Can't switch my SIM card between two phones I own?

crondeau

Hello,

My dad just gifted me his old phone, which is a Samsung Galaxy A5 from 2017, and I thought I could just switch my SIM card from my old Samsung Nexus 5, but somehow it looks like the SIM card I already have simply doesn't fit in the slot of the new phone. Can I just order a new compatible SIM card and keep my account? I didn't find where to do so on the website.

Thanks!

Hi @crondeau

You can order a new simcard from Fizz and associate it with your account. Please contact Fizz Support so that they can guide you through the process (Settings - Contact Form - Green Chat Bubble).

Hope that helps

You can have adapter for the sim card too

Easy. There is something called sim card cutter. Cut it to smaller it it's too big. Add a expand adapter ($1 every cell store) to make it bigger.

Actually I just checked the Samsung uses a nano sim and the Nexus uses a micro-sim. I've been with Fizz since day one and the sims are actually the 3 in 1 sims and you could simply punch out the sim to it's nano size and have it fit right away in your new phone
