I have purchased a new Sim for a router and wish to add it to my phone app. The router requires a standard Sim - my phone a smaller one. I have no way of receiving the confirmation code without destroying the standard sim. Is there a solution?

What router do you have? Most have the ability to send and receive SMS messages via the router's web GUI.

    Hi ​@Robin Goodfellow 

     

    To sign up to the app, you’d need the SMS verification, it may be worth putting the SIM in a supported device to receive the text, as we don’t officially support usage of our SIM cards in routers.
