1p mobile nano chip

I'm currently with 1p mobile because I'm a low user. I have just changed my phone from a Samsung to iPhone (older model SE). The small chip from the Samsung will not fit my i phone, all 1p mobile can suggest is sending me another chip but I fear this will be the same as the 1st one they sent me. Does anyone out there know if there is a problem here with 1p mobile and iPhone?

Thanks in advance

    Your old phone used a micro sim? Just push the nano sim out of the micro sim.

    Which iPhone do you have? I presume from SE you have an iPhone 6 SE?

    Everything from the iPhone 5 onwards is a nano sim which is the smallest going. As above its most likely the Samsung used Micro. It just pops out from its holder.

    if your existing sim is just micro you need a new multi sim where you can pop out the nano.

    But you should be able to pop out the nano from the existing micro rather than just getting a new SIM for the sake of it. AFAIK all those micro sims were convertible to nano just by pushing them out. If you needed to go the other way there are adapters available.
  • Panic over! Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my post, much appreciated. As you can tell I'm not at all Techie, I was only trying to put the memory card from the Samsung into the iPhone sim slot :rotfl: Rang 1p mobile and they were most helpful, didn't lol at me, and they answer their phone within 3 rings :T: I managed to cancel the sim that they were sending out too.

    Thanks again

    Not all, most are now the 3-in-1 type where you can pop out the nano from the micro now, when I upgraded earlier this year my micro sim that I had had for 2 years did not pop out to nano and had to order a new sim.
