These instructions were clear and accurate. I followed them and successfully cut down a mini SIM to a nano SIM in a few minutes. I used 180 grit sandpaper to decrease the thickness of the SIM. It was also helpful in doing final adjustment to the width. In the end the new nano SIM fit in the carriage perfectly in all three dimensions. It wasn't as hard as I'd thought. Thanks for the great instructions!

So I bought a 3.8" phone several years ago, which used a mini-SIM. Then I bought a 4.7" phone, and that used a micro-SIM. Now I have a 5.96" phone coming soon, and it needs an even smaller nano-SIM. What's going on? Who keeps wanting to put smaller and smaller SIMs into phones that just get bigger and bigger? In a couple of years, am I going to buy a phone so big that I have to store it in a backpack, and they'll tell me I have to get a new atom-SIM the size of a needlepoint?

@falteot144

my theory is that one of the reasons why sims are getting smaller and smaller is to enable the phone manufacturers to accomodate more other fancy components to the smart phones. ie. the nano-sim enables extra space for more and more tiny electronic components to be added on the phone device.

@richardsmithson3973

Fal Teot i don't want to agree with you. Whether its nano or micro sim, the space accommodate in the mobile is just the same. Look at the tray for nano sim....they are as big as mini sim. For me it doesn't make any sense. The company is just doing something different so that the consumers will have something to talk about. They are all part of marketing mix strategy.

@nmanbamboo1980

Richard Smithson I agreed with Richard, Why make it smaller when the cellphones need smaller trays and sliders to insert the cards and moreover the sims always come in the default credit-card size holders. Then you get cellphones that take only one type of sim card.

@neverdoubtthat18

9 жыл бұрын

Holy crap! Thanks for the insight. Maybe the reason why the sim cards are getting smaller is because of the need of space for the new features. Since the older ones doesn't have much features in it that's why they don't require smaller sim. That's just my opinion I don't really know the reason behind it. But it seems like people are enjoying bigger screens, it's kind of like the "new thing".

Worked perfectly for me. I went from a Note 4 (micro Sim) to Nexus 6P (nano Sim). No problems at all. Thank you for this! I just used Scotch Precision scissors that I got from CVS and worked great. Was very easy to cut.

Fun little tutorial. I came to learn that i cut my sim card far too much, so the extra tape helped me out in making my simcard still stick and be useable. Worked flawlessly.

Watching this in 2015, trying to install my sim to my New OnePlus 2. Quite helpful, thanks Lue!

The process was extremely easy! I've already converted a Mini SIM to Micro SIM for an LG G4 and a Mini SIM to Nano SIM for a Samsung Galaxy A7. Thank you very much for your video, it helped a lot. Keep up the good work! I subbed!

Worked for me! Here's a tip: cut the card slightly too large, check it, and sand the edges with 80 grit sandpaper until it fits

Thank you for the well produced video! Just successfully converted a micro SIM to nano SIM for use in a ZTE tablet. Card was already active so this saved me a little bit of $. The key was sanding it down enough to slide into the slot☺

just wanted to say i followed your instructions AND IT WORKED! i didnt even have to sandpaper the back. my galaxy s9+ tray took the mini sim just like that. in forums everybody kept saying you should never cut the metal part but thats obviously wrong. my mini sim even looked way different from yours, it was oversized on all four sides, but its important to look for those grind marks that your phone leaves on the sim card. thats the important bit. i used one of those mini-micro-nano adapters as a guide. just left the nano part open and put it on top of the mini sim, then drew the nano-sim lines and cut it. again, watch for the marks. thats where your phone connects.

Worked with no problems. Didn't use the template. Had a nano sim to use as the template. Scored the sim with a razor and cut along marks with kitchen knife. Used sandpaper to thin the chip and round the corners. Appreciate the tutorial.

This is Gavinlovesdogs on my Brothers account. So I had a Micro-Sim Flip phone. I got a Nano Sim Phone. I was a bit scared to use my real sim, So I tried it with a in-active sim. I did the steps, (Without a template) and The old Number on the In-Active Sim popped up in the Settings. I was amazed. Thank you so much. Cheers, Gavin

One of the most useful guides I've ever watched here. Thanks man!

Totally cut my sim card using your guidelines. Didn't use a template or draw lines as I could tell where I needed to cut it. Did sand it down, popped it in the new device and it totally worked. Had I not seen your video, though, I never would have attempted it. Thanks!!!!

Three years ago this is the video that I first watched that made me sub :) still love the content

I just used *Norton SandWet Waterproof Super Fine 400 Grit* sandpaper to make my microSIM a nanoSIM. Very quick and painless and I daresay more precise than cutting. This SIM has followed me from phone to phone since it was a regular sized SIM in 2012!

With any other product than "Norton SandWet Waterproof Super Fine" it wouldn't have worked at all, that's for sure. Essentially vital information right there!

Works AWESOME on my new Nexus 6 that Verizon said couldn't be used on their network. I bought it off Ebay brand new still in box from a dealer who had sold over 1000 of these. Just took my old SIM, used your excellent template and instructions, cut it down, and wham, Verizon on the phone they said would not work. Verizon couldn't help, Motorola couldn't help, but you sir, did help me :-)

Articles and this video makes it a lot harder than it really is. I tested the procedure first on an extra micro SIM I had. I didn't use a template or anything. I basically just cut all the sides off as close to the metal edges as possible. Once done, I inserted it into my new phone...and it was detected! I then did the same thing to my own micro SIM and, again, it worked. Neither SIMs I cut even looked that great or anything, but it fits in and it works. Thank goodness too. If it hadn't, I would have lost usage of my phone for several days while a new nano SIM is shipped in.

Omg I just eyeballed it and it worked. Thank the Lord!!

Sitting here in 2021, and looking back, I would not have trusted myself to cut up a SIM card, but I still done it anyways, so much easier to just pop it out of the card today

I took your advice just to cut it as close to the gold part as I could, without cutting into it, and voila! works like a charm. Didn't bother with the paper, lines, etc. but I did use my kitchen scissors.

Just bought a One Plus 5T and had to cut my micro SIM into a nano SIM. Thanks to your video I was able to do it really quick. Great video! Thanks so much!

Not all cuts shown, bad Sandpaper trick, good Stencil, good Link for alt device, good Subscribed. Thank you for the video.

hey heyyyy i click on the link and it takes me to a page where the language seems different than english, where do i click to view that template

I didn't need a template or marker I just grabbed my scissors and cut to the metal bit and somehow it worked

Mine worked fine for a new Samsung J5! Thanks a lot. Was really nervous but got it lined up well on the template with a tiiiiiny bit of prestik and them put wide transparent tape over it cause I didn't have double sided. Used a scalpel to make initial guidelines, then pen, and when i cut I gave it a small ~0.7mm bit of excess width on all sides to be safe. Took the last bit of tape off the contact surface, gently neatened the sides with the scalpel to fit the nano bracket and didn't need to sand it thinner.

Holy shit. I just did it .. I even cut a piece of the gold part off .. and it worked RIGHT AWAY! .. Bought an S7 and had a Micro SIM that I cut into a Nano SIM. Thank you for this!!! Saved me $20

got mine cutted , Mini to Micro then to Nano don't need sanding , push slightly harder for it to go in.
