can i use my ipad sim card in atrix 4g? i have Unlimited plan with ipad
No. You have to go to the AT&T store and ask for a normal sim card.

Just bought this phone new from AT&T (no commitment pricing), and it should be here within the next few days. I'm wondering if the phone out of the box includes a compatible SIM card? I'm coming from an iPhone 4, so I can't just stick my micro SIM card in if it doesn't. Even if I get a micro SIM to SIM adapter, would I be able to access the appropriate HSPA+ network with that? Much thanks if you can point me in the right direction.
Once you get the phone go to att and ask to get a new one for the phone they won't charge you anything

Yes, AT&T always sends out a new SIM card with new phones. You can also ask for one at local AT&T store for free.

Oh, good to hear. I wonder why the sell one then (whoops, can't post links to AT&T's site yet) or why others have to buy adapters?
I came from iphone also, and was bummed to learn micro sim doesn't work in the s2. The phone will ship with a new regular sized sim inside. so if you dont need to use your iphone 4 anymore, or dont want to, call 611 from your iphone before you do anything with the s2 and it will walk you through getting the new sim activated.
I ordered a micro sim adapter and it works great. Kind of annoying that you can't get the adapter free from ATT. The micro sim works fine on hspa+ also. so if you want to swap back and forth you can, just know that ATT wont help you with this.

Oh, right. People like to switch back and forth between phones, but I thought the data services weren't compatible?
I drop my micro sim into my s2 and I get H+ up top and data speeds and call quality are the same... I could be wrong tho...
in my case I need to be able to use the iphone 4 on network for development.
H+ is defaulted because hspa+ uses the same towers as 3g and by assumption, most, if not all, 3g towers have been upgraded.
Call qualities aren't suppose to be any different.

Because sims aren't 'free'. They are given free as a courtesy under certain circumstances--eg new acts/upgs/swapping devices/defective sim..

To swap back and forth from one Rezound that I'm using to a spare Rezound, is all I have to do is swap the sim from one to the other??
that is correct
Via my HTC Rezound
According to Verizon that will brick the SIM card because the SIM is tied to the phone, the line the LTE phone is on, as well as the LTE system security, unlike GSM SIM cards which can be swapped around. When we bought my wife's rezound just changing the line it was on required a new card.
Also replacing any LTE phone with a 3G phone temporarily will kill the SIM card when you restart the LTE phone. I wanted to do this for kayaking, but no go.
You can of course put in a real GSM SIM card from another provider and then put the Verizon LTE card back in later. In this case Verizon doesn't "see" the phone on their network while you have the other card in place. When you put the LTE SIM back in it only looks like the phone has been off to Verizon
You'll get different answers from many Verizon emplyees because they are still learning the rules. Even the brochure the SIM comes on has a misstatement.
So I will need a new sim card for the second phone??
Sim
I switch my sim back and forth between my Rezound and Thunderbolt all the time. No problems works fine. I researched it your sim card can be used with any Verizon compatible device including tablets.
So you just swap cards, fire it up and you're good to go??
That's what I was hoping to do.
Correct. Just swap Sims. I do it all the time.

yeah, don't know who lied to you.
When I bought my rezound, I swapped the sims of my tbolt and rezound and both worked, wife took the sim out of her bolt and put it into the backup bolt and it worked fine. After I fixed her phone, put it back in her original bolt and it worked as well.
The only time you kill the sim is if you activate a 3g device on that line. That will deactivate the sim.

a vzw store probably told him that so they could keep charging him money for a sim card, lol
I have had my rezound replaced thru asurion and they sent me a replacement sim card also. I never even activated it I just took my old one and popped it in my replacement and turned it on no activation calls or nothing. So your sim should work just fine in swapping phones.
Switched from my rezound to a gnex to check out jellybean and see if it would fix my mobile data dropout issue, which it did. Now that new radios are out, I would like to try out the Rezound again. The gnex uses a micro sim, so I bought an adapter. But the Rezound won't see the sim. Does anyone else do this? And is there a trick?
Make sure the cut off corner in toward the bottom of the phone when you slide it in.

Test the sim in another mini-sim sized phone if you can. Sometimes the adapters have size issues and need to be played with a little before they fit properly and show the sim card

I figured it out before I read your post, but that was exactly it. Seems funny that the notch doesn't face in to me.

It is kind of a pot shot if you don't know which way it goes.
This sim adapter works great. Decent shipping time too, unlike the rest of the chinese crap.

For a free micro sim adapter, order a giffgaff sim below as it comes as a microsim inside a normal sim so you can either use the new sim or use it as a template to cut your old sim to size.
Order from below
I have a Motorola DROID RAZR XT912 which I was using with a sim card adapter but when I tried to remove it the sim adapter got stuck so I forced it out and think that something in that slot got bent now I can't insert a sim card in the slot. So what I want to know is that is there a way to repair the sim card slot? also if any one was in a similar situation like this one then please let me know if you were able to get it fixed. Thanks to everyone in advance.
I have this situation, and I am on PagePlus cellular, so it doesn't require me to have a SIM card, but I don't get 4G (I am on 3G right now), and it limits me from using Android Lollipop, as that requires you to have a SIM card to make calls/texts and use data. I don't know how to fix it though...

Every time I put in a sim card, it doesn't click in. I have tried with a T-Mobile SIM card that I cut, and that works (It clicks in place), but I don't want to risk messing it up, so I won't buy a full Verizon SIM card for the time being (I also don't want to mess up cutting it and cut it too large)

Well, I do have a backup phone (HTC Droid Incredible), but it is really slow and the voice quality sucks, so I am stuck with this for now.

Hi all, a couple random questions.
I spent the extra $30 on the LTE version on the off chance it would work with my Google Fi data only sim.
question is, i don't seem to have a sim slot, this looks like a micro sd slot to me. (the spot where a sim would go doesnt have a cut-out)
Am i missing something, or did i get the wifi only version?
Part B: If this does happen to be a wifi only version, it is even worth it to me to try to get them to exchange it, would it even have worked with Project Fi?
The LTE version has a different tray for sure - the sim card goes adjacent to the SD card, basically where that extra black area is. No idea about project FI, but my LTE tablet works in Toronto Canada on LTE pretty well.
Only the LTE Version has GPS. So try to use Google Maps
Hi!
Got my LTE version today and it sure looks different. I also had a sticker behind where it shows you, how to put micro sd AND sim-card into it.
Funny thing is, I even got a SIM card from China
