I purchased a SIM card online, was sent a regular SIM card but I didn't realize that the phone I purchased required a nano SIM card. Rather than waiting another 10 days to receive a SIM card by purchasing it online, can it be purchased in a store?

Fits in a 8” Floppy Disk Drive. Or, maybe it was an 8 track player....

Z10user4,

i've heard of that before. I'm uncertain if the larger plastic piece is of the same size or if the electrical contacts would align.

lol Yeah. It's called full-size. Maybe a very early initial device had a slot for that. But shortly after the standards went to the mini.

Thank you. This is new to me. Stay safe too.

@Lucy3 no need to order another one. The current sim cards are triple punch ones. Just punch it down to the nano SIM. Welcome to PM. Stay safe.

The SIM you got is 4 sizes. The very old full size credit card. Then you snap out the next size. Then you carefully snap out the next size from that. Then finally very carefully snap out the nano size.
