I currently own a moto x from T-Mobile. I was interested in the nexus 5, but I realized the Sim cards were different sizes. Does anybody know any good sim card converters I could use? I plan on keeping both devices. Thanks in advance
If mini sim will convert to micro sim, just only cut and resize to micro sim.
I have same problem when i buy iphone a year ago.

Has anyone used a Micro SIM to full size SIM adapter with a G2 or G1?
http://www.amazon.com/AFC-Trident-M...JQVU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1336362098&sr=8-2
The reviews mention a reference to it working in an HTC Sensation and an HTC TITAN.
Problem: My new phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) uses a Micro SIM. But I still want to run my old G2 or even the G1 as spare/backup phones. For when I go somewhere I don't want risk damaging the new phone. Once I move my account over to the Micro SIM, the old full size SIM will be dead.
The T-Mobile guys at the store said they would re-program a full size SIM from a micro size SIM, but I don't want to have to go down to their store just to do that!
And cutting a full size SIM down to a Micro size SIM isn't going to help me go back and forth.
I know it's only a buck for this particular adapter, but I don't want to wedge something into my G2 that's going to not work and mess it up. That's why I'm asking if anyone has had any good or bad experiences dealing with this yet.
Well the SIM slot is basically quite simple there's real nothing to snag onto as you're just making sure to face the contacts towards the phones contacts and just sliding past them. With no vertical room to move (only horizontal in and out that has next to no wiggle room) I double very much you could actually damage the phone with said adapter.
This however concerns me: "Simply cut the GSM sim card to fit the adapter (please make sure you do not cut the metal contact.)"... if you go thru with it, I recommend using a razor blade like in those house blade assemblies, instead of scissors.
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

When i went to t-mobile to get a replacement sim (the old one started to bow and didnt always make contact) they duplicated it for me, and gave me both the old one and the new one, saying if it ever stopped working right that the old one would work still. Why not got ask for a new one? then you have two sims that are functional, you can have one full size and one micro ?
i know you want to avoid the store but it might be a simpler solution
I use a micro sim card in my desire z without any adaptors. I just slot it in where a normal sim should be and it works.
But it's a bit fiddly

So do I, perfectly working
I have nano SIM and adapter, working without problem
Hy guys. I was searching a method to use 2 sim in the same time.
Not 2 sim active but only one of these.
I found that
http://www.the-internet-shop.co.uk/htc-one-s/78735-htc-one-s-twin-dual-sim-card-adapter.html
The question is: the adapter requires two nano sim like iPhone 5? Do you think it will work?
I take it you don't have the phone either? if you did and had put a sim in it you would know that that adaptor could not possibly work, you can't fit a full sized sim in a micro sim slot.

I have the phone.....so i use micro sim. Maybe the adapter has the same size of micro sim but works with 2 spaces for 2 nano sim.
My apologies for not noticing you were asking about a nano sim.
Micro-SIM 15.00 x 12.00 x 0.76mm
Nano-SIM 12.30 x 8.80 x 0.67mm
Two nano sims would be nearly twice the size of a micro sim so the answer is still no it wouldn't fit in the One S.

for example this is for s3
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Dual-2-...110974865569?pt=SIM_Cards&hash=item19d69e10a1
and it works very well, but it's better to use a flip cover or plastic cover...because it hides the adapter which come out from case

Seems like a great option. Only problem with the One S is the Sim cover would have to be left off or cut up in order to install it. Also, you would need a more heavy duty case like an Otterbox in order to make it less obvious that it's there. The smaller, thinner cases such as the d3o case would make it pretty obvious that you have no Sim cover and something hanging out of the phone.
My LG G Pro 2 I bought a few weeks ago is broken. The reason is because I took the nano sim out of my iPhone 5s which I have now sold, and put the nano sim in a micro sim adapter and placed in the LG. When I removed it, the nano sim fell out and the adapter hooked onto the sim card reader pins and broken them when I removed the adapter. Tried getting it repaired but no one seems to be able to. Have had to purchase a second one, as I really like this phone. The broken phone still works, it just can't accept sim cards, so its now essentially just a 5.9 inch tablet. If anyone is interested in making me an offer on it as spares and repairs then let me know, I will be listing it on ebay in the coming days. An expensive mistake I'll never repeat. I have got a new micro sim from Three network for the replacement G Pro 2, and I'll never use a sim card adapter again.

That's too bad. I hope you're lucky with your new phone. I would have ordered a new one as well as I really like this phone so much. I use a micro-sim adapter myself as I had a Lumia 1520 before but that screen is so bad and Windows phone hasn't convinced me. It's still too slow for apps like parking apps. The G Pro 2 is the best phone I ever had until now with a great user experience even without CyanogenMod. Thanks for warning me.

Just listed the one with the broken sim reader on eBay UK for those who are interested. The replacement I got has a flickering screen after 10 or 15 minutes of use so getting it exchanged for a new one. It will be my THIRD G Pro 2 in as many weeks lol.
I have a phone on order (HTC 10) that takes a Nano SIM (4FF). My current HTC One (M7) has a Micro SIM (3FF), but looking at it, it appears as though a nano SIM (4FF) could be broken out from the Micro SIM (3FF), much in the way that many mini-SIM cards (2FF) can "break out" to become a Micro SIM (3FF).
Does this sound possible? I hope it's not too confusing how I have tried to posit the question. I'd like to be able to transform the micro SIM to a nano SIM when the new phone arrives without going to the T-Mobile Store.
Thanks.

I don't think you can because with a micro SIM the contacts come almost completely to the edge, trying to go smaller would compromise the contact area. Go to the store, there's a right way to do things and a wrong way to do things, engineering an alternate solution is only necessary when none already exist, in your case, alternatives exist.
This may help

Take your chances and trim a micro SIM to nano size but I'll wager you'll have issues and have to get a proper nano SIM anyway. The correct SIM shouldn't cost you anything from your carrier if you're paying for cell service on their network. Why complicate it?
