Old 48 SIM not supported in Google Pixel 8 Pro

CiaranC7664 — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 21:20:39 GMT

Just bought a Google Pixel 8 pro and when I put my sim card into it it says "New sim needed, this sim is no longer supported", it's the right size but it's probably about 8+ years since I joined 48 and it's the same sim since then. If I just order a new sim will the new sim that arrives be compatible?

Probably needs a class C 1.8V SIM and the old SIM doesn't support this.

See here for example:

Just order a replacement.

Note that you probably won't get 5G connectivity on your Google Pixel phone because Google don't whitelist the 48/Liffey Telecom network for 5G connectivity for reasons only known to them.

For anyone looking, the above is the fix. Get a replacement SIM.

I got a "SIM not supported" message with my old 48.ie SIM. Ordered a replacement. The replacement works.

Pixel 9a also needs a class C 1.8V SIM and the old 48 SIM doesn't support this. Ordering a replacement SIM from here was the solution - https://48.ie/help/sim-replacement.

I wish someone would have explained this!
