  • Open the SIM card slot (by pushing or using a special paper clip) and slide out the tray.
  • Install the SIM card in such a way that the logo of the operator faces upwards and the contacts towards the back of the device.

Today I will write about a burning issue, most likely for millions of users. With the appearance of new phone models, manufacturers wanted to change the SIM card slot for some reason. Vida-changes in mobile devices have contributed to the change in sim card size, namely the large card gradually turned into a micro and then a nano.

Owners of smart phones which have a combined tray for SIM, I recommend this topic “Lifehack two SIM cards and flash card combo” in one tray.

What will happen if the SIM card is not correctly removed

Pay attention on the picture below, you can see that the SIM socket has six contacts, which resemble a fishing hook, simply speaking the contacts slope to one side, and if you insert a SIM card with burrs or with displaced adapters, then during the pulling it can get stuck.

And if it happened, do not try to use force when taking out such a SIM, otherwise the least that will happen, you will break the contacts, in the worst case you will damage the phone itself.

How to get the SIM card out if it is stuck

To perform this operation will need a small set of tools, it will include a sharp tweezers, plus any strip of flexible and durable material. In my case I used a piece of plastic bottle.

Take the plastic and cut a strip of desired width under the slot SIM card or as shown in the picture under the width of the card you want us, the length of the strip should be such that you can easily hold it with your fingers.

This preparation of our tools and devices can be considered complete.

Instructions for extracting the SIM card which is stuck without disassembling the phone

So the extraction device in the form of a pre-prepared strip of thin and at the same time durable material is ready, in our case as previously mentioned (a strip from a plastic bottle), tweezers in front of us. Let’s start, take the plastic strip in hand and try to slip it slowly into the slot, between the SIM card and the card receiver, while trying to raise the SIM card itself, if it is in an additional frame then its also. At the initial stage of the SIM card do not pull the SIM on itself, but instead push it as deep as possible, thereby freeing the outermost contacts of the SIM holder from pinching.

After you have managed to stick the plastic strip in the extreme position of the SIM holder, we take the tweezers in our hands and slowly try to get the SIM card, in cases with the adapter and his (perform these actions without fanaticism, if it does not go, we correct the plastic lining).

This method is suitable for any phone in which the SIM-card is stuck, as well as any other card. The main task is that our gasket would go between the contacts in the form of spring (hooks) and the SIM card itself, thereby unlocking the mesh.
