Sim Information

We offer 3 types of SIM cards with different sizes but all doing the same job. The SIM card types are:

Standard SIM
Micro SIM
Nano SIM








 Every device is designed to work with a certain size, so ensure you check which one you need for your phone, tablet or mobile broadband/4G WiFi device.

Standard SIM
This is the original SIM size and is mainly used in older phones and devices. It measures 25mm x 15mm in size.
Example of devices using the standard SIM:
  • Apple- iPhone 3GS
  • Samsung – Galaxy SII, Note
  • Nokia – 300, 301
  • HTC – Desire HD
Micro SIM
Micro SIMs are smaller size than Standard SIMs. These are mainly used in smartphones. It measures 15mm x 12mm in size.

However, if you are switching from a device that uses a standard SIM to one that uses Micro SIM, the SIM card can also be cut for you by an expert, that is if you don’t want to buy a new one at any telecoms outlet.
