Change SIM (from regular to micro/nano SIM)

[boytsiks]

it's too risky if I will just cut the regular SIM into a micro SIM doon sa tabi tabi. (or to retailers).

I might go to other Globe center to fix it (and even upgrade to LTE)

Nag uupgrade ba sila ng LTE nano sim for pre paid. Up until now, lahat ng globe biz center from MOA to Festival Mall Alabang, walang stock for replacement of my old 3G nano sim to LTE. Unlike to postpaid ni miss, within 30 mins napalitan.

I've been trying to get my nano sim replaced since May this year. Checked again last week, same reply. So I guess ayaw nilang magpalit pag prepaid

Mukhang ayaw nga, nung nagpa change ako ng postpaid ko may couple na itinulak na from different globe centers with the same concern, sa isip isip ko, bakit di na lang i-turn down at tinuturo pa sa ibang branch?

Obvious na di sila pagbibigyan kasi they want them to just buy another prepaid LTE sim and maintain (w/separate load) and use both for traditional and LTE use. It's obvious kasi in my case, sa postpaid ko they won't even give me plan zero for free to retain my account, kelangan may 50 keso maintenance fee, becoz they know the value of keeping your number.

walang personalan, negosyo lang

Last April 2015, mabilis lang at libre ang upgrade for pre paid. Had it done at Glorietta Mall in Makati.

Because it''s free. Cut SIMs tend to have issues with some mobile phones if not done properly.

Yes, tama ito.

Yung isang sim card ko na ginawang micro-sim sa tabi-tabi, bigla na lang nag international text to the U.K. after getting cut.

Eh wala naman akong text-mate overseas, at ang tagal-tagal na sa akin ng number na iyon hindi nagloloko kailanman, nun na lang pina-cut ko sa tabi-tabi.

i read of a similar complaint..
it happened right after he had his regular-size sim replaced by a microsim.
it would appear, someone tapped into his sim and...made un-authorized transactions.
his sim contained more than just phone numbers, daw..

"cloning" is the term yata..

you better complain asap and make a lot of loud noise, po.
before you find out you just bought a condo in timbuktu..

Thanks for the tip doc. Mukhang may punto ka. Suspetsa ko kasi noon isang taga-loob sa telco ang gumagawa ng kabulastugan. Di ko naisip na baka yung nag-cut ng sim card ang nag-clone at gumagawa ng kalokohan using my number.

Kaya dapat pag-pina-cut ang sim card, hindi pwede mawala sa paningin mo yung nag-cu-cut at baka na-clone na sim card mo.

Anyway, said sim number has already been deactivated, and all overseas text charges was reverted to me. Walang kwenta customer service ng telco kasi walang masuggest bakit nagkaganun yung number na yun, even after I told them how it happened only after it was cut, pinakita ko pa nga yung sim card sa kanila eh. And this happened for a few billing cycles. Some months, nandun yun illegal texts, some months wala, kaya nabuwisit na rin ako sa katatawag at ka-e-explain na di ako nag-i-international texts kaninuman.

Extreme solution lang ang ma-offer nila: Putulin na yung line.

they probably know exactly what happened.. probably even the identity of the unscrupulous person.
but they dare not say anything negative about the company they work for, for fear of lawsuit and/or termination.

Halata kapag na clone ka, mawawalan signal bigla kapag nag enable yung clone mo sa network.

Try other globe center. Nakapag change ako dati from regular sim to micro sim LTE.-

I'll try to go to other center...pero yung cloning thing na yan, may big possibility na magiging active pa rin ang old SIM while the new SIM is also active?
