Toggle Mobile for abroad? What about in the UK?

blackguy52

I'm totally confused here. Do toggle offer micro sims or nano sims or not? Am lost by this thread. My other question is what does it matter about t mobile list of chargeable numbers? If your with toggle..isn't this as simple as they send you a sim card..you use it? Sorry i'm not the most technical with technology..I'm just trying to work out if this tariff/sim is worth it here!

If it's in the list (or they just dislike the number) it will cost other people on T-mobile (and maybe on some other networks?) to call you.

I understood that T-Mobile's reason for surcharging for calls to Lycamobile numbers is not so much about Lycamobile's higher termination rate but about Lycamobile having taken a huge block of numbers with them when they moved from T-Mobile to Vodafone a few years ago. Is there any truth in this?

After being sent a full size sim (after ordering a nano sim) i contacted them and they sent me out a cut down nano sim which seemed to work ok in my phone,

I would caution against inserting a cut-down nano-SIM into an iPhone 5. A genuine nano-SIM is 0.67mm thick but a cut-down SIM is 13% thicker at 0.76mm, so you have to force it into an iPhone 5. There are reports of cut-down SIMs getting stuck in the iPhone 5, which invalidates the warranty. Toggle need to supply proper nano-SIMs; cutting them by hand is not sufficient.

I;m worried by the number of reports of them sending out full sims and cutting them down..are micro sims safe?

Yes, micro-SIMs should be fine because 2FF mini-SIMs and 3FF micro-SIMs are both 0.76mm thick, so they can be cut in two dimensions. The only risk is fragments of metal causing a short circuit.
