Hi Mark and All,
I don't know much about pay-as-you-go sims, but I can certainly
investigate. And, now that you mention it, I think you might be
right about a sim card eventually getting damaged. For, I have
an old deactivated sim card I keep around here to be used to
sometimes activate backup iphones used on Wi-Fi only; and, when I
tried to put it in a micro sim adapter, just to see since my
inexpensive Android phone takes a micro sim, it no longer fits
snugly in that adapter. I'm sure I would be most unhappy if my
only working sim card were to stop working say at eleven o'clock
on a Saturday night.

Hello Vicky,
The short answer to your question is most likely yes.
However, switching a SIM card between iMessage capable and
non-iMessage capable devices can get a little tricky.
I strongly suggest that you obtain a pay-as-you-go SIM card from
your wireless provider, to be used in your Android device.
Besides, it is not good to continually swap a SIM between devices
as the more often you do it, the more likely the chance of
damaging it.
Mark

Subject: texting when switching between iOS and Android phones
Although the iPhone is still my primary phone, now that I'm
retired from work and have the time, I'm playing with Android
just a bit. However, the first time I took my sim out of the
iPhone and put it into an Android one, when I put it back into
the iPhone several hours later I saw that I had missed several
iMessages from the iPhone users in my family. So, if I go into
settings and then into messages and turn iMessage off, will that
allow me to receive messages from other iPhone users while I have
my sim in the Android phone? I know about the send as sms
setting, but I kind of hate to ask others to go in and change
their phone settings because of what I'm doing.
