When logging into your Google account on a new phone with a new SIM card, there are a few factors to consider regarding your old SIM card and email:
1. **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**: If you have enabled 2FA on your Google account and your old SIM card was associated with your mobile number for verification, you may run into issues. Google might send a verification code to your old number, and if you don’t have access to that SIM card, you might not be able to complete the login process.
2. **Recovery Options**: If you set up recovery options using your old phone number or email, make sure you have a backup recovery email or another method (like security questions or a backup code) to regain access.
3. **Account Access**: If you can log in without needing a verification code, you should be able to access your account normally, as long as you remember your password.
4. **Updating Account Information**: Once you’ve logged in, it’s a good idea to update your account recovery information with your new phone number and ensure that you have current recovery options available.
To summarize, using a new phone with a new SIM card could pose a problem if two-factor authentication relies on your old number, but if that is not an issue, you should be able to log in to your Google account successfully. If you anticipate any issues, consider removing 2FA temporarily or updating your recovery options before switching devices.
