  1. Yes, if you’ve listed the number in your accounts. It’s a mobile phone number like any other mobile number.

  2. Yes, if you have a phone that is authorized by the underlying carrier as being compatible with their network. If the new phone is not compatible with the network, then the SIM will not work in the new phone.

  3. The SIM is not more secure than other carriers’ SIMs, only more private, as Purism doesn’t provide your personal contact information or identity to the underlying network.

Note that Purism’s SIM service is not functioning at the moment. Read: SIMple/AweSIM down

Note also that VoLTE (Voice over LTE Data) is not enabled by default yet (at least in the North American variant of the modem), as Purism is still working out some issues. You can enable it manually, but it might be buggy at the moment.
