Help! Broke My 3 Sim Card!
Hi,
In trying to cut to a Nano I've stripped off too much and it won't fit my new or old phone now! (lesson learned).I want to stay on 3 and keep the same number. What's the quickest and easiest way to do this? Do I have to go through the porting rubbish still even though I'm transferring number to the same network? Thanks. |

If you have a 3 store near you they should be able to help you out. There may be a charge for replacing the sim although occasionally they will waive this

It may be cheaper to get a new sim from a poundland/ 99p store/ home bargains etc. Then use it to do a SIM swap

I tried to get a 3 Shop to replace it for free but they were adamant that was not possible without paying the £5.11 fee. I guess that getting a new "free SIM" from 3 and trying to "SIM swap" it won't work either. |

I have mislaid a SIM on a PAYG account which only has £2.60 credit.

It's the same when you call up, a replacement sim should be £5, but if you're a long term customer and you've got a good reason then they'll do it free. |
