Where to buy a Micro SIM Adapter (Retail)

[filmfanatic24]

I'm selling my 4 tomorrow to someone on Craigslist. I ordered a micro SiM Adapter on Amazon today and got overnight shipping. As of right now it still hasn't shipped and I'm getting nervous. Is there any brick and mortar store I can buy one of these? Best Buy? Microcenter? AT&T?

You mean like a hole punch thing? Or the adapter to put a microsim into a full size box?

If you want to turn a full sim into a microsim, you can probably get away with using a hobby knife. If you want to put a microsim into a full slot, you can use the original packaging that the microsim came in.

Both solutions are hacks, of course, but they should work in an emergency.

I want to put the micro sim from the 4 into a 3G. I don't have the original plastic that the SIM came in because it came in the 4.

I'm trying this at the moment but it's a royal pain in the butt.

Ya, that's basically what I was recommending you do.

See here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3794/the-iphone-4-review/2

its about 3/4 of the way down the page. The reviewer had the same problem you did.

Welp. I tried that and I failed miserably. Luckily in the hour it took me to do that my order from Amazon shipped so I should have a real adapter tomorrow.
