Today, most manufacturers of modern tablets, as well as smartphones that support 3G, trying to miniaturize, try to use micro-SIM cards more often. And of course, Apple with its iPhone 4 is rightfully considered to be the pioneer of this process. Mobile phone manufacturers from Korea really liked their initiative, and Samsung also soon switched to a new format.
Micro-SIM cards do not differ from ordinary ones (except for size, of course). And in the latter only extra parts of plastic are cut off, while the entire technical filling of the device remains untouched. The standard card has a size of 15X25 millimeters, and its micro-sample is 12X15 millimeters. Excess plastic is painlessly removed, and you get a sample of the size you need. But how to make micro SIM cards out of the ordinary?
You just need to contact the operator
Yes Yes. Do not reinvent the wheel. Do not puzzle over what and how to cut. Almost all mobile operators support this technology, and you can simply contact them and ask to replace one card with another. Most importantly, after such an exchange, the previous number and tariff will remain fixed to you. However, not every owner of such a device will go to the mobile phone departments to ask for a micro-SIM card. Or maybe it's just our curious nature. I want to try and do everything myself. Moreover, a micro-SIM card, the price of which is not important (it is given to you free of charge when connected to a particular operator), in case of damage will not cause much grief. In order to get micro from a big card, you need to have a special device that cuts off the excess strictly along a certain contour. But this is all only when your task is to put the matter of creating small SIM cards on the stream. If there is no such task, then you can trim the excess yourself, using the most basic devices.
Only paper and scissors
You need a one-to-one micro-sim template on paper. Next, you must clearly follow the instructions below. If you make a mistake, you will have to be puzzled by the question of where to get the micro-SIM card, since the device with microcircuits will be damaged. Sharp scissors will greatly contribute to the quality result. It is also important to crop the card, as they say, with a margin so that you can then fit it to the required size.
Sequencing
- Fix your SIM card on the template (exactly the side on which there are no contacts) with glue. Keep in mind that the position of the contacts on different cards is different, so focus primarily on the area of the microcircuit, and not on the edges of the device.
- Using a ruler and a sharp knife or a sharpened pencil, carefully and accurately draw a cut line on the card.
- Cut off excess plastic with scissors as carefully as possible. Remember that under no circumstances should the line along which the cutting tool is stepped onto the metal surface of the microcircuit.
- Finally, you can easily erase the burrs at the edges with sandpaper . That's all. Now you can fully use your micro-SIM card.
