I have a new phone and need a smaller SIM card.

Lebara SIMs fit all phones and come in a block of three sizes– standard, micro and Nano. If you have a new phone that needs a smaller SIM size than what you currently have, you can simply break away the outer casing and pull out the smaller size you need from your existing SIM card.

I’ve lost my phone – can I retrieve my contacts?
