I have a nano SIM that I had put in a micro sim holder and have been using. last night I wanted to swap the SIM card and when I pulled the tray out, the NANO SIM card has come out - but the SIM CARD TRAY HOLDER and MICRO SIM HOLDER are struck to something inside and not coming out - I think inner edge of Micro Holder is struck to something. I can push in but cant pull out....
any help how to get it out.

Don’t force it out. you will break the sim pins connector inside phone. It seems the sim adapter hang up with some of the sim pins in the phone.
try to insert thin piece between the adapter and the phone connector. see if it will free the adapter

Trying to install my Iphone's micro sim into I777 using an adpater.
The adapter holds the micro sim nicely but I get "No SIM" when turning on the phone.
Any suggestions how to fix this ?
Just go to AT&T and ask for a new Sim, its free.
It's not an AT&T sim any more. I'd like to use the micro sim for the I777 if possible.
I use a micro SIM and adaptor, and it works just fine for me. Sounds like you have a bigger issue at hand.

the I777 works great with a regular sim.
The micro sim works great in Iphone.
So why doesn't it work with an adapter ?
Is the micro sim touching the sim slot contact? Have you try just putting the micro sim card in itself, set perfectly to touch the spots that should be touching the sim card? I had a micro sim card that I cut to use with my iPhone 4 and I didn't have an adapter and still worked when put in correctly, touching all the contacts with the sim card.
Try using the micro sim with the adapter in a different phone. You may be using a bad adapter that isn't aligning the micro sim properly.
If the micro sim + adapter don't work in a different phone, I'd look for a micro sim adapter that's better in quality.
For a some reason I had to install cutted(from mini-SIM) card into my phone. It is little bit thicker then tipical microSIM card. Of course I cut it manually, using template. But, during pluging this card I broke push-pull lock of SIM card holder. I mean now I'm not able to pull the SIM from slot by pushing it, like I can do with SD card.
I little bit disassemble the phone(up to see simcard holder) but do not found the way how to fix lock.
So I'm looking for HQ images of working lock and maybe some explanations how it works. I guess metal legs bent, but i'm not sure...
Hi everyone. I have problem with my micro sim tray. When I insert my sim card in the tray, it can go in but it doesn't stay "locked", but tray ejects it immediately, instead of "locking" it and holding it. I guess the problem is that I have been using manually cut sim card which was smaller than the original micro sim I now want to insert.
Is there a way to fix this somehow without buying a new part to replace the tray?
Thanks in advance!
the slot is like 5 bucks, so I'd just replace it
Hello. I purchased this phone in UK(Now i am in Italy). I found that my sim card is a bit thick and now it's stucked. Thanks
Try using a small pair of needle nose pliers. Or, don't try and force a micro sim into a nano sim slot, or upside down, or any foregn objects, and it wont get stuck.
Is it possible to cut down a micro sim to nano sim and will it fit the sim cradle? (nano sim thiiner than micr sim?)
It is possible, but not recomended. Also the nano sim is a bit tinner and this needs some extra work.
You'll risk getting it jammed inside the device and damaging it. It's totally not worth it.
i cutted my micro sim to nano sim
working perfectly
Try that :

Thanks for the advice. I'll finally decide when it arrives!
I've also cut my nano sim with scissors.. worked much better than i expected
Cut 2 sims today used a sim adapter to get the correct place to cut , both work perfectly

Yesterday I went to local mobile store and they cut mine from micro to nano free of charge, but I had to agree that the process might ruin the sim card Works like a charm and I saved 5euro for the new sim card from carrier.

I cut down my work sim from micro to nano to fit in the OPX, just used my main sim as a template and kept checking it in the sim tray till it fitted.
So far no problems and comes out and back in again easily
Let it cut with a nano sim cutter in a mobile store, then use a nail file or emery board to make it a bit thinner and round the edges. Worked for me and doesn´t cost a cent. If it goes wrong, you can order a nano sim anyway.
basically i thought to do this, but i can't afford 3 days w/o calls if i ruin my micro sim so ordered my nano sim
the thing i'm reticent is IF i had to go back to old phone, i could not be able to use micro sim
let it cut by local rip-off mobile store for 5€. well at least it works and was less expensive than a new card from the carrier for 15€.
Cutted mine (using scissors), no problem...
Cutted mine with a bought sim cutter,works perfect
