.
