Learn how to crop a sim card

All the lucky owners of the iPhone 4, if not warned, faced a problem when the old Simka did not want to be put in the slot. By this I will remind, just in case, what sim card in the iPhone 4S. This microsymmetry (much smaller in size usual). Now let's see how this problem can be solved.

Just want to all calm that there is no need to panic because of this. You can always crop the SIM card yourself. After all, in fact - microsymbol is a reduced standard plastic card due to plastic. The plate with metal contacts remains the same. The principle of work is the same, that is, no change, other than size. And if so, then the logical question arises as to how to trim the SIM card with your own hands and at home? With pleasure I will answer this question, and I will not just answer, but also write a detailed instruction, thanks to which you will understand the essence and be able to do this work yourself.

So, in order to trim the SIM card, we need to arm ourselves with the very SIM card of the standard we are familiar with, a ruler with scissors, preferably very sharp, and some writing object, such as a pencil or pen. If you have prepared all this, then you can begin the operation.

We take our patient in the form of a sim card and put it in such a way that the contact group looks at us, and the oblique cut of plastic is in the lower right corner. Now take the ruler and measure 12 and 15 millimeters, after which we draw a rectangle on our simka so that the contact group is clearly centered. To do this, use the ruler to indent the left edge of the sim card 1.85 millimeters, and from the top 1.4 millimeter. Now take the scissors and carefully cut out the rectangle you drew on the sim card. We perform this procedure extremely carefully and carefully, as you will have only one chance to properly trim the sim card. When you cut plastic, be sure to hold the plate with contact groups in front of your eyes, so that you do not accidentally hook it, because if this happens, the card will become unusable.

After you cut off all the excess, cut the corner of the plastic in the corner where it was in the old version. And the distance from the blunt upper corner of the new sim card should be 2.5 millimeters to the supposed straight bottom edge of our sim card.

The next step in this procedure will be a communication check. Place the fruit of your labors on the device's receiver. If you do not succeed, you'll have to cut it a little more to the right size. So, the SIM card is inserted into the phone, and it starts searching for the network. If you did everything right - you will see an inscription or logo of your network.

There is another way to crop a sim card. This is done by a specially designed tool. If you do not have it or you do not want to spend your money on it for the sake of one SIM card, you can go to the nearest cellular phone and ask for your wish there. As a rule, such a procedure is worth a penny, and even at all you will do everything for free. If you are not confident in your abilities and are afraid to spoil your Simka with a wrong pruning, then this option, as best as possible, will solve your problem.
