    the thing that i actually like most from this video is that u not just cut ur sim card, you also show us that works fine (at least for you). I think that bring more confidence to the people who wanna try it.
    I personally have to do it if I want to use the iphone 5 cuz in my country there isn't nano sims yet in any carrier, but I'm really scared of screw up my sim card (it doesn't matter if is cheap or not, that's not the point), even though this method seems simpler and "secure" so thank you

  • @JustinTse
    @JustinTse  12 лет назад

    As long as the metal connectors line up. You can cut it

    Thank you very much for posting this how-to video, along with the link to the template. My girlfriend just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5, and we completed the SIM card modification in under 5 minutes by following your instructions.

    Hey, thanks for the video. Btw can we cut a regular sim card into nano sim using this method?

    If it didn't work for you, you either 1) fucked up the execution, or 2) inserted the card incorrectly. I just cut my micro sim card down to a nano sim card, without a template, a sandpaper, or sharp blades. Simply cut out the white plastic close along the edges, using the cardholder as guidance. When I put the sim card into the cardholder, my iphone 5s still showed "No Sim." As it turned out, I inserted the card on the wrong side. After I reinserted the sim card, my phone worked.
    Before you jump into the conclusion that you've ruined your sim card, make sure you inserted the card correctly into the cardholder. If the phone still doesn't work, then it is because you cut the card wrong.

    its works, i did it with scissors then i used a nail filer to refine the side and edges, i didn't have to sand it to make it slimmer

      Larry Smooth Did you use the print sheet or did you just eyeball it?

    • @CoolManDudeRN
      @CoolManDudeRN 9 лет назад

      Kilted Celt Hey, i used the iphone 6 sim card tray as my template, while i was comparing the two, i noticed my sim card wouldn't fit in the tray even if i had cut off all the white exterior. I have the old sim card where the gold rectangle is slightly larger than the one in the video. I called and found out it is okay to cut off side-parts of the gold. So i measured it , cut off parts of the gold evenly on all sides , used a nail filer and then popped it in and it worked.

    • @CoolManDudeRN
      @CoolManDudeRN 9 лет назад

      Kilted Celt Maybe my overly sized sim card had something to do with me being with T mobile, i have been with them before they had Iphones.

      @kiltedcelt2702 9 лет назад

      Larry Smooth
      Oh cool, thanks a lot for the tips. My new phone is being delivered soon and I found out it requires a nano-sim and I have a micro, so go figure why I'm here lol. I knew that the whole sheet thing was a bit unnecessary. I'll follow your example instead.

      Since the iPhone 6 uses the same Nano Sim card as its iPhone 5 predecessor, it should work.

    @NagveraOfficial 10 лет назад

    Honestly most providers will replace the card into the new size and swap the number onto the new sim almost instantly at least over here in the UK so my suggestion go to the provider and ask for advice its not worth risking your card due to the high chance of damaging the card and loosing your number for good :) Hope this helps
