    Hello, I have a question whether someone has managed to replace the truncated sim card with the operator free of charge. I have a card which has already been years old has been cut off to micro sim and here are my doubts. The card is efficient but due to the age and one drawback I would prefer to replace it with a new one, so as not to have a surprise. The disadvantage is that after cutting you do not always want to lock yourself in the phone's socket. On the Internet I found that for free exchange of the card, it can not be damaged, probably the operator will treat it as damage due to the user's fault. It's about the Orange prepaid sim.

    Hello, you probably will not be able to exchange for free (they will find a reason to blame the user what is in your case) but in general the exchange is possible, a lot of west because of the sentiment to your telephone number. Regards

    I can ask in what network did you replace this card? Have you waited for a duplicate for a long time or have they done it?

    I exchanged the card in Orange prepaid - when I registered my number, I offered to exchange for a new card. She took a card from the prepaid packages that they had at the point (or something similar), typed something into the computer, called somewhere, took the old card, gave it a new one. The new one became active - of course with the old number - after 30 minutes. Everything for free.

    The replacement of the card by the operator is not its duplication, etc. ... the number of the card removed from the box is married to the phone number, which lasts 3 minutes (edit: and results after a short time). It does not hurt anyone at all, either in the cost of labor or in the material (pennies), and it is easier for them to replace it "in reserve" than to diagnose a problem.

    I do not quite understand what you are saying here (@artbi) about the sentiment to the number ... it's some fancy topics ...

    This is something that Orange probably even allows the user to set his phone number (when buying a prepaid) or set 2 phone number on 1 sim card.

    That's all, it's an activity on the network and not on the SIM card. The SIM card can be in a safe, does not have to be connected at all, etc. ... no one checks 'old' lost, damaged etc. ... in large companies, customers of the network have several in stock, activated at a distance by half the world ... number SIM everyone gets along, I assume that it must exist earlier, because behind it stand keys, encryption, etc ...

    Services that can be invented on the web are almost limitless (eg business once liked t-mobile the same number in two cards, hand-held and built-in to the car, but this is not the topic)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the process of replacing a truncated micro SIM card with a new one from Orange, specifically for prepaid users. Several participants share their experiences, indicating that while some have successfully exchanged their old SIM cards for free, others express skepticism about the likelihood of a free replacement due to potential operator policies regarding user-caused damage. One user detailed their experience of exchanging a prepaid SIM at an Orange store, where the old card was replaced without charge and the new card was activated within 30 minutes. The conversation also touches on the ease of SIM card replacement in large networks and the lack of stringent checks on the condition of old cards.
