Have just bought a second hand xperia z1 that's locked to vodafone. Hoping to get it unlocked in the next few days. As the phone takes micro sim do i just cut the sim down to size myself? I thought i would be able to order a mirco sim on here but it seems there are only two options which are:

Dual SIM - for phones that take a regular or micro SIM

Nano SIM - for an iPhone 5/5c/5s

If anyone can advise on how much it costs to unlock the xperia z1 or if there is any free way of doing it I'd appreciate it 🙂

I know that in the past 48 supplied mini/regular SIMs and mini SIMs separately.

At some point they switched to dual SIMs (mini SIM which could be popped out to become a micro SIM).- and also nano SIMs separately.

I have a few mini SIMs that I got a while ago but I recently (within the last few weeks) got a replacement dual SIM and it's definitely like the O2 one pictured above. I'm using it as a mini SIM at the moment but just received a new phone that takes a micro SIM. When I switch over to this I will pop out the micro SIM from the dual SIM and use that in the new phone. The dual SIM is scored around the outline of the micro SIM so that it can be popped out. Look carefully at your SIM to double check in case yours is the same.

You can post a picture using the button in the post message toolbar. You then browse to the image stored on your local computer. If it's on your phone then you need to transfer it over first.

Hope this helps.

It was roughly around 5 months ago, this is picture of it

OK that's not a dual sim.
It's a dedicated mini/regular sim.
I suspect that 48 did not offer dual sims 5 months ago.
You said earlier that you had a dual sim but I think you are mistaken.
Order a dual sim now and you can pop out the micro sim for your phone.
If you need to use the above mini sim in the meantime then order a swap rather than replacement sim so that the mini sim does not get disabled immediately.

Hope this helps.
