16 yrs. No Sim retrieval done. The sim is as white as snow. Had to use a scissors to cut the sim to a micro size.
That means you use a either a non andiod phone or if you do, your phone may have 4g but you are not enjoying its potentials as your sim is 3g.
You need to upgrade your sim card.

The sim is only for calls and messages.

Airtel sim is as old as Econet in Nigeria, same with 9mobile, as old as Etisalat.
Mtn is 17yrs
Did only one sim swap for the etisalat because I don't like the rough edges from cutting to micro then nano size.
That Airtel and Mtn, I can't recollect how many times I've retrieved it, I once retrieve the Airtel(Celtel) twice within a day. I misplaced my phone same day I did a retrieval, I got another sim pack, called the customer care, the lady was like the retrieval has been done thinking I wasn't aware, I just told her that I knew, gave her the details and the lady felt pity for me.
Anytime I called Airtel then, they call my name before I even introduce myself.

Re: How Old Is Your Sim Card Today? by Magnumproperty: 3:55pm On Mar 23, 2022
Bought my first mtn line for close to N49,000 08032. when they use disk casing. Second line I bought but never use was glo, I dashed my uncle and that was 2004. The sane year I bought mtn. Fast-forward to 2008 I embraced Airtel. The current Airtel line now is 14 yrs. The glo I despised so much 18 years ago is what I am using as second sim now

I’ve never lost mine too since 2009, but I’ve upgraded it to 4G in 2020.

That's good, some of us are not that lucky

If you are using an old SIM and haven't upgraded it, you can't access 4G services.
