Standard Sim to Nano Sim?

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

How do I go about changing my standard sim to a nano sim while still keeping the same contract/tarriff/number etc?

I literally just want a smaller sim card so it will fit in the iPhone 5s.

Thank you!

Pick up a blank nano sim from an o2 shop and they will do this for you or do it at home using the above link or you can request this via text message by sending 'Swap' to 20220. Only do this when you have the nano sim.

Make sure you ask for a contract or payg one.

Or have one posted out to you.

Take into account it can take up to 24 hours for the service to settle.

Typically turning the iphone off and on helps the re connection.

Is there any way of ordering a blank nano sim off of the o2 website?

I don't have a local o2 shop!

Ring 202 for contract or 4445 for payg or use Live Online Chat http://www.o2.co.uk/mobile/contactus

Any mobile phone shop will cut your sim down for you (with a specialised sim cutter) if you prefer a quicker route.

I went down that route once and the silly people ruined the sim card !

 

On balance other people i've spoken to said it went ok.

Worst case scenario is that you have to get a new sim and do a sim swap, so nothing to lose and only time to gain

I've had 1 cut down sim fail out of 4 that I've done so it can go wrong, but not always.

I personally would just get the right size sim

To the best of my knowledge, blank replacement sims cannot be ordered online.  When you order a sim online, it will be a new sim with a new number.  It is just the same process to sim swap with a blank sim as it is with a sim with a new number.
