Verizon nano SIM in iPhone 4S

[BBradac9]

Has anyone tried with success to put the Verizon iPhone 5 nano SIM, using an adaptor back in the iPhone 4S?

Was wondering if I could switch phones when traveling abroad or when out on the town, with less fear of losing an iPhone 4S.

Should be fine no problem

Can't get a straight answer from Verizon. Heard there is a problem with going from a 4G device (iphone 5) to 3G device (iphone 4s)? Just want to make sure I'm not going to trash my sim card by trying the 4S.

Wont work, the 3g cdma iphones need to be activated using *228 each time you need to activate. this will then deactivate your 4g sim, because the system will switch you back to a 3g phone. it'll force you to get a new sim card when you want to go back to the iphone 5.

the sim card in the 4s does not do the same thing it does in the 4g LTE phones (which allows you to switch phones just like gsm sim cards) its just an international roaming sim.

I am not very familiar with Verizon, but I just read here that you may not need a new sim card when switching back to the iPhone 5. You should be able to switch back and use your old sim card on the 5 after activating the 4S. The 4G sim cards used to expire after two weeks, but now you can resume using it for up to a year.
I have no personal experience doing that, but that us what I read.
