If your provider can do that, then yes, that would be ideal. There is an easy recovery process if you still have your phone number. I was in Mexico at the time the phone was stolen. I didn't think to ask if I could move my number to a new card, but I really doubt I could because they don't ask your name or ID when getting a SIM so your number isn't attached to your name so I couldn't prove that the number I want to keep belonged to me.
