chickencam Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I have just bought my OH a Nokia Lumia 800 from Phones 4 U and looked at it when I got home yesterday and it takes a micro sim rather than the standard size. I am wondering how I go about getting one. It is a little complicated, i bought the phone as an upgrade on my Pay as you go, he is on a contract paid for by his work and he upgraded a couple of months back but gave the phone to ED who needed a decent phone to take to uni, hers was on it's last legs. I am annoyed that the girl who sold me the phone didn't mention that it needed a micro sim it is just as well that I looked at the set up instructions when I got home. if I go back to Phones 4 U but they would expect to give me a micro sim version of mine even if they can do that? Can you have more than one sim with the same number? I suspect not because of cloning issues etc. I know that ED had trouble with her new phone when she put her very old sim into it and she got a new sim through a vodaphone shop. Beyond that I am lost?

chickencam Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thankyou to anyone who has looked at this, but hopefully I have managed to sort it by logging into his account and requesting a new sim. ( we are very open with each other about passwords etc fortunately) I will have to get him to activate it before Christmas or swap the sim into his old phone whilst he is not looking provided that it comes with a holder that will fit his old phone, but i will cross that bridge when it arrives. I am hoping that it will be a normal sim with a micro popout which he can pop out on Christmas day and wonder how it got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 When I upgraded from the iphone 3 to 4, I had to cut the sim card down to size myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thanks, I had seen that you could do that, but I would be scared of damaging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm with orange, and when I needed one they just sent it to me with a small charge of £2.50. It arrived in 2 days hay presto! Sorted!!!!! Just give your provider a call! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 When I bought my iPhone I just took my old sim into Carphone Warehouse (didn't but it from them) and they cut it down for me. All phone shops (should) have a cutter a bit like a hole punch they can just pop the sim into and cut it down, takes 2 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
