[Closed] Cutting a SIM card down to Nano size

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.

Important point here - nano sims are also [b]thinner[/b].

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..
