I have just received my mini sim card for my I-phone 5, how do I activate it?

Hi

I have received my mini sim and want to know about activating it. Also once activated will it mean my existing sim will not work because I dont want to be without a phone while I get use to the i-phone?

Cheers

Insert the nano sim in the phone which will activate it.

No your old sim will work until you complete a sim swap which moves your tariff and mobile number to the nano sim.

You'll just have a 2nd tel number unless the nano sim you have now is a blank SIM card.

You could pick up a Payg nano sim from any O2 high street store (you may be asked to top up by£10) or order a free one here https://www.o2.co.uk/freesim/

Then When your ready to use the iPhone as your primary phone perform the sim swap I mentioned above via http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk or an O2 high street store can do that for you.

Use this form to activate your new sim with your current number and tariff http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk/

Once the new sim activates, your old phone will not work with the old sim if you're swapping your number. It will be in at the deep end.
