Cutting sim card

[Jonk1183]

I'm giving my 4 to my mom when i get my 4s but she's got an older sim card. i read somewhere a while ago that you can cut a sim to make it fit into a 4. anyone ever do this? easy? safe? thanks

Yes, completely safe and fine. However, i'd recommend you pick up a proper cutter from Amazon.

This one's less than $5: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SIM-Cutter-Converter-adapters/dp/B003UEWF8I/

Get the cutter, I messed mine up and had to wait for a new microsim a while back!

Or go to your carrier store and just ask for a micro sim, they are free and usually your in and out in less than 5 mins.

I went there 2 weeks ago, just ask politely for a new micro-sim and they should just hand one over.

Atleast that's what they did for me.

I got one last year, I was told it was free.

You will appreciate having a SIM cutter. It's kind of like having a wine bottle without a cork opener when you don't.

I cut mine. I've had it like that since the iPhone 4 was released and I came from the 3GS. It's easy. Just google micro sim template. Get an exacto knife and a ruler and score the lines a couple times before going all the way through. It'll take you just a couple mins. Pop it in the iPhone 4 and your mom will be happy. Just watch out for the big gold micro chip. It's easy man. No need to spend money on a sim cutter that you'll use once.

AT&T corporate stores offer them for free

authorized retailers might make you pay.

If they make you pay its $25 but if you call AT&T you'll get it credited to your account.

That's if you lose/break your old one. If you need to get a microSIM, they should do it for free. Especially if you're willing to give them your old SIM.
