How To Convert A Mini-SIM Into A Micro-SIM For iPhone 4
As you may have known by now, Apple is offering SIM-free and unlocked units of iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 to customers in UK, France and Canada. Since these iPhones are not locked to a carrier, users can sign up with any compatible carrier of their choice. However, unlike iPhone...

"12cm x 15cm is the standard dimension of a micro-SIM" Think you mean mm :-)
-
Yup :) Thanks for pointing it out.
-
God what a pain in the arse all that is, still there must be reasons for it..

According to Steve Jobs at his keynote speech they needed the space for the exrta hardware
-
Yeah fair enough, still a pain tho for me to buy a phone on pay n go, then have to cut my sim to size, or wait for bloody networks to get them, ah well will get there in the end.
-
NO its 11mm x 15mm, 1CM= 10mm
-
Check on e-bay, there is special tool to cut mini-sim to micro-sim. all you have to do is insert the mini-sim in the cutter, press it down and you now have a micro-sim.
-
Shall take a look thanks
-
i wont need this but will pass the information on to my friends who might need it
-
The eBay ones I saw are only available ore order anyway, til after the iPhones release, who wants to wait that long? Was hoping to get a cutter before the 24/6 not after lol
-
Checked out the tool on ebay. Looks very easy to use, and would save a lot of time.

This works with any GSM carrier's sim card right?
-
they demonstrated using bsnl sim.....means it came from india!!!
-
forgive my iggnorance, I was led to believe that a micro sim was superior to a regular sim, and this is why Apple are using them now??
Can any one shed any light on this? Is it just a change in sim size or is there a genuine improvement using a micro sim as opposed to a trimmed to fit regular sim?
Tks. -
What if I just need a tray to fit the new micro sim in an mini slim slot? I need just the opposite as my ATT phone will come with the new SIM in place. But i would like to use my jailbroken 3GS for tethering still.
-
You need a Micro-SIM adaptor. You can probably buy one on eBay.
-
IS IT 11MM OR 12MM
-
As I have noticed there seems to be a small difference between sim and microsim. The chip area (golden part) of the sim looks to be slightly bigger than the microsim, so would it be right to assume that the contact parts in the iPhone 4 would be also different? Will then the normal sims work in the new iPhone?
-
Good point, i'm not convinced that trimming down my regular sim is going to be as good as using a dedicated micro-sim card, i think theres a reason for the gold part to be slightly diff..
-
hahaha such a niece post
-
Ok. So I trimmed my simm to work in my IPAD and now I keep getting messages that read, "Matthew Verbin, It's 3:00." What the he!! does that mean?!!
-
-
Since people are receiving their IPhone 4's has anybody triend trimming their sim? If so, did it work
-
PLEASE, iPad and iPhone are difference.
Please careful -
I have modified using this way...

i tried and it didn't

I removed the sim card and reinserted and it did not fix the antenna problem, however I noticed 2 indentation on the SIM card. Please look at pic. Does everybody have these 2 indentation on their SIM card and is there a function associated with it?

Hi all, There are a couple of different sims. Carphone Warehouse use the old type that you can see at the top of this page. as you look at the sim thats been cut further down the page you will see there is a difference between the top normal sim and the one thats been cut.
I have a Carphone Warehouse contract and have cut two of there sims. These do not work on the Iphone 4. If you have a o2 direct contract and have a sim that looks like the the one thats been cut you will have no problems as I have also tested this on a PAYG sim.Please please check your sim before you ut as this cost me £30 to get the two replacement sims I cut.
Carphone warehouse are not supplying the new micro sims also as O2 are forcing them to put al new contracts directly through them. This means you are knackered if you are with them on contract.
Hope this helps and saves you all the costly lesson I have done....
Thanks
