If this is possible:

a) how much will it cost?
b) can we minimise any downtime by ordering the new SIM(s) and activating them on arrival rather than having to have the old SIM(s) deactivated whilst we wait for the new one(s) to arrive?
c) what is the activation process and how long does it take?

I know SIM cutters are available but I'd probably only be wanting to go down that route as a last resort and the contact area on one of the SIMs is too big to cut down anyway.

TIA as always.
When I changed my phone which had the standard size sim I phone Virgin mobile and the sent out as micro sim FOC with my same number using normal Royal Mail extra if I wanted in the next day, I choose royal mail and it arrived in 2 days
