I used the letter one, you should use the one according to what kind of paper you are printing on. Be sure to set it to print "actual size" in the print settings.
There are many other templates available.
Disclaimer: I assume no liability if you doink it up, so perform at your own risk! Worst case is you're back to having to acquire a new SIM & can't use your old phone til then.
If you are not sure about the SIM card sizes for your models, this site looks like a pretty good way to ascertain SIM card sizes for many different models: www.devicespec... But, I can't vouch for their accuracy.

I like how precise this guy is. Some others just wing it and make cards that wobble in the tray, i'm not fond of that.

@oasisbeyond 5 жыл бұрын

You don't need a template, just cut the corner in an angle and the rest cut it with scissors real close, use sand paper if you have and slide the sides on it on a flat surface, should work, just did it with 2 cards... HAPPY!

@octavianr526 3 жыл бұрын

However, the card remains at its G technology as it was released. Should you use it in a newer phone, able to connect in a superior G, that phone will not connect upper then the card's G. Ex: card 3G, phone capable 4G results phone will connect only to 3G

I wanted to make a old micro simcard a Nano simcard. I've used a plastic micro simcard and where you can see like the layout for a nano simcard. So I've used a needle for it to make the lines for it. I've cut it with a regular scissor. But unfortunatly it didn't work due to the simcard it was too old and not compatible for the new phone. So I've placed the simcard into the micro simcard plastic layout and then back to my older phone and luckily it worked again. So in summary I had to purchase a new simcard for it :/

That sim was I think from the first genaration of sim cards,had it since I was grade six torn between cutting it or not,btw also I already cut it to micro sim pretty works but then nano was so smaller it would cut almost 1/4 of the sim

@grokshop 6 жыл бұрын

Sounds like you started with a mini-SIM, cut to micro-SIM & now need a nano-sized SIM? I've never tried that before. The actual contacts should still work, so that shouldn't be an issue. Some newer devices run the newer SIMs on 1.8v while the older ones can be 5 or 3.3v. If it requires a higher voltage, but only gets a lower voltage - it just won't work, but that can't kill your device. The biggest concern I would have is getting loose particles inside the phone which you can't easily get out. So if you cut it & the contacts are frayed or something, I would ditch it. Also make sure you can correctly orient it after all that cutting. But other than those caveats, it could still work & if it doesn't you're back where you started - just needing a new SIM card.

@grokshop 6 жыл бұрын

According to www.devicespecifications.com, the GAP has a micro-sim & the s9 takes a nano sim. So, if that is correct, then this procedure would work for you.

Hey Space Cosmo... iPhone 5 series was the first iPhone gen to use the nano-SIM format. Therefore if you have a micro-SIM & need that SIM to operate on an iPhone 5s, this procedure can definitely work for you. :O)
