Upsizing 3 in 1 sim

[#1]

If you have a micro or mini sim that you want to use in a phone with a standard sized sim then Poundland occasionally sells lots to upsize sims consisting of several adaptors and a small lever for prising the sim from the frame.

Thank god for poundland lol...good tip.

OK but if you have a 3 in 1 sim why would you need to? :-)

EBay has plenty of them available too.

I needed to upsize a micro to standard at short notice so just used a three 3 in one sim pack and used the adapter in that. But with giffgaff doing 3 in 1 now it shouldn't be a problem for most people.

It's right but I have brought 10

Just in case anyone is confused by the terminology this pic should clarify things

What we now know as the standard SIM size (approx the same size a postage stamp) is actually called a Mini SIM (2FF). The original standard SIM size (1FF) is about the same size as a credit card.

The Poundland SIM size adapters only go from 4FF to 3FF to 2FF.

Handy to know

There`s no need to upsize now with the good 3 in 1 sims now available it does the job.

For example to use a micro sim in the standard sim slot of a dual sim phone, to put a 3 mini sim in an old android phone with the 3 app to get the sim number which was cut off in re- sizing, to use my mini phone sim in a dongle-with a valid gigabag or goody bag, of course...
