I have an android and I just bought an iPhone and I don't want to transfer a virus by using the same SIM card. Can I transfer a virus from one to the other. Please help

Re: can I transfer a virus by putting a SIM card from my android to a new iPhone

I haven't heard of any SIM card viruses, but I've heard "Don;t plug your charger into your phone unless you know where it's been" - meaning that some day, someone is going to come out with a way of sending viruses over the power lines, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone came out with a SIM card virus (or a case virus, even).

But for now, you're safe.
