Just curious to know if anybody cut down a micro SIM to use in the mate 10? Was all set to cut it down myself then found out they are also thinner which has stopped me. Can it be done or not with bothering?
I cut it, just don't cut the chip!

Anyone know of a dual sim kit that DOESN'T require cutting? I ask because i have 2 contract sims, one for work one for home.
I'm also still looking for that.....but I think it doesn't exist. I always have my two sims in my phone. One is well in its place ans the other one is in the cover. When I need to change, I switch the phone off and I change the card. It's the only way I found.
There is not enough space to put a Dual sim holder with no cut under the cover.
when i had an 8210 it had a dual sim that was 2mm thicker than a sim card the same one will fit but is not 3g compliant

Can you tell me where you buy it, or do you have some reference.
If you say it fits between the battery and the cover, it begin to be nice. 3G isn't so important for me

ok i managed a little test, so it works i used magicsim 23th -B. Stk menu, switching everything works but the problem is to fit it inside, under battery there is no place at all, and under cover its somehow fit but the cover is not as it supose to be. now im buyng 6 in 1 magic sim and im going to try that.
Thank you for your test, Pilknik11. The biggest challenge is to fit the dual sin under the cover of the phone.
Maybe with and extended batterry cover, it could fit near the camera lens. But it's a bit bulky.
It's quite hard to find a solution.
nvm seems like an incompatible one.
i think you've cut off too much from the top
I always go to mobile shop to cut it
get a sim cutter from ebay, one single press , your micro sim is ready
LOL DUDE
Loving your artistic side bro
Has anyone successfully managed to cut a T-Mobile SIM down to micro size? My SIM seemed to be aligned quite unusually before I cut it - with the gold contact almost flush with one of the long edges - so I cut it so that the gold contacts were roughly centred between the long edges. I also cut off the same corner as the original SIM. Problem is the phone isn't recognising the SIM card
???
Go to a store and get a new sim. Then have them cut it.

its not hard to find, there is an image you can print out and cut out that fits the micro sim....and all you have to do is tape it to the mini sim and cut away the extra edges....instead of just trying to eyeball it.
but yes you can always go to the store and have them cut/give you one
I found the template on the net, printed it, but found that that SIM card was significantly larger than the printed template. Also, if I'd cut along the guide lines I would have needed to cut part of the gold contact (due to the odd alignment described above), which clearly wasn't a good idea.
Can I get a replacement SIM with the same number/account?

Yes. And they have a tool that will cut it.

yea sims are no big deal......they will give them to you if you go in and ask for them. well i know at&t will, i just tell them i was switching phones and i dropped it in the seat or some crap. but im sure they will just give you one.
yes i bought one of those things on ebay that look like a stapler and cut the sim card fine and it worked in my phone
Just use a clipper, u can buy one for about a fiver. Cutting isn't as easy but its not that hard. Just use a decent blade.

There has been a few comments on this forum about the Xperia S's back battery cover not seating perfectly flush with the top right or left side of the phone. e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540459&highlight=battery+cover
I had the same problem and found a solution. I had a regular sized SIM card that I trimmed to fit into the phone but I guess that unless you trim it to a perfect size then the battery cover won't fit.
I trimmed the SIM card to be flush with the top of the SIM slot - there should be a minimum or no extra plastic from the SIM card above the SIM port. Now my phone back cover seats perfectly.

In the UK, the sim cards supplied with the Xperia S from providers are really small i will take a photo and upload it in an edit just to give people an idea of how small they should be if they come across this issue they can trim it to the size of mine

Thanks - there are also guides for trimming up regular sized sims to micro sims like this website - do a google search and tons would come up (XDA won't let me post them since I'm a new member).
Hello,
I left a Nano sim adapter inside of sim tray and it is now stuck inside. I have tried to remove tray by myself , but i am afraid of breaking it.It pops up a little bit, but this is it. I have watched DYI videos on youtube, but unfortunately , neither one shows how to dissemble sim tray. I would like to know if somebody knows how to fix it or where I can bring it for repair. I live in Boston. but i just found third party repair shops. I do not know if Nokia has an official repair center nearby.
Thanks

Been there done that. Well i pulled it out and broke all the pins. Took it too nokia they asked for half the phones price to fix it, so i went onto ebay got an oem flex cable assemble and changed it myself total cost 45dollors.
If you havent pulled it out you can try cutting a thin peace of plastic slip it in side so that the pins get raised just a bit so that it will release the sim tray.
This is actually Apples Fault because if they used sims that every one uses i would have to put adapters into my other phones so fu Apple.
