Hi.

I am currently on Vodafone using a sim-free iPhone 5s and just wondered if I put an EE sim in it for a few days while on holiday will it damage the Vodafone network and settings.

I have got a contract with Vodafone so don't want to break it but where I'm going the 3G signal is non existent but EE offer 4G which is a lot better.

Thanks

No, I sim swap on a regular basis, no problem at all.

When I used to do that I think I had to delete the "Vodafone Contract Network Profile" on an iPhone 5 to get Internet to work with other SIMs - it was quite easy to reinstate when the Vodafone SIM was re-inserted.

You have not seen this issue?????

No, but then I haven't used a contract Voda sim, that's not something I deem rational.

I have used contract sims on Orange, T-Mobile, EE and Three, and PAYG sims on Voda and O2 (and a number of assorted MVNO sims).

Strange! I had a Vodafone contract until February and - each time their SIM got taken out and put back - I got a text message about where to download their Network Profile from. It seemed to setup all the APNs etc.
