Yes, I've never bought a phone that was locked to a specific network.
So as far as I know,I can just stick any SIM card in my old mobile. Or indeed my new mobile, but there wouldn't be much point in that;
I think the old one still works, but there must have been some reason why I bought a new one. I think I wanted something with more storage capacity, and my new one has loads.
It's just occurred to me that I need to double check all my photos etc are backed up.
I hardly ever make actual phone calls, I usually use WhatsApp or texts or emails, but clearly if my main phone is stolen I would need to make various phone calls ASAP.
I was just going to get a cheap card from Argos, so I'm not sure anybody there would know!
The actual mobile I use is on a SIM only contract with iD, so maybe I should just ask them.
I don't care about the number as it's only for occasional use. I've had my main mobile number ever since I've had a mobile, apart from a work related one, so around 25 years, and I do care about that number as it's very easy to remember, so I've moved it around whenever I've changed providers
Oh, really?
I thought there were just two sizes and if you needed the smaller one you just took off the surrounding bit?
Surely mobiles take a SIM card for any network, otherwise you could never change network without changing your phone?
How long have you had that SIM card in the phone?
If I have to make phone calls using the back up phone, the person I was calling wouldn't know who it was! They might think it was spam!
I'd have to tell them in advance that I was going to call them 🤣
