Hi, I have a standard size Hotlink SIM card that I have maintained for the past 10 years or more.

I am planning to upgrade the standard size SIM card to a 3in1/nano version because my old Nokia phone is dying.

So, I am wondering if the SIM upgrade would cancel the old Hotlink plan I had since 10 years ago?

Thanks.

Just go to Maxis, they will change the SIM for you or perhaps they will punch the card to nano size.

Yeah... Just go to nearest maxis.

They will most likely give you new card. As I recall, old sim cards (mini sim, i think) have bigger chips and may not be possible to cut to nano size without chipping (pardon the pun) the chip.

So, it would not affect my old plan right?

Nope, changing SIM wouldn't affect your plan

Will not affect. I am not Maxis but Celcom. My package was ancient package no longer offered. Went to change the SIM and everything stays the same. Celcom gave me new SIM.
