Virgin Mobile Sim Swap

ABARKIE

Hi

Can anyone help me to do a sim swap on Virgin PAYG

I have a full size sim for use in my old trusty Motorola flip phone but now want to use a Nano SIM, keeping the same number.

How can I do this?

Do I just get one from a shop say B&M / Poundland etc and call Virgin to get the number moved between the SIMs or is there another way

Thanks in advance for looking

Probably easier to to buy a sim cutter off eBay for £2.

Or get a phone shop to cut it for you

Can you not just ask Virgin to send you a new correct size SIM?

I had a problem with my phone the other day and 4 CSA's in a row all wanted to send me a replacement SIM rather than just fixing the problem. I got the feeling there was some kind of incentive scheme for the CSA who sent out the most replacement SIM's per month.

Do they do Trio sized sims?

It sounds more like that's the trouble-shooting protocol for solving the problem you were presenting with. Either that or they read the notes from each of your previous calls!

Virgin normally charge you £5 for a replacement sim.

If you spend more than £6 a month on topups, you would be better off with their sim only deal. You get 300 mins a month and unlimited txt's.
