Hi @davequ 

You will need to enter the sim inside a Mobile device where you can receive a code through text message and log into your iD Mobile App. Once done, you can put the sim back inside the router.

Unfortunately the phone I have is nano-sim, but the router is micro, so incompatible

Hello @davequ

Our SIM cards are 3-in-1 so you should be able to pop out the smaller size but keep the outer part to put back in later.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks - didn’t realise you could re-use the cut-out, and so unfortunately I threw all those ‘clearly no-longer needed’ bits away!

Hi @davequ 

If you already using the Micro sim, you should be able to push the nano sim out of the Micro sim and use it in your phone. You can then Pop the nano sim inside the Micro sim cut out and re-use it in your router. If for any reason this does not work, feel free to contact our Live Chat | iD Mobile Network team who will be able to send you out a replacement sim card.

Thank you - Live Chat have quickly agreed to send me a replacement SIM. Over & Out!

But just realised I didnt need to do that! Could do just what you suggested - which I will do & forget the replacement

Yes @davequ You can carry on using the same sim card. However, if that doesnt work in your phone then just wait for the replacement sim to arrive.

Popping the card in and out of its cardboard surround worked fine. Thanks
