Difference between FirstNet SIM and Non-FirstNet SIM

Is there a difference in characteristics of a Black FirstNet SIM versus the standard Orange SIM.  Specifically,if it fits in the device slot, can I use a non-FirstNet SIM on a non-FirstNet device -and vice versa ?  The SIM contents (information about me, and my subscription agreement with AT&T) is the same regardless of the SIM type or SIM size.  Maybe there's a difference in SIM speed or data capacity -like our many choices in USB thumb drives.

Hello @nelsooooo,

 

Thanks for reaching out on our Business Community Forums.  I would be happy to help.  Although SIM cards are interchangeable, to deliver the best device experience for our FirstNet public safety users, please keep in mind that FirstNet approved devices are submitted through rigorous testing and certification before being approved to work with the FirstNet Black SIM/FirstNet Network.

 

If you have further concerns, please send me a private message by clicking here: https://soc.att.com/2r9CVC7

And include the following details:
