  • Current customers purchasing an iPhone 4 in a Vodafone store will be able to swap your number onto your new Micro SIM on the spot.
  • If you are purchasing your iPhone 4 through our online shop, call 777 or visit a Vodafone store once you receive your iPhone 4 and Micro SIM to swap your mobile number onto your new Micro SIM.
  • New to Vodafone? You do not need to do anything. Your Micro SIM will arrive with your new number already attached. If you are bringing your number from another network call 777 or visit any Vodafone store to transfer your number.

Important info for when you move to a Micro SIM

Once you swap your mobile number onto your new Micro SIM, your standard SIM will be deactivated, so you wont be able to use it again. Make sure you have your iPhone 4 and your new Micro SIM before you request your mobile number to be transferred.

Also, you'll need to back up your contacts from your current SIM card. You can do this by:

  • Connecting to iTunes if you are already an iPhone user
  • Visiting any Vodafone store once you have your Micro SIM – they can copy your contacts from your old SIM to your Micro SIM.
