SIM replacement

Hello, I just got a new phone, but my SIM card is too big. I need a nano SIM, is there any wat this could be sent to me or do I need to phone in and try to arrange for a new SIM card?

Thank you

Re: SIM replacement

@Emm1  Welcome to the forum.

If you have a relatively new SIM it will be a 3 in 1 type. Take your SIM card out you should find that it is perforated for smaller SIMs and all that you need to do is push the smaller SIM out of the centre.

Re: SIM replacement

Hello, thanks for the reply, unfortunately it's not the 3 in 1 type, I've had my old phone for a number of years now and the SIM is too big, there's no way in making it fit.

Re: SIM replacement

I'm sure PlusNet can send a replacement.

In the meantime, you can try the old scissors trick and see if that works.

Re: SIM replacement

Hiya @Emm1, I'm sorry your SIM doesn't fit in the new handset. Could you pop me over a PM with your full name and Mobile number, and I can certainly assist with getting a new one sent for you. 

 

(to send a PM, click on my name and then to the right, there will be a grey button to 'send private message' and in the message please include a link to this thread)

Re: SIM replacement

Sure, just message me your mobile number and full name but you might need to post twice more first
