New phone confusion
 
I have just got a shiny new Sony Xperia M4 Aqua. The instructions such as they are say i have to insert the new sim card into the phone. And from the instructions it looks like the card goes into a slot at the side.

Problem is it wont fit

Its my first smart phone although i have had other mobile phones. With my old phones you took the back off and fitted the sim card. I wonder if Virgin have sent me the wrong card by any chance.

You need to be using a Nano sim card. Also make sure you are trying to put it in the correct slot as the M4 has a MicroSD slot as well.

I think the sim is wrong. Looking at the virgin media card the sim came on it looks like they sent me a micro sim (it has a red border)

Is there a Virgin phone number to call if you have problems.

They wouldn't have sent the wrong SIM. All SIMs now can be pushed out to be either Micro or Nano.

What Stephen said, just popout the Nano sim from the Microsim.

Yes, I learned that. What you do is, push the SIM from the gold part out and there is your nano SIM card.

No worries, it isn't made clear. I had to call them up when I got mine last year. I did suggest to them that they include instructions on how the micro SIM works, they obviously don't feel it is needed.

Not clear at all, that the delivered SIM can be either a Micro or Nano depending on what phone you have got!

The stupid thing I rung up saying I needed a Nano SIM and the CS sent me out another of these dual SIMS :D

The funny thing is to make it a Nano SIM you just need to push it out of the middle :D
