Hi, I have just upgraded from samsung s3 to iphone 5s and so my number is ported onto new nano sim which is for 5s and my old sim is stopped working. But I want to use my s3 with micro sim, can I get a new micro sim with the same number so that I can use my s3

Regards

No, you can't have the same number on 2 sim cards. You would need to have a different number on the S3.

You could pick up a sim adapter from any o2 shop to place your nano sim in to use the s3.

Just not both at the same time unless your on a business tariff.

You could pick up a payg sim to use in the s3 with a new number.

 

As a side note you may want to check with o2 CS that they have you on the correct idata settings on your account.

 

If you have issues connecting to the internet then text ACTIVE to 2020, save settings and turn airplane mode off and on.

I thought the 5s used a nanosim.

Indubitably true. Samsung S21 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra

Indeed it does for the OP's iPhone 5s.

 

But they have a Samsung s3 too which uses a microsim.
