You don't have to turn off your phone to switch SIM cards (but you probably should)
A quick step removes the small chance of anything going wrong and requiring more of your time. If your phone has a SIM tray, it's not something you likely open often, but there are still reasons to.
AI Summary
Removing a SIM card without powering down the phone only carries a small risk of problems, but turning the device off eliminates that chance entirely. Users may open the SIM tray when switching to a mobile‑virtual network operator to cut costs, or when temporarily replacing their regular SIM with a cheaper local carrier while traveling. The article advises the quick power‑off step as a precaution before any such swap.
