You need different size SIM cards depending on your mobile phone.
iPhone 5, iPad and iPad mini with cellular, all make use of the nano-SIM format.
To ensure you get the correct size for other phones or devices, we’ve combined the standard SIM and Micro-SIM into one - it’s called the Multi SIM.
If your phone needs a Micro-SIM, just pop the smaller sized SIM out then place it in your phone.
You will need a Micro-SIM for the following devices:
If your phone takes a standard size SIM you don’t need to do anything - just place the SIM straight into your phone.
Apart from the devices listed above, all other devices use a Standard SIM.
You can use an adaptor to convert your Micro SIM back to a Standard SIM - just pop into a Vodafone store and we’ll give you one for free.
Yes, you can keep your number when you move to a Multi SIM. If you are purchasing a new mobile phone through our online shop, call 777 or visit a Vodafone store once you receive your phone and Multi SIM to swap your mobile number onto your new Micro SIM.
Once you swap your mobile number onto your new Multi SIM, your standard SIM will be deactivated, so you won’t be able to use it again. Make sure you have your mobile phone and your new Multi 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 on your mobile phone or by visiting any Vodafone store once you have your Multi SIM - they can copy your contacts from your old SIM to your Multi SIM.
No, the Micro SIM used for the 1st-generation iPad cannot be used with the iPad 2 nor the 3rd-generation iPad. You will need to upgrade to a Multi SIM.
If you have purchased the new Multi SIM for iPad and have remaining balance on your original Micro SIM for iPad account, then call 0800 456 021 and speak to our service team about transferring your balance.
