Cut Down a Regular Sim Card into a Micro Sim Card to Fit the iPhone 4 / 4S or iPad

[Kerwindavisdotcom]

Active go phone data on iPhone 4

[irockchomom]

i cut it too small.. i'm fucked.

[diversity9125]

So if I get a Bell iPhone 4 and I have a fido sim card, will it work?

[lavadr]

@diversity9125 Unfortunately not, it will only work with the same carrier, unless your phone is unlocked. Cheers!

[diversity9125]

Was that iPhone locked or unlocked?

[lavadr]

@diversity9125 it was locked to Fido

[Sammie1363]

YES IT WORKED! im so happy right now ! :D

[lavadr]

@Sammie1363 Great! Enjoy!

[Skatsk]

Failed miserably.

[lavadr]

@Skatsk At least you tried. Now get a new one! :D

[Skatsk]

@lavadr Luckily it worked in my old phone despite my failed attempt. Getting a real micro sim tomorrow. Nice guide though, seems like lots of other people have succeeded ;)

[lavadr]

@Skatsk Alright that's good then. Thank you! Enjoy your day

[aussiebro2]

im about to try this haha gonna just cut it from how his looks on the screen

[loflo999]

It worked thanks to you and Youtube.

[lavadr]

@loflo999 No problemo :) Subscribe/check my channel if you want to help back!

[bloodmachine1000]

[iiLoveFries]

8 people probably messed up on the Sim Card.

[almostskater123ful]

[plaugedmonkey]

F**KING SCORE MAN ! did not think this was going to work but ........ SHATING !!!! ooh yeahh :D just hope i'll be able to get it back out !!!

[lavadr]

@plaugedmonkey Haha nice, that's what I was afraid at first, but everything should go smoothly! Cheers!

[lavadr]

@laranjinha80 No problemo! If you have some more spare time, check out my channel anf feel free to subscribe! Cheers

[2vikings2]

wtf mine still says no sim

[lavadr]

@2vikings2 Try it again, reboot your device. If it doesn't work, make sure your sim card is activated. If it still doesn't work, go buy another one :(

[syrupslep]

fast and easy!

[lavadr]

@syrupslep Indeed! Thanks for listening

[Buzzybros]

Ecq ça marche avec n'importe quelle sim fido? Meme si la sim card que j'ai ne vient pas d'un telephone intelligent?

[lavadr]

@Buzzybros Ça devrait marcher sans problème! Attention de ne pas aller utiliser l'internet quand tu n'es pas sur le Wi-Fi puisque ça risque de te couter cher. Salut!

[Buzzybros]

@lavadr Merci! Connais tu un moyen de bloquer l'internet non Wi-Fi sur le iphone 4?

[BasementFlow]

@Buzzybros garoche une roche dessus.

[lavadr]

@Buzzybros Ehmm, tu peux aller dans "Settings", General, Network, et tu met "Cellular Data à OFF. Salut!

[RUSHWAYC]

LoL. Dude I think that I messed up xD Do we need to activate sim card before putting it into iPad? (BTW this works for iPad 2 right? xD)

[lavadr]

@RUSHWAYC Hey! Yes this works for iPad 2! Yes your sim card needs to work before it gets some signal. If it worked before, it should work just fine in the iPad 2! Cheers

[RUSHWAYC]

@lavadr xD I bough a new sim card and I didn't activated it xD Bah I'll just buy another one :D Thank you :)

[lavadr]

@RUSHWAYC You can activate it with your carrier even if it's cut down.

[RUSHWAYC]

@lavadr I activated, but my iPad 2 still doesen't detects it. So I will just stay... SIMless xD

[lavadr]

@RUSHWAYC Weird! Get one at your local wireless provider.

[MSUBear42]

[RDProdigyy]

Niceee, broke my sim card. haha

[GeorgieeBabbieeX]

Don't bother watching this, I guessed and it worked :L just dont cut the actual gold sim bit:L thats when you're fucked.

[sigge951]

damn i fucked my sim card

[lavadr]

@sigge951 :/ Get a new one for 15-20$. I guess it was worth the try anyway...

[sigge951]

@lavadr yeah was my fault i wasnt careful enough ;p gotta buy a new sim anyways

[lavadr]

@sigge951 At least you're 100% sure the new sim will work. Anyway, if you have some spare time check out my channel and feel free to subscribe! Cheers

[NIBIR98]

@sigge95 "i fucked my sim card"(!) sounds scary

[kaldzzz]

@sigge951 get a free one from the apple store! i just picked up 3 from rogers, telus and bell today for free to use on my iphone, am planning to drop my fido plan and just use a 3g data plan on once i get my ipad sim cards activated somehow without an ipad lol

[Metadeth1997]

thanks man, really appreciate this ;) Now I can finally use my iPhone 4s fully!

[lavadr]

@Metadeth1997 No problemo! If you have some more spare time, check out my channel and feel free to subscribe! Cheers!

[TheDeAnO0o]

i bought an iphone 4s and i will have to cut my sim down. do you have to jailbreak your iphone before its accepts the cut down sim or are you good to go after you cut the sim??

[lavadr]

@TheDeAnO0o You're just good to go! No modification required!

[TheDeAnO0o]

@lavadr ok thanks! :)

[ncs93]

@lavadr does the orientation of the sim card matter?

