Dos_Box Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Ordered a Nexus 4 from Google last night. It arrived at 10am this morning! Ordered micro-SIM cutter at the same time from Amazon. That has still not been dispatched. ZeroHour informed me that my mobile provider (Virgin) will provide a free micro-SIM with number transferred on request. Phoned Virgin and they are processing the order (free). I should have it within 5 working days. Cancelled the SIM cutter order. Now I have a shiny new Nexus 4 but no way of using it yet! Now then...Shaun did mention I could take some scissors to the old SIM
TheScarfedOne Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Waiting for the "I broke my sim" thread...
Arthur Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Ordered a Nexus 4 from Google last night. Does that mean you aren't keeping the Star N9770?
Dos_Box Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Yes I am actually. It's a really good phone, especially for the price and it's going in the car as a sat-nav and music center and probably to festivals and the like as well.
Soulfish Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Cut my Mums normal sim down to mini-sim size when she got a Nexus 4 for Christmas. Easy to do and plenty of guides online if you can't wait for the virgin sim to turn up
sidewinder Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I cut mine when I got my iPhone, far too impatient to wait for a cutter or new SIM. As long as you have sharp scissors and cut really carefully, its easy
Dos_Box Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 WOW! Just got an email from Virgin. My new SIM should be delivered tomorrow! Well done beardy fellas! 1
lmgtfy Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I can't believe your resisting the cut! You can print a template and everything online. I did it when I got my Nexus 4 last week, brilliant phone btw, just make sure your careful what you put it down on if you don't have a cover on the back. I left mine on a toughdrive which has a rubber back came back into the office and it magically slid off! I thought someone had been playing with it until I saw it do it itself again lol
rich_tech Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Wish I had got the Nexus 4 as im a big fan of google, I can't say I would have the bravery to hack my own sim card, knowing my sausage fingers and awesome manual dexterity, I know I would be the one to rip the chip off the card.
Domino Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 If only phone suppliers had stores.... Ric walked down the road and returned with a micro sim and some fudz
fairm010 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I cut my SIM not long ago as I couldn't wait for a new one. I had a MicroSIM to work from and found it very easy! Matt

If you want to find the true definition of frustration then just ask John here about the problems he's had with his shiny new Nokia windows 8 phone!

ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 John has a new phone with a modern phone OS? I meant John Graham of ICT Direct infamy. Not John Smith of Edugeek myth. Sorry for the confusion.
Dos_Box Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 It's the works number SIM, so I really can't chance it. The new one should be waiting for me when I get home tonight.

Oi the pair of you I have had my lovely HTC Pro 7 for a couple of years now it was at BETT last year and this year and maybe BETT 2014 as well as no-one has done me a real keyboard yet I will be with this one for a while as On-Screen keyboards are just not for me yet As for this phones predecessor the HTC Touch Pro that came from ICT Direct ironically As for John Grahams Nokia issues I've given over calling him on the mobile the office is easier and means you may even get the joy of speaking to me Dave
