All the happy owners of iPhone 4, if they were not warned, ran into a problem when the old SIM did not want to put in the slot. For this I’ll remind you, just in case, which SIM card is in the iPhone 4S. This is a micro-image (much smaller in size than usual). Now let's see how this problem can be solved.
I want to reassure everyone right away that it’s not worth panicking because of this. You can always cut the SIM card yourself. Indeed, in fact - microsyme is a standard card reduced due to plastic. The plate with metal contacts remains the same. She works the same way, that is, there are no changes, except for size. And if so, then the logical question arises of how to cut a SIM card with your own hands and at home? I will be happy to answer this question, and not just answer, but also write detailed instructions, thanks to which you will understand the essence and be able to do this work yourself.
So, in order to crop the SIM card, we need to arm ourselves with the SIM card itself of the standard we are accustomed to, a ruler with scissors, preferably very sharp, and some writing object, such as a pencil or pen. If you have prepared all this, then you can start the operation.
We take our patient in the form of a SIM card and put it in such a way that the contact group is looking at us, and the oblique section of plastic is in the lower right corner. Now we take a ruler and measure out 12 and 15 millimeters, after which we draw a rectangle on our SIM card so that the contact group is clearly in the center. To do this, use the ruler to indent from the left edge of the SIM card 1.85 mm, and from the top 1.4 mm. Now we take scissors and very carefully cut out the rectangle that you drew on the SIM card. We perform this procedure extremely carefully and carefully, since you will have only one chance to correctly cut the SIM card. When cutting plastic, be sure to hold the plate with contact groups in front of your eyes so that you do not accidentally hook it, because if this happens, the card will become unusable.
After you cut off all the excess, cut off the corner of the plastic in the corner where it was in the old version. Moreover, the distance from the blunt upper corner of the new SIM card should be 2.5 millimeters to the estimated straight lower edge of our SIM card.
The next step in this procedure is to verify the connection. Put the fruit of your labors into the receiver of the device. If you do not succeed, you will have to cut it a little more to the desired size.
So, the SIM card is inserted into the phone, and it starts searching for the network. If you did everything correctly, you will see an inscription or logo of your network.
There is another way to crop a SIM card. This is done with a specially designed tool. If you don’t have one or don’t want to spend your money on it for one SIM card, you can go to the nearest mobile phone shop and ask them to fulfill your wish. As a rule, such a procedure costs a penny, or even they will do everything for free. If you are not confident in your abilities and are afraid to spoil your SIM card with incorrect pruning, then this option, as well as possible, will solve your problem.
