Is it possible to switch plans on prepaid? On unlocked iphone 5. Like from straight talk to tmobile prepaid? And how?( just change the SIM card)?
 
If unsubsidized phone u can do anything u want.

If subsidized then you can only do post-paid.
 
OP states that the device is unlocked. The subsidy and the lock are two different things. They're typically related but not the same.

Exactly, so I ignored the irrelevant information and gave him what matters.
 
The subsidy is irrelevant; I have a subsidised unlocked iPhone and I can still put a different prepaid SIM in there.

OP, that's all you need to do; swap SIMs.
