  Yes, need to pay, go to the big branch one. $18, before gst and all that, they credit in your singtel bill.

  You can transfer your big type sim card to the microsim, also same price. I don't mean multisim ar.

  first I think two times no need - for normal sim subsequently it will be charged for microsim, what you can do if you don't want to pay $18 is to get normal sim then go those handphone shops ask them cut for you

  I heard microsim is just a standard sim cut with a pair of scissors.

  If its true and they ask you to pay, you can cut it and see if it works first, before you actually pay.

  if u are on contract, they will be more than happy if u give up your line. 

  (u pay them a big penalty sum) 

   

   

  u dont have to threaten them bcos they are definitely the upperhand

  If you want to cut your normal sim card to a microsim, make sure its the 2nd generation type that has a smaller profile than the 1st generation. Because if you cut the really big old ones, it'll eat into the contacts. Like I learnt, and had no choice but to get an authentic microsim card, after I ruined the original one.

  You get the new SIM card on the spot, worst case is take 2 hours to activate. Mine took half an hour.

  2 mins, if they no need to verify tt the sim card is faulty.

   

  they will give u a new sim card and update the details in the system

  but the new sim card will oni be activated a few hours later

  You can call 1688 - their customer service hotline to lodge a report about your spoilt sim card. This will be placed into the system and when you go down, they will not do much checking, just give the card and go. When you go to the Hello shop - just head to their customer service counter at the entrance and inform them about it - they can do the replacement there - no need take queue number or anything.

  Also hor, if you have any contacts that are stored in your simcard - back them up in your phone first. The new sim card is - empty-
