While your observation may be intelligent, i dont believe that's the case because i was told to move all my contacts as all datas were deleted. |

Inasmuch as I don't see anything wrong in destroying your old Sim by yourself, I just feel you're passing a very wrong information to the public and while you may be doing that with the best intent at heart, I'm afraid you're doing that from a position of ignorance. The truth is once a sim is swapped (upgraded) the old serial number changes to that of the new sim card, the new sim card retains every information of the old sim (number, data balance and credit balance). Once a swap has been done and the new sim is active, the old sim is dead, I mean completely dead. This explains why you're always advised by the staff to backup your contacts and possibly text messages, because you're going to lose them after the swap. This means you can't access the contacts saved in the old sim card. You'd get an error message "sim registration failed" or "invalid Sim" or "emergency calls only" whenever you insert the old sim, depending on your phone. OP I appreciate your security consciousness but I feel you're raising a false alarm in this case. From your Monika, I assume you're a techie and hence you should know better. |

mabea:The OP clearly doesn't know how sim swap works, I understand his fears. He's informing the public from a position of ignorance. That's my problem. |

Omo forget that thing. I can guarantee you that swaps are only done at Airtel showrooms, registered Airtel dealer shops and Airtel self-care portal. So nobody is harvesting your data. Make una no fall maga O for road side fraudsters O. So noboy is harvesting your data.You can relax my bro |

TechCapon: When you buy swap your 3g sim to 4g , does the new sim retain the old number? And when people who have the old number call you will you be able to receive the call with the new sim? |
