Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has changed a SIM to a micro SIM and how easy was the process if you do not have a micro SIM as a reference?

Thanks.

Pretty simple, but tedious if you have more then one to do. You can use this template as a guide.

Thanks! I'll give this a try.

I did find the cutter, but I didn't want to buy it only to use it once.

Thanks for all the help. I used the template provided and it works perfectly (at least so far).

I'm with Petro Mobility which doesn't provide micro sims.

Remind me again, what is the actual rationale and benefit of changing the size of an allready small and thin enough SIM? Especially at a time when phones are getting to be almost the size a pizza slice?

So you are forced to buy a new SIM.

It's all about MONEY

Apple stores give out free sims... Just show them you have an iPhone and they will give you one for free

I bought the cutter for $5. I'd rather spend $5 and use it once than spend nothing and accidentally break the SIM.

Then again, my bro broke his SIM with the cutter because he didn't align it correctly.

Nevermind lol
