My current mobile provider won’t provide me with a Nano SIM and I’m in contract until end 2015. Would like to use a new handset which takes smaller SIM. Just how easy is it to cut a micro down to a nano?

easy, did it the other day (from a micro sim). Get a template – it will show you how to cut it (I didn’t actually use the template in the end as it’s pretty obvious where to cut).

Or you can get a SIM cutter off Amazon for not much money…

Easy, just Google for a guide… I used a sharp knife pushed firmly down to take the sides off.

Also found it useful to sand the back down gently to make the sim a bit thinner for easy fitting into a smartphone

I got a cutter from ebay a while back it’s a bit like a hole punch, it was only a couple of quid.

What sort of lame-ass provider are you with who won’t give you a SIM? Scrooge McDuck Telecoms?

Pair of scissors, straight through the middle, call your service provider and tell them your SIM doesn’t work.

“i was more impressed by the contents of my handkerchief the last time i blew my nose”

if my memory serves…

Important point here – nano sims are also thinner.

Doesn’t matter in some phones, in others you’ll bend the contacts so a real nano sim will be dodgy.

I thought it was more a case of ‘ Thank god, I thought I’d landed sausage side…..’

..in others you’ll bend the contacts..

I wondered why Andrew Akers, Annie, and Amelie all looked a bit bent after I forced mine in. They must be the first few contacts on my SIM I imagine..
