Can I put my phone SIM in a tablet and change them out?

Hi there! I'm currently on a family plan and have a line for $25 with unlimited talk, text, and data. I have a phone currently, and I'm looking to buy an unlocked LTE Samsung tablet. I was curious if I could swap my SIM card between my phone and my tablet whenever I wanted to use data on the tablet? Like, if I was on the go, I could just pop the SIM on my plan out of my phone, put it in the tablet, and use the internet on it? I called customer support, and they said yes, this was possible and I didn't have to buy a special plan or anything . However, I've heard from others that you have to buy a data only plan. Any info? Thanks in advance for the help!

(The tablet I'm looking at is an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Tab s5e with LTE)

I wouldn’t recommend it..

Cricket has been cracking down on people who use their phone sim on tablets, since it breaks their TOS

They’ll suspend the line until they see its back on a phone again, and sometimes they’ll just cancel your service :c
