When you lose your phone and want to set up a new phone with a new SIM card while accessing your old Google account, you generally should not face major problems if you follow the steps properly. However, here are some points to consider:
-
Google Account Access: You can access your Google account on your new phone with your old email address. You will need to enter your Google account credentials (email and password). If you enable two-step verification, you may need access to your old phone or alternative recovery options.
-
Verification: Google may require you to verify your identity. If you have set up recovery options (like a backup email or phone number), make sure you can access those. If you cannot access those recovery options, you may face difficulties in recovering your account.
-
App and Data Transfer: If you had apps or data linked to your old phone, you might need to log in to those apps again using your Google account. Some data may not transfer automatically, depending on how you set up your new device.
-
SIM Card: The new SIM card will not affect your ability to access your Google account, as access is tied to the email and password, not the phone number or SIM card.
-
Old Data Access: If you want to recover information stored only on your lost phone (e.g., messages, contacts not synced to Google), you may not be able to do that unless you had previously backed that data up.
In summary, as long as you have access to your Google account credentials and any necessary recovery options, you should be able to set up your new phone and use it without significant issues.
