Has anyone made their own nano-sim card? Did you have to sand it or you just cut it pop it right in?
 
I was going to cut my 128k mini-sim down to size but then noticed Vodafone Italy had a free nano-sim available as replacement. I did practice on an old mini-sim and it was easy to cut to size with sharp electrician's scissors, then the only filing with sand-paper that I did was to smoothen the rough edges on the sim. The depth of the cut-down sim wasn't a particular problem.

practice on something old first!
 
The T-Mobile SIM card I cut down for the hell of it didn't need any sanding whatsoever. Just cut it up and you're good to go.
 
Yeah, they don't usually need sanding. I would still recommend doing it out of anal retentiveness, but it's not needed.
