SIM Card incorrect size

[user_brickphone]

Good Evening

I'm enquiring about a SIM Issue with my phone. I have ben a long-time serving customer of Vodafone and have always been on PAYG as it is hassle-free and simple (in my opinion). 

I recently bought a new SIM and it's been fine however, just recently when I needed to reset my password for my email, it always leads me to my phone for a code. However the SIM is now not working and I cannot access the emails which is very annoying has there are some important documents on there that are STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

I hope there is someone on here who can help, I went to my nearest Vodafone store and all they did was get a standard sim bracket and push my sim in there, which didn't make any difference as my username is like my type of phone I use, a cheap £20 doofer with no camera or internet which doesn't support these Nano or Micro sims, just a standard sim, being Autistic as well means I don't have the stress of worrying about internet or camera or contract etc

Thanks in advance

The store should have done a SIM swap for you @user_brickphone, you would then have had the correct size SIM for the phone, the only problem is Vodafone have to send a verification code to the phone.  I would certainly recommend going back to the store and asking if it is possible for them to transfer your number to a new blank numberless PAYG SIM.

There is also the additional problem of you being unable to access emails without receive a verification code to your phone and this may be something for you to take up with your email ISP provider.

Thank You for your advice

In regards to the SIM, I understand completely, it was really frustrating once it did not work.

I honestly didn't think it would it have been that easy. I thought I may have been a bit more complex

In regards to emails, all I have set up is the phone and I can log in straightaway so as long as I can get the phone number back, I hopefully should be ok, I guess?

Hey @user_brickphone 🙂 there's nothing to suggest that once you have the SIM card up and running, that you won't be able to then access your emails as normal.
