Hello,

Thank you to the contributors of this thread. I just bought a recharge for my Orange Mobicarte that I have used with my flip phone. I have prevented my number from expiring which is what my intention was. I now own a Nexus 5 smartphone which takes a microSIM which means I need to cut the SIM down to that size. Has anyone successfully taken an Orange SIM and moved it to a different phone? I am aware that I will need to disable ALL data on my phone to keep it from getting consumed in the background if I am able to get it working. My goal is to have the phone for emergencies and use wifi as needed. Does anyone see any pitfalls with this scenario? Or should I simply keep the SIM as-is with the older generation flip phone due to the risk of insurmountable technical obstacles?

Thanks,

jb9
