How to get a micro-SIM from BSNL?

[Sushubh]

It sounds like a herculean task to me. But how does one get a replacement micro-SIM from BSNL? A friend is buying the Moto E for his dad.

So in normal circumstances, his dad would have to go to the exchange himself and get the thing processed? No wonder I do not find a lot of people with BSNL mobile connections.

Yes..

He is reconsidering his decision to purchase the Moto E now.

Coz of the microsim issue?

Pretty sure all sim cards can be cut into microsim.

Even older ones?

I have seen people getting their 'Orange'SIM cut to MicroSIM.

I got my SIM cut but the shopkeeper refused to cut sisinlaw's sim saying that the chip was too close to the end and it would not work after cutting.

one shopkeeper refused to cut my old sim due to the same reason.. but i got it cut from another shopkeeper and it is working fine with moto g

Even older ones?

Yes it works for all the sim no matter how old it is. It's just that the bsnl 3g one which you cannot be sure of.

BSNL has different SIM designs for 2G and 3G?
