Nice phonecfor basic life admin and more
I love this phone. I'd had my old Huawei for around 7 or 8 years and my apps stopped working on it.... I decided to purchase the A16 as I only do basic life admin on my phone. It's brilliant. It was easy to transfer over to and take my photos files and most apps. The screen resolution is so much better than my last phone. It charges quickly and it's easy to use. I've put a silicon case on it because I'm unsure how tough it will be and I'm hoping it will last as long as my Huawei did. The camera is good too. I've also purchased a galaxy watch8 to pair with it. That's good too.

Thanks for your question, Adam. You certainly can. You can use any Nano SIM card from any network provider while keeping the number associated with your SIM card. If you’d like to change your SIM card while keeping the same number, you’ll need to request a replacement SIM from your network provider. We hope this helps.

We appreciate your interest in the Galaxy A16.
If your current SIM can be separated into a Nano-SIM, it should work with the Galaxy A16. If not, you'll need to request a replacement Nano-SIM from your network provider.
