Putting iPad sim into iPhone

What would happen if I put the SIM card from my iPad (on T-Mobile) into an iPhone 7 Plus (unlocked; formerly on T-Mobile but not in use)?

I assume you would get the data from the mobile internet but, you wouldn't get voice services because the line isn't set up that way.

I do it every time T-Mobile Tuesday’s requires a confirmation code/text to log in. Works for me.

It will only work for a few hours before the system detects it and shuts it off.

Only if T-Mobile recognizes the IMEI. I used two data SIMs in two unlocked Sprint iPhones for years without a single problem.

Keep it simple, try a non T-Mobile registered phone or it will identify the device sooner or later as a phone and shut you out.
