Best micro to mini SIM adapter?

thegirlintheattic

Any recommendations for a micro to mini (normal) SIM adapter? I've seen some on Amazon but they have mixed reviews.

I've previously used a PYG SIM when I wanted to use an old phone for places where my new phone might get damaged, but it would be easier just to swap my contract SIM in, then I wouldn't have to use a different number and top up.

O2 shops give them out for free.

Even for non-customers? I'll have to find an O2 shop.

I would also like to know if for non customers, I doubt it somehow

I was in Phones4U toda looking for same thing, they have them at £5, which I will probably buy, aso includes mini to micro adapters in same pack

If not I'll try Phones4U - the ones on Amazon were reviewed saying they caused damage so would prefer a more 'official' one.

An 'official' adapter is going to be exactly the same size and shape as an 'unofficial' one

If it's a long term thing get your network to send a replacement. Otherwise, risk it.

In the past, when O2 sent out payg sim cards they sent an adapter too, not sure if they still do that.

Yes, they give them out to anyone. Just say you read it in the Giffgaff forums; they have nano and micro SIM adapters. I tried it when I was on Orange (although I'm now on Giffgaff). They didn't ask for any proof that I was a Giffgaff customer. Giffgaff and O2 are both owned by Telefonica, and O2 shops support some Giffgaff tasks such as top-ups.

No o2 shops don't support giffgaff nor do they issue topups or provide support.
