Your flip phone likely takes a micro sized Sim card. If you saved the larger sized frames from your original tri-cut Sim card you can just snap the larger sized frame back on the nano sized Sim card. Many cell phone dealers or providers have tri-cut Sim card frames from their activations lying around that they will give you one for free so popping in to a TMS or Best Buy location etc.....or a telus or koodo store should avail you of a micro sized Sim card frame.

 

If you happen to be in Vancouver i can give you one....? Just private message me. Otherwise once properly sized for your flip phone pop it in and you should be good to go unless your phone is locked to either the bell or Roger's network.

If your flip phone originally came from telus or koodo then it will work on pm whether it's unlocked or not....unless it's really old!! What is the make and model?

Well, @patbun316 , it depends HOW OLD the flip phone is.

 

My favorite, ever, mobile phone is attached below.   This beast was virtually indestructible, kept a charge for almost a week (even after 4 years of use!!!) and let me tell you, was the coolest device ever.

 

But alas, had no SIM card slot.    Really old .... hopefully yours isn't this old.  LOLOL

@patbun316 yes , you can. 

 

just make sure the flip phone takes the same nano size sim card.  If it take the micro or full size sim, you will need adapter to "upsize" it.  Mobile stores usually can give one to you for free
