How the size of SIM cards has evolved over the years…DiGi starts offering FREE Nano SIMs on Wednesday, 26 September 2012, when customers sign up for DG Smart Plan™ or DG Postpaid™ Plus.

The size of SIM or Subscriber Identification Module has evolved over the years as the size and design of mobile devices changed. The first SIM card introduced was in the same size as a credit card. It was further reduced with the same thickness to a Mini SIM. It eventually evolved to the next version called the Micro SIM with dimensions of 15 mm x 12 mm. The Nano SIM was subsequently introduced in early 2012 with dimensions of 12.3 mm x 8.8 mm x 0.7 mm, which is 15% thinner than its predecessor. The Nano SIMs can be inserted into adaptors for use with devices that utilise Mini SIMs or Micro SIMs.

The full list of participating DiGi outlets nationwide will be published tomorrow (25 September) on www.digi.com.my/nanosim
