Existing customer - changing SIM Card to nano

josephleedoucet — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:30:16 GMT

Hello,

I hope this is a simple question, I have a regular, or larger size SIM card and I need a smaller one to fit into a new phone. Do I just purchase a nano SIM card from public mobile and then what? I clicked on the link and I feel it said I have to activate it which put me as a new customer? Kinda confused, any help preferred

Take a closer look at your current SIM card. It may already consists of a nano SIM card with the micro or standard adapters. Look for the cut lines on your current SIM card. All you need is push the nano SIM card out from the adapters.

If it is relatively new PM SIM card, you can just usually carefully "punch" out the smaller size nano SIM card.

If unable to punch out, buy a new card from vendor and switch SIM card numbers in your self service account.

@josephleedoucet If you can punch out your current card and convert it to nano that would be the easiest. If it's not possible to use your existing card no need to create a new account just login to your account and select the change sim card option

You can cut the larger SIM card to nano SIM if you want. I have done it 5 times for the last couple of years. All you need is double sided tape to tape a tamplate to a SIM card and cut alone the line.

Here is a template. Print the following image in 100% size.

I gave also cut a sim before. Success once failed once. New sim is 10$ to buy, so probably quicker easier to buy if current sim is not 3 in 1
