You have some sim bounty hunters in your area @CountyDownIeUk ? 😁


Lock it up. 

Chances are you will remember where the spare is

If not locked up some one incompetent throws it away. 

Etc.

1. I would suggest you buy a spare ahead of time SIM for this.....lost SIM....lost Phone.....damaged SIM. And keep in mind if no retailer nearby then you are looking at a 1-3 week wait. 

2. Lock it up and know where it is. 

3. When needed sign on to your My Account and do the SIM card change option.

Crisis averted, that's good @Ikran  😁

 

Do you have access to your My Account? All the managing and also swapping of sim cards can be done there under the Profile tab.

 

If you are a current customer with a plan and phone number, but do not have a My Account set up yet (this could be the case if you activated instore, in the past), then you can submit a ticket here to: Create or forgot My Account email or password link
