sim swop (microsim)

[macboer]

If i swop my normal sim for a microsim at CellC, would I be able to get onto their 3G network. What kind of a sim sould i be looking for?

Very n00b, but I'm not clear on this. Are their data sims "special"?

They told me i can port my number to a "data-sim"(my own word)
["data-sim" = sim that comes with that R999 once off pacage]

You could also just make a microsim out of your current one. A few of my friends with iPhones have done it successfully.

It's a very old sim. Would it matter? Is there something special about the "data-sims"?

the only difference between sim and microsim is the physical size, with a pair of scissors you could turn a normal sim into a micro sim. But u do need to have the correct package on the correct sim.

Can you please explain "correct package"?

Older sims are 32k and 64k - the newer ones are 128k. Not sure if this affects what speed you'd get on the network, though, or if it'd be determined by which package you took. If you simply ported your old number, it'd be to a new (128k) sim anyway.

/end pointless ramble

Hi

The data sim is preloaded with the data package.
You need to get a microsim and swop the "contents" of the original sim to the microsim i.e data, cell no. etc.
