Yes, It is Possible, The first thing You need to check is the sim supports on 4G network or also support 3G / 2G. If sim supports the 2G and 3G then you can use it without any settings but ONLY 3G services.
**4G cannot be used on 3G phone as Hardware is not compatible. But still if you want to make use of 4G only sim card on 3G phone then you have to do ( try) it with Engineering mode:
First you need to Check your system chip set by installing the System info APP or you can search for your device on this website How To change switch 2G 3G to 4G(Know Review Tips). OR continue if you already know.

for
Mediatek CHIPS:

  2. Open it and click on “Mtk Settings”.
  3. Under Telephony scroll down , to “Network selecting/Preferred Network” Option.

Support for 4G LTE depends on the hardware of the device. It is not at all possible to do what is stated in the question. As far as I know, even when it comes to 4G, you have different bands based on the technique used such as TDD, FDD thereby giving us different bands for different regions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li...

Also as an example, I have a 4G enabled phone in India which uses TDD band 40. When I carry this phone to the US and use the network provided by AT&T, it will not work since AT&T uses FDD 4G.
