Getting a replacement nexus 5 from Google can I just swap out Sim card?

I'm on sprint and I got a Sim card for my first nexus device last week. I'm not getting a different device because of a dead pixel. Can I just take the Sim card out and put it in the new nexus and it will work or do I need to go to the sprint store and do something special ?

You may still need to activate it through Sprint, but you may be able to do that online in the Chat session.

Oh cool. I'll for sure try the chat before going over to the store. Thank you .

I am pretty sure I have done that before. At worst, you spent several minutes to find out it can't be done. Let us know how it works out.
