Has anyone cut their lte sim down to micro size? I know it's easy to do with the older sims. I'm going to upgrade to a skyrocket tomorrow and plan on keeping my iphone 4 as a backup. I will also use it for running since I already have an armband and earbuds with controls. I'd like to be able to put my sim in the iphone so I can use data for apps like runkepper. I don't want to use to my old sim since it's not lte. I've searched all over this site and others and I've read people suggesting this as a solution to this problem but I've yet to see the results.
Hey Horton,
I have your exact scenario. I used a sim cutter to turn my Skyrocket sim into a micro sim. Works just fine swapping back and forth between the Skyrocket and my iPhone 4.
Visual voicemail does not work on the iPhone 4, however.
Thanks for the reply! Is there anyway possible to check your voicemail with the iphone?

If you look under Settings>>Calls>>Call Forwarding, it should list the number for voicemail. If you call it, it'll give you traditional access to voicemail.
Thank you jslanger!
I cut a small piece of cardboard to fit the micro sim spot, took my sons sim cardfrom his samsung impression and used a utility knife to cut the card down to the exact size. He's got my iphone 4 with no issues from the sut down simm
Does anyone know if there's any kind of SIM card adapter that will work with this phone's micro SIM? I work around coal and power plants daily and I'd rather not ruin my new phone, so I'd like to be able to switch back and forth between the One X and my old Samsung Captivate. Anyone have any idea if this is possible with an adapter somewhere?

A micro sim is a micro sim.

if you use a piece of scotch tape the micro sim should fit into the captivate no problem. just set it properly over the contacts and then put the battery over it

I would be curious to hear how you guys are using this. I am carrying 2 phones, one work and one personal. Exchange on work phone. It would be nice to just carry one phone and maybe use GV for work messages.

I think the only option you have for both active is something like the Gmate or Socblue devices i've read about. They sell them on the same website but i've not used one myself

yeah S4 Chinese version is dual sim, perfect choice for 2 sim active
Absolutely, get the i9502, FTW!!!
this looks crazy awesome
Why would you go through the trouble of posting this video and asking for subscriptions when you do nothing to explain this is depth? Is the software on the phone already set up for this? How does the messaging app handle it? Is there any setup required?
do your phone have to be rooted or not to use it
I have this, 2 sim active, the only problem is it will only support GSM, data is usable, but you need to root or jailbreak for data, gmate promised a 3G version, but this was over a year ago.
[/QUOTE]
Also if people are after a dual sim adapter, instead of paying the high price for the magicsim, go to ebay and get a iphone 4 or iphone 5 version for about 5-7USD, these will also work for android phone, I'm using one right now, no root is needed and supports data.
details on using it, when the dual sim adapter is connected, a icon will show up in the menu, this menu allows you to switch sim.
This is on my note 2, but all android will work.

I pass this on to friend that need this exactly. No fast data just 2 line's on one phone.

But the question is, could you use both phones at the same time with the dual sim adapter. How it works? How the phone discriminates both?

did you have to trim your sim card to fit the cards. does one card with adapter go in reg slaot and the other into extension or do both go into extension. will the extra stuff with sim inserted into sim slot damage sim slot on phone. looking at this and triple sim adapter for s4 and n3
For the adapter the main sim is the microsim that goes into the phone with one end of the adapter which goes under the microsim, the other end supports a full size sim, I actually have the ipnone 5 version so the size is slightly smaller, you should get the iphone 4 version, the fit into the sim slot on the phone will fit without any problem, as most sim sockets are made slightly thicker, about 0.1-2mm, as sim cards vary in thickness due to manufacture process.
As long as you have one microsim and one full size sim, you are ok, you do not need to alter it in anyway, if you do have different size sims like me, as shown in the photo's you can use sim adapters, data will work with either sim.
The photo's show some close shots of the adapter, even with the adapter in the slot, it is slightly loose, so I have used double sided tape as shown in the photo.
Triple sim
Dual sim
Triple sim, this one has been posted earlier, but opened.
Can anyone who has actually received a Nexus 5 confirm the size of the SIM card and whether it is Micro or Nano sized?
Please don't speculate, I'd really like to hear the absolute facts. I need to know whether to order a nano-size SIM cutter ASAP because my carrier doesn't offer nano size.
Thanks!

I believe it's micro, because the only phones I'm aware that use the nano sim is the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S

It is a micro Sim confirmed many times on here.

Same as the one x
It's Micro Sim.
its micro sim just as what everybody else said.
Ok thanks folks, I'll go with Micro, which means I don't need to order a cutter.
But just as a side note, I was hoping to hear it from someone with an actual phone in their hand. I know it's been posted before (that it was Micro) but I've never heard an actual first hand account.

Moto X has a nano as well
according to the google support page on installing the sim card. (here)
Before you start using your phone, you may need to insert a micro SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card” appears on the phone’s lock screen.

Hi all,
I am now the proud owner of an AM7. However, I have a problem! I cannot get the 2nd sim card to work. The phone only shows bars for the Micro Sim - the Nano Sim is not showing anywhere.
Is there something I am suppose to do to activate the Nano Sim or should it pick it up automatically? Also - I had real problems getting the Nano Sim to fit in the 2nd tray - it seemed a fraction too big. Did anyone else experience this??
Thanks!!

Hello,
Do you have the 16GB/2GB Ram or the 32GB/3GB Ram version of the AM7?
Based on the reviews I checked, the feature of using 2 sims is only limited to the 32GB/3GB Ram version

No I have the International 16GB/2GB however I am almost certain i've seen details saying the dual sim is available on both models. Personally not once have I seen anything to say it was only limited to the 3GB Gold version and I did alot of phone researching.
I really hope this isn't the case anyway!!
Thanks a lot

The nano sim is perfectly sitting in the tray. You should place the sim according to the cut side. The terminals of the sim should face above. May be your nano sim is not cut properly? Is this sim coming as nano sim from the company or you have cut it?
I am having the same problem in sim one. It was working well but now it is not detecting anymore. I think in my case the slot terminals have dislodged.

Hi and thanks for the help. The sim was cut ever so marginally to fit into the tray - however I am surprised I had to trim it at all? When I put it back into my company iPhone it still works. It certainly looks like the sim is sitting correctly but the phone has not detected it once. I'll try again later tonight.
I am concerned though that the 16GB/2GB International version does not support dual sim - only the gold 32GB/3GB version - but as I mentioned above i've never seen this written anywhere anywhere.
Do I assume there is nothing that needs to be 'switched on'??
You should see two sim toolkits in applist. Always, not only if there are 2 cards inserted. You could check build.prop and local.prop for dual sim entries. All should be true. And well 2gg model is single sim normally. Only Chinese models and gold model are dual sim. Maybe you could make it work with patching prop files.
I do have a sim toolkit app but it will not open. So everything seems to indicate the international version does not support dual sims. So disappointing - oh well...... ebay here we come...
Thanks a lot...

It may be too late but in phone menu, could you try keying in *#06# and if 2 IMEIs display, then it should be dual sim.
