Tommygunn Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Just wanted to check, with anyone in the know, whether I am safe to go ahead and chop my sim card and make it into a nano sim? My concern is, that since it is more than ten years old then the chip and/or internal connecting wires might be more exposed towards the edges. My sim, below. Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Can you get your service provider to provide you with a new Nano SIM? Also, it'll probably be fine. If it isn't fine, you need a new SIM anyway... Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 In this day and age can they transfer a bog standard, pay as you go type number/account to a new sim? Back in the day they couldn't, but now? Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 They might have said they couldn't but it was possible. I've had the same number since approx 2000 and transferred it from SIM to SIM no problem. I seem to recall they might have said they can't do PAYG to contract on the same network. Just port it to a different network then back to original one. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Yup, same number for 20 years here. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Had mine at least 15. As said, can you not request a new aim card? The come perforated now to save you hacking them up. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 They cut mine down, and I keep the same number for almost 20 years now, with the same SIM to boot. A guy from a phone stall at a mall did it for me, the card works. Also, yes, they can transfer your number and account to a new SIM card without problems. Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I just thought I'd round this off and say that I did cut my old, old sim card down myself and I had no problems at all. Just used the measurements on the internet and my wife's nano sim as a guide and chopped and filed away, no sweat. Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
