Job Done and It’s Working

I switched to postpaid plan because I’m tired with my prepaid especially during night time when suddenly your line will be cut because your subscription expired and you cannot reload. But, I do want to throw away my old SIM(Subscription Identity Module) card and I want to retain it but when I got the phone, the SIM card size is outdated and it cannot be inserted to the slot of the new generation phones although it’s already a micro SIM. It can be resized but I need to pay 6 dollars at their customer service section. Nope I won’t! I believe the cost is excessive. I was given a new number instead. Nowadays, SIM cards are very small. They call it Nano SIM. Since I do not want to throw away my old SIM, I cut it by myself to fit the SIM slot of my new phone because the phone is capable of dual SIM. People who have my old number can still contact me through that because it’s working fine. I have now 2 numbers the postpaid and the prepaid. Had I agreed to have the job done at the network service center, certainly I’ve lost 6 dollars for a job that did not last for 5 minutes. Photo Credit: pixabay.com

Well done. I have transferred my simcard too. From my Smartphone to my IPhone. Gladfully i didn't buy a new simcard as it would have cost me 29€.

Really? I got my sim card as well as my husband's sim card re sized for no cost at all. Even the other sims before. No cost at all and we are using the prepaid card.

Good that you were not charge. Yes, they ask payment for the resizing.

That is one reason why I didn't shift to a new phone. The SIM card is different.

I need to change the unit of my phone also because it's been more than four years with me and the screen is already broken and the system works very slow and drains battery quick.

This is me when I do not want to spend money on things I believe I can do Ms. D. I'm just glad that I cut it right without damaging the chip. ??

Yes, because you can control the amount you spent in your prepaid sim unlike the postpaid that you pay what's in the plan.

For the replacement of the SIM Card is free here, as long as you bring the national ID card and the data in accordance with the one on the SIM Card.

That is good. I"m quite surprise for the service fee just for resizing the card.

That saves us from spending just for another SIM or paying the service of others.

$6 is too much just to get the compatible sim card.

That's right so I turned it down and do it myself the resizing.If I'm going to buy a new SIM, that would cost only 15 to 25 pesos (prepaid) and it's around 0.3-0.5 cents USD.
