iMore

I was going to post this in the AT&T forum, but since there have been no posts there for 1-month, I figured here... especially since in 5 hours we go live to buy.

My case is..

My wife wants my iPhone 6, she currently has a 5s.
I will buy a new iPhone 7.

I can't remember if this works, this easily, been 2-3 years since upgrading.

If I use her phone # to upgrade.. can she just put the sim that comes with the 7 into my 6 and then restore from backup. (or iCloud)
I move my sim from my iPhone 6 to my 7 and just restore from backup (or iCloud)

I am trying to order under her # (both are #s are up for an upgrade) as I don't remember if she can put the 5S sim into the 6. She is out of town until Tuesday so I can't test.

Anyone able to clarify?

Thanks
