upgrade phone question
will keep this as brief as possible...
want to change a phone that is currently under an AT&T family plan. it is an old, OLD Apple iPhone 4s AT&T (MC918LL/A)
is it as simple as just moving my SIM card from old to new one?
where to go to get an unlocked phone that is COMPLETELY compatible to ALL AT&T phone service plans, etc.
i've read where some problems that can occur...
"The lack of native MMS is a common complaint. "
"...instead of full 4G services I only get 3G at best; my main complaint is that multimedia messages won't send and receive unless you use another Messanger service such as Facebook Messanger. "
all i want is basically, a phone that functions 100% after SIM card is installed. like changing a light bulb.
thanx in advance.

1. No your old sim is a 3g, micro sim. Almost all new phones use a nano sim.
2. The only unlocked entirely compatible phones are iPhones 6 and newer. Google Pixel 3 is very close, even gets WiFi calling on postpaid. To get an iPhone that is unlocked it must be a Verizon phone or Sim free model purchased from Apple. Other retail iPhones are subject to US Flex activation policy.
