Kay 3,709 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Is data switched on? What phone is it? Yes the data is switched on ... I have just put a sim in the other slot & although I have no credit on it its fired up & I have a signal etc... so if thats the case I need to swap sims for a standard sized one .. how the hell do I make a macro into a standard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

treecreeper 1,136 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Is it not a setting on the phone as to which one it's using? Micro Sims are newer than the bigger ones? Could just be that 02 one is getting signal and the other isn't? Depends where you live I suppose. Edited February 27, 2016 by treecreeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurcherman 887 13,248 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 So you have 2 lines on one phone 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Sorry to hear your slot is too big. Sounds like you need to swap the sim cards into different slots but they are the wrong size. You can make a big sim into a smaller one but not the other way round. Get your provider to send you the correct size sim card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 99p You can make a micro sim into the larger size http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Nano-Micro-Mini-Sim-Card-Adapter-Converter-To-Standard-Sim-For-iPhone-/261803393298?hash=item3cf4b2c112:g:yvYAAOSwrklU-jx1 this one is a better pic http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Micro-Sim-to-Normal-Sim-Card-adapter-converter-for-iPhone-4-4S-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-/351663263687?hash=item51e0c38fc7:g:1ScAAOSwx-9WzbCy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
