  1. Log into My3 
  2. Go to Plan
  3. Then SIM not activated

Frequently asked questions

Your number is shown when you log into My3 or the Three app. And if you’re a Pay Monthly customer, your number is shown at the top of your monthly bill. 

You can also find your number in your device settings. You can find steps for your device on our device support page.

SIM too small? A SIM adaptor can help. 

Check what size SIM you need then put your SIM into the adaptor. It can then go into your device SIM slot. And that’s it. 

There are 3 SIM sizes available: Standard, Micro, and Nano. We send out a Trio SIM giving you the choice of all 3 sizes – just press out the one you need.
