Hm, I have a Bulgarian SIM card and according to this template I have to cut a bit from the chip from the top. What should I do? Instead cut a bit more from the bottom, I presume.
THANK YOU! I've just cutted my sim and it's working perfectly! I'm from Europe (Slovenia) so the chip of my sim card is not exactly the same as the one in the video but it still works perfectly!
p.s.: don't forget to import your contacts from your sim (for those who complain about no contacts)
I have a Gemplus sim and there is no plastic at the top. I know the real chip is in the center, not all the metallic part is important but... Should i follow the template and cut part of the top metallic thing or should i adjust it so the chip is in the center???
look people if you dont want to get fucked cut the sim a little bit larger than micro sim size and shave it down to the exact size with a nail file and just keep testing until you get it to fit into the tray
if i buy a used iphone ( off my mate ) who was on a contract with o2(UK) would it make a differance if i put in my cut up pay as you go one in? what woud i have to do? would it work??
Cool.. I've been thinking bout the getting the iPhone, but I want one unlocked.. I live in the UK and Apple sells em unlocked.. hmm.. on second thought, will this process work in the UK?
Thanks for this tutorial on cutting my sim card. I have done it twice now for myself and a friend and the template really helped!
To all those wondering about the song in the background, it is an acoustic version of Breaking Down by Dave James. He is mostly a songwriter/collaborator and has worked with Sheena Easton, Take That and Atomic Kitten.
Thanks for the link. It works perfectly ;) - My mini sim, now a micro sim, fits perfectly in the sim-holder, thanks to the accurate outlines on the template.
Hi, could someone explain why this is necessary?? Not wishing to be a dumbass, but probably am. I don't understand the need to do this??
I can just nip down to the local Phone Shop (UK) and get a "Three" Mobile Broadband for iPad sim for just £15 ($22) a month on a rolling month contract and get 10GB for my iPad. Why would I need to cut a regual Sim??
Someone enlighten me.... I am obviously missing a point here, and if it's going to save me money, then I'm all ears (well eyes actually!)
THANKS A LOT. AWESOME VIDEO ... just a tip to other viewers : even if u cut a lilttle bigger ... thats fine ... Filer will dothe job of fine tuning the size... but dont cut more !!!
@Pro999999999 : It isn't that uncommon, hitchhiker's thumb or distal hyperextensibility of the thumb is an inherited phenotype, and since the trait is recessive, you have to have inherited it from both your parents, though they may only be carriers. The condition is more of a curiosity than anything else, as there is no impairment or advantage to this, It apparently occurs in about 25% of people globally, though certain populations may have a lower or higher incidence, of course.
@Pro999999999 : As I said, it is a recessive trait so your parents must be carriers of the gene for hyperextensibility. That is, one of their two chromosome sets contain genes with the codes for making this, and one set contain "normal" thumb genes. Since the normal thumb genes are dominant, your parents do not show this characteristic, but has a 25% chance to get a child that has thumbs like this, a 50% chance of a child too being a carrier, and 25% chance of the not being a carrier.
@linuxlordc, it points to web-page where you can download template in different languages. Currently English, French, German and Spanish translations are available.
@Timilim85 It can be difficult because paper will interfere to make straight cut. So, if you want to become Guinness champion of fast cutting then u can cut without drawing :)
But for accurate cut I would suggest to draw lines on SIM card before cutting process.
@shadorius, as far as I know you can do this. The only problem can be to use original MicroSIM dedicated for iPAD with iPhone, because they block voice functionality on these iPAD microsims.
Hi there, Just wanted to thank you for the easily followed instructions, I would have had to waited till Tuesday to get my micro sim, but followed your instructions and it works beautifully! BTW, the sim I cut was an Orange UK sim.
what do I do if at the top there's no space left so if I cut following the line I will be cutting off a chunk of the metal bit? Amazing vid and template by the way!
what do I do if at the top there's no space left so if I cut following the line I will be cutting off a chunk of the metal bit? Amazing vid and template by the way!
@gabivisualart, this can happen with some SIM cards. I had similar issue with Gemplus-made card during my experiments. Good news is that only 6 central pins are matter in SIM cards. All others parts of metal pins are not necessary. As to chip - it is so small that you can't damage it.
@gabivisualart, Especially for you, I cut one Gemplus SIM card completely - for photo take a look at the same link where template is available. As you can see, a lot of space is available. The only sensitive parts are crystal of IC, wires, and connection points to pins.
