You don't want to have the SIM card cut, you just want to do it yourself? In this practical tip, we will show you how to cut the micro or nano SIM card with a template.
Template helps: This is how you can cut the SIM card
If you don't want to wait long for your new micro-SIM or nano-SIM, you can simply use your old SIM card. Your mobile phone number is also retained. What you need: Sharp scissors, adhesive tape (eg scotch tape), and a printer with paper.
- First download the micro-SIM template or nano-SIM template and print out the PDF document.
- Now cut out the desired template as precisely as possible on the dashed line.
- Then stick the template with a piece of scotch tape on the golden contact surface of the SIM card.
- Now simply cut out the SIM card along the solid line. Be careful not to scratch the chip as it may become unusable.
- Then try inserting the SIM card into the cell phone. If it doesn't quite fit yet, you can, for example, touch it up with a nail arrow.
Order a SIM card instead of cutting it
- If you want to save yourself the hassle or have damaged the SIM card when you cut it, you have to order the new SIM from your mobile operator. The new SIM is free of charge at most providers.
- However, it may take a few days for the SIM card to arrive and be activated. In the following practical tips, we show you how to order a new SIM card from the respective providers: Vodafone, Telekom, O2, Aldi Talk, Congstar, Fyve, Otelo, CallYa, Netzclub.
