Sigh...

 

My son accidentally dropped his phone into the harbour near Te Papa last night. Obviously no chance of retrieving the phone so SIM card is gone.

 

Is it possible to get a new SIM and retrieve his old number?

Should be able to just do a SIM swap. It'll cost you $5 for the new SIM, and they can do the change in a shop or over the phone.




iPad Pro 11" + iPhone 15 Pro Max + 2degrees 4tw!

Thanks SaltyNZ wife has gone to grab a new SIM.

 

He has to replace his bank cards and drivers license too - downside of keeping them in your phone case I guess :(
