Changing from normal sim to micro sim

[Anon]

I had a normal sim but I ordered a micro sim as I now have an iphone. I wanted it to have the same phone number as before. How do I go about doing this?

Did you order a new micro SIM here?

If so then when you get it DON'T register it here:

http://48months.ie/register-sim

but instead log a support request here:

http://help.48months.ie/requests/new

asking 48 support to transfer your existing account, membership, credit and number to the micro SIM.

If you ordered a repacement SIM here:

then this happens automatically and your online account should tell you what (if anything) to do.

Another alternative is to just get your mini SIM cut to micro SIM size - you can do this yourself (carefully), with a special cutting tool or get a phone shop to do it.

One other option is to just order a nano SIM and then use a nano to micro or nano to mini SIM converter - e.g. I have seen these for sale for about a fiver in Dublin city centre (e.g. GSM Solutions on Upper Abbey Street - no vested interest other than as a passing customer).

Hope this helps.
