clivebaxter Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 My old phone with my UK micro sim has died and the sim wont fit in the newer nano sim phone. Are there any phones which take both micro and nano? If not have to buy an old one which takes micro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KannikaP Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 You can 'shave down' the mico SIM on a piece of sandpaper as long as you do not damage the chip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted March 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2022 Go to any mobile phone shop and ask them to cut down to nano. 20 Baht. Of course the DIY approach is also possible. Nano is just a bit bigger than the size of the chip / golden contacts 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy at a shop, cutting will be done without asking of course. Just bring old phone/SIM with you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2ndhomepattaya Posted March 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2022 alternatively, get a phone with the new e-sim. Then then just ask you provided for the QR code, problem solved. And you can have a number of numbers with 1 e-sim. No more swapping chips. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the limited selection available so far, the poster might have problems getting his UK SIM swapped for e-sim? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndhomepattaya Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Why swap. I don't think you know much about e-sim. There is no need to swap anything. The provider sends him an email with the attached QR code. You scan it and bingo you ready to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, now I know why SMS transaction codes have been abolished in many countries. Sending a highly sensitive QR code via email?? I assume there is a bit of a security mechanism behind? And yes I know what I say. Does "swapping" say physical? Edited March 4, 2022 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get the micro sim trimmed down to a nano sim, the trimming punch tool is widely available, I have one hanging around somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