[lavadr]

@ncs93 I'm not sure. Good question. But I would simply try to cut it so it's exactly on the same side. My guess would be that it doesn't matter.

[moginabox]

Thank you so much. I was able to use the Sim card from my Galaxy SII and trim it down for my iPhone 4S. Instead of outlining it with a cutter, I just trace cut it by aligning the micro-chip against the sim chip. Your video was very helpful!

[lavadr]

@moginabox Great to hear that :P Ifyou have some more spare time, check out my channel and feel free to subscribe! Enjoy your new 4S!

[poser077]

i clicked on this vid to show me how to make one not borrow and outline that shit, n e 1 can do dat.... FAIL!!!

[lavadr]

@poser077 If you were smart enough, like @Terminus92, you would have though of using the Micro Sim Tray as a template. You would already be done by now.

[Terminus92]

lol im surprised it worked i cut it so poorly

[lavadr]

@Terminus92 As long as the connectors touch the sim card it will work! You can even put back a micro sim card in older phones. As long as it holds up the slot, it will work. Cheers!

[JerseyFlipah]

worked!!! WERRRRD UP SON!

[lavadr]

@JerseyFlipah Yeaaah! Good job

[Terminus92]

it looks easy but i dont wanna fuck it up ): what happens if i dont have a micro sim to borrow ):

[lavadr]

@Terminus92 You should be able to do it! Get a template online. Search for a micro sim card template in real size. Or the dimensions of a micro sim card online

[Terminus92]

@lavadr will the micro sim tray work as a template?

[lavadr]

@Terminus92 Oh yes, very smart Idea! Even better

[airsoftwarrier47]

My computer is also broken

[airsoftwarrier47]

I mean the service

[airsoftwarrier47]

How much will I have to pay and sorry I didn't mean free service

[lavadr]

@airsoftwarrier47 A sim card is about 5-20$. Call your service provider for information. Or go on their website. AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc. I'm in Canada, I don't have the same plans/prices as you.

[airsoftwarrier47]

Is this like a phone service that I have to pay for

[lavadr]

@airsoftwarrier47 Yes, there is no such things as free phone service...

[airsoftwarrier47]

Where do I buy this

[lavadr]

@airsoftwarrier47 At your carrier. You might want to do some research on weather you need the Sim card or not depending on your carrier. Also, your iPhone will most likely be locked to it's carrier. Call your mobile network provider.

[airsoftwarrier47]

I am sorry I'm texting you from my ipad2 what I ment to say was what sim r u using

[lavadr]

@airsoftwarrier47 I now have a Micro Sim card for my iPhone 4S. That card was given to my at the apple store for my carrier: Fido which is a GSM network.

[airsoftwarrier47]

What is the sim card you are you sing

[lavadr]

@airsoftwarrier47 I'm with Fido, in Canada

[airsoftwarrier47]

Can I do this with a cricket sim card

[lavadr]

@airsoftwarrier47 From what I can read, Cricked doesn't have any Sim card since it's running on CDMA. You need to get a Verizon iPhone flashed to work on Cricket.

[lavadr]

@Anonymous32000 I guess it was worth the shot? lol

[CardinalSergeant]

i did it but it didnt work coz i went a bit crazy and now i lost all my contacts so i hate you

[lavadr]

@CardinalSergeant :) You can put it back in a regular phone and save contacts.

[Jeshuamorales]

Great video, smart way to do it... Thanks.

[lavadr]

@Jeshuamorales Thanks to you for watching. Good to hear it helpd you out! Cheers!

[Samswifey101]

My brother did it, it worked

[lavadr]

@Samswifey101 Nice shot!

[hotboyme]

I think this only work for unlock iphone if you have att contract phone this does not work.

[lavadr]

@hotboyme No no, it does work for any iPhone. Mine was locked to Fido. I cut-down my Regular Fido Sim card into a Micro Fido sim card. It's the same card, now it just works with my new iPhone 4 :)

[hotboyme]

@lavadr does it work if I use cut my regular att sim card and put into the iphone my card already have service, I heard the iphone is now lock into fido network happen to unlock phone. I know u can also use prepaid sim. Please answere my first question my iphone4 att contract phone but I no have contract , so can I use the regular att sim card with service or new sim?

[lavadr]

@hotboyme Your phone is locked, meaning it will only accept sim cards from AT&T. You can use ANY sim card from AT&T as long as they have service on them. Your phone will stay locked to AT&T. So if you cut down your card which has service or pre-payed, you can insert it into your new iPhone 4

[katrineok]

I DID IT, IT DIDNT WORK! AND NOW I DONT GET MY "SIMCARD POCKET" OUT!! ITS STUCK!! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO????!! HELP:(

[lavadr]

@katrineok Press harder, it should work at some point. I hope you didn'T cut your sim card too small :S

[MissSingh10]

[lavadr]

@MissSingh10 No, unfortunately you will need another Regular sized Sim card. Thanks for watching! Check out my channel!

[101PcTech]

@MissSingh10 Theres adapter to put it back to a regular form sim card

[Obessediphonewanter3]

does this process work for the white iPhone 4 too ? every video I see there's always a black iPhone

[lavadr]

@Obessediphonewanter3 Yes the white iPhone would work just as fine because it's exactly the same hardware except the color. Cheers!
