I am a user with a 12 year old SIM card which recently 'broke' and no
longer registers in any mobile phone. 'Insert SIM' is the only
response on inserting it into a mobile phone.

My problem is that I have 100 very important telephone numbers stored
on it.  T-mobile has order a new SIM card therefore my old one has
been de-activated.  I have no idea what can be done to retrieve this
information.  I have been told that as long as the SIM is intact, the
information should still be on it - regardless of it having been
de-activated.

Would appreciate any suggestions/solutions. Are there perhaps any
companies in London, UK which could deal with this problem? I have
tried the Carphone Warehouse, but they couldn't read it with their
machines.

To make matters worse, my SIM was issued when you had to cut them out
yourself, and so is not a regular shape.

Thank you.
