What happens if you reset your sim card?
Mar 28, 2024 · 1. Does performing a factory reset erase SIM card data? Answer: No, a factory reset does not affect SIM card data. It only restores the device’s settings to the original state and wipes the internal storage, but the SIM card retains its data. 2. Will my contacts and messages be deleted when I do a factory reset?
Aug 24, 2019 · Aug 24, 2019 7:57 PM in response to jhan23. No. Hardly anything is stored on the SIM card these days and there's no reason to wipe any of that. If you're really paranoid you should be able to remove it first.

Learn how to remove or transfer the SIM card in your iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models).
Find your model below to locate the SIM tray. To pop open the SIM tray, insert a paper clip or a SIM-eject tool into the hole beside the tray. Push in, toward the iPad, but don’t force it. If you're having difficulty ejecting the SIM tray, take your device to your carrier or an Apple Store for assistance.
After you remove your SIM card from the tray, notice the notch in one corner of the new SIM card. Place the new SIM card into the tray — it will fit only one way, because of the notch. Then insert the tray into the device completely and in the same orientation that you removed it. The tray also fits only one way.
Find the SIM tray on the right side, near the bottom:

•iPad Pro 11-inch (all models)
