I'm looking at getting a newer phone in the near future. I will need a Nano Sim card to replace my Micro Sim one .How do I do this as well as make sure my number doesn't change? Is there a cost associated as well even though I'm a PM customer? Thanks in advance PM Friends

Likely no point looking for a prior SIM card. They can't be reused.
Phone number really has almost nothing to do with the 19 digit serial number of the SIM card. If you had to get a new SIM card you would log into your account and change the old SIM card number to your new SIM card number. Then replace the old SIM card in the phone with the new one and carry on.

Unless it's super old it likely has the perforations to pop out! 🙂

If you can't pop it out and don't want to cut it out with scissors you can indeed buy a new SIM and change it in your account. It should not change your number.

Yup, nano is the smallest size. I always keep the parts for the other sizes though too just in case I need to swap phones for whatever reason.

Usually, you are able to break the outer part of a sim to fit, but in case you are unable to do that, you may purchase a new sim, log in to your self-serve account and in Overview tab - My Profile section, click on the Change SIM Card link and follow the instructions.

Take a look at your current SIM to see if the nano size can be popped out!
