Phone game query help from a non gamer please

[Anj]

Hello, I don't really play games much, but my son does on his phone.
He is at a high level on War Robots and needs a new SIM card because the other tariff was pants and this one is much better.
We are terrified he is going to lose his progress when he switches card, we tried saving via the game to his google play account (he has a Samsung phone) but it just keeps not doing it and I don't know why. I tried getting it to save to a new account (mine) but it kept saying it wanted a school account rather than personal!!? WT heck?

I am utterly clueless, tried Googling, not a great deal of help. I feel that a change of SIM shouldn't affect the game surely but very tentative to change until I know a bit more about it. I literally play a daft little word game and candy crush, I'm an observer not a player lol. Does anyone have any expertise in this area before I have a week's worth of (sizeable) teenager thumping through the house like a grumpy yeti?

Not familiar with the game, but I know that feeling of (almost) losing a save on a game. Luckily because I was switching phones rather than SIM card I could go back to my old phone and try to get it done right.

Anyway this game seems to have an active reddit. Might be better to ask there: https://www.reddit.com/r/walkingwarrobots/
