12/25/2023 0 Comments My little sim worldExcept for maybe Australia, Canada has the HIGHEST charges for a given level of service in the world. I go with another carrier, etf plus new contract and all carriers have the same ridiculous data rates, and Bell might not give me my old number which I have had for 11 years. If I get a new phone through Bell, they force me into a new contract, charging $50 more a month for what I have now (apparently we have moved back to 2003 when data rates were sky high). I already pay a minimum of $95 a month with tax for voice, text, and 6 gb data. To copy the data from the sim to a micrsim, Bell wanted $10 for the card and $35 to activate it. Made the HUGE mistake of getting a Samsung Galaxy S2, this pos phone has been full of problems since four days after the warranty expired. One year left on my contract through Bell Mobility. Happy conversions, and enjoy your iPhone, iPad, Android, or whatever else you use. If you are trying to use a cell providers card other than what your iPhone was intended for your iPhone needs to be unlocked, there is no exception to that rule. You will know within about 30 seconds whether the conversion worked or not because the iPhone will immediately start searching for the network and connect to it. Pop the converted SIM into the iPhone 4, 4S, etc, and try it out.File down remaining rough or tiny edges so that the converted SIM fits into the micro SIM slot, it’s better to have a tight fit than a loose fit. The three metal contact points at the tip of the SIM card are the most important, seen below labeled as “1 2 3”, you want these to be in the same position on the converted SIM as they would be on a real micro SIM.With some old sim cards you may need to trim some of the side metal, just don’t go beyond the first inner black line on the metal contact. Trim the plastic away from the SIM card to match the size found on a Micro SIM, preserving the metal region.This is easy if you have a micro SIM to follow as a guide, but if you don’t and you’re just winging it the Solutios walkthrough found here is about as good as you’ll find online, but remember to emphasize the golden contacts. There isn’t much to say in terms of instruction other than the obvious, cut the SIM down to micro SIM size. Precise measurements are hard to provide because of that and it’s best to have a real micro sim card to compare to. A ruler and a pencil may be helpful for some too, but I’ve noticed many SIM cards have different sizes of plastic around different portions of the card, the only thing that is really consistent are the location of the metal contact points. My toolkit looked like the picture below, and I ended up getting away with using only the scissors and a nail file to complete the entire process.
