    You can swap phones on your plan pretty easily.

    Are sim cards not a think anymore?

      Not really.

      Most new phones use other identifiers. You might be able to buy very cheap prepaid phones or cards for them, but they’re going away from swappable sims.

      For most carriers, if you occasionally want to swap to a different device it’s just a matter of going to your account online and swapping it (for example, travel. It’s safer to use a clean device rather than your normal phone. Both for border crossings and everything else.)
