You can generally put any SIM card in an unlocked iPhone. If the iPhone is locked to a specific carrier, it will only work with SIM cards from that carrier. To check if your iPhone is unlocked, go to Settings > General > About and look for the 'Carrier Lock' line. If it says 'No SIM restrictions', your iPhone is unlocked. For locked devices, you need to contact the mobile carrier to unlock it or use a SIM card from that carrier.
