MicroSim Question

I just gave my mom my old phone which requires micro sim but she only has a normal sim. Can I just grab a new rogers micro sim off craigslist or whatever and get rogers to transfer everything over and activate it? I dont want to spend 40 bucks in store buying one. Thanks

Yes. Costs $10 from the Rogers store and they can transfer everything on the phone for free and activate it.

Or you could be a peasant and cut it yourself but I don't really recommend it. I tried it and my signal was iffy at times...

Do not cut it. Spend the $10 for a new one.

Your carrier should just give you a new sim for free... that's what they do here at least. It would be stupid not to
