Why do 4G SIMs work on 5G networks? The simple answer is that most 5G networks are non-standalone (NSA). This means they use existing LTE technology to deploy 5G service. As such, your existing 4G SIM cards will work on non-standalone 5G networks. This is the general rule. But there are exceptions. The exception happens where a carrier or operator deploys a standalone (SA) 5G network. Such networks are built on newer 5G technology from scratch, and so will require that you replace your existing SIM card with a compatible 5G SIM....

What is integrated SIM technology? It is perhaps best explained in comparison to eSIM. With eSIM, the chip is built into the phone for SIM functionality and occupies some space, though it is a small space. With iSIM, the SIM card functionality is built into the primary processor of the phone, and so freeing up more space inside the phone for other uses. Like eSIM, integrated SIM technology works without the need for the consumer to buy and swap SIM cards....
