Can I use a PAYG SIM in any unlocked phone?
My wife's phone is Android 4.4.2 and wont handle apps like WhatsApp. The
SIM is O2 PAYG
I want either to use her SIM in my unlocked Android V11 (and get a new
one)
I am on a SIM only contract having paid for my phone.
OR
Get her a new unlocked android and transfer the SIM.
The SIM size looks OK between hers and mine.

Ask them. Keepgo ($30/3GB/1year) SIM people were happy to tell me which phones would work and which wouldn't.

The UK doesn't have cellphone whitelisting as Verizon/etc do, so any PAYG
SIM should work in any unlocked UK phone. Different phones have different >support for 4G/5G bands so the coverage may be slightly different, but
UK networks only use a few of the bands each and so a UK phone is likely to >support the main ones in use.

By definition if it's unlocked then any SIM should work. You can just try
it and see. It won't affect the phone nor SIM.
