Broken SIM tray

hi guys,
i managed to insert the SIM tray in the wrong way (don't ask how... i was on a bus, wasn't paying attention etc). it got stuck, i pulled it out and part of it broke off.
what should i do? i guess i should call apple, as there could be bits of the tray inside the iphone. but i'm worried that it will be enormously expensive, as it's obviously my fault (and not covered by warranty). alternatively, i could get some local guy to repair it and get a cheap SIM tray off ebay - but this would of course void the warranty.
thanks for any help!

thanks to all for the replies.
to clarify, the SIM tray broke as i pulled it out (bottom side of the rectangle-shaped tray came off). a piece of it visibly got stuck inside, i pulled that out. i'm not sure whether more bits are deeper inside, it seems clear when i look inside. when i insert what is left of the SIM tray (like a U shape) into the phone, it goes in perfectly. however, when i put a SIM on the tray and feed that in, it doesn't go in all the way and feels impeded.
so i figure that either there is another piece of the broken sim tray deep in there, or the side of the slot is bent so the SIM doesn't get seated properly.
thanks for that carl, i guess i should give apple a call and see how i go.

  • Broken Sim Tray - No receipt

    Hello all,
    I've enjoyed my Z10 for a few weeks now but I encountered a big problem now. After switching from my nano simcard with sim adapter to the regular (and new) micro sim no sim card is being recognized. A friend of my told me this could be because of the pins inside the sim tray / sim card holder are broken. After checking this it appears that indeed for at least one pin is missing / broken.
    I am trying to getting this fixed but I haven't got a receipt / ticket (Sorry, I don't know the proper word for it). Here in Holland manufacturers have to accept the product if it is returned for any damage within I believe 6 months. It does not mean that it should be fixed or anything but they at least have to figure out a solution. But I can't reach RIM / BlackBerry in any way.
    Besides that I want to know if there is still any warranty and if so, does a broken sim tray get fixed within warranty?
    Can anyone help me on this?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Blackberry Passport sim tray issue is prevalent and they will not fix it for you because it is your fault. Ridiculous.

     I bought my Blackberry passport on Feb 13rd. Right out of the box the sim tray didn't read the sim. I thought it is my sim's problem, so I waited for another sim. New sim came in, still didn't read. After a long call with customer support and BB virtual support, I had my device sent in around mid March. They checked it and said I damaged the sim tray and I need to pay 268$ to have it fixed. I though it is ridiculous since I haven't done anything to the phone. So I argued with them and eventually they agreed to have my fixed without cost.
     However when they sent me back the device, I poped in the sim and it only works for 1 day, on and off the second day and then not reading the sim at all after that. I think the sim tray's problem with the passport is prevalent and the pin can be broken by the simple act of poping in the sim card. My ATT sim is working perfectly fine on the 5s and my brother's iphone 6.
     After 2 days of receiving the "repaired" device, I call them again and this time they said it is certainly my fault and if I send it in again, I will have to pay 268$ to have it fixed.
     So I thought for people out ther if you have a passport, don't pop in and out the sim card. It can really easily be broken.
      For me, I think now I just gonna use my "broken sim tray new passport" as a reading device. After 10 years, I will officially switch to other brand. Still love the keyboard though, but anyway.

    Check that your sim card does not have a burr or edge on it before you insert it, as that may be what's damaging the SIM pins.
    Site anly allow linlks to web images, so here's what the tray is supposed to look like - with the SIM cover on.
    FWIW - a T3 torx driver is required to remove the screws around the SIM  and TF card tray cover. That would allow you to look at the underlying pins - and possibly - with a bit of luck, fix them on your own.

  • Broken 3GS sim tray - need some info PLS

    I had to pull a little harder than normal on the white (exterior visible part) of the sim tray and it broke.
    Can you tell me how can I get a new one that has the IMEI code and serial number on it??
    I'm asking here first because I'm not sure if you can get in touch with apple via email and also I might get an answer faster.
    Thank you.

    If you contact Apple or make appointment at Apple Store they can get a new SIM Tray with the compatible #'s exactly for your iPhone. Once ordered it may take a few days for them to get it in for you. Also they may charge you a small fee. Hopefully you can show them the old tray and they will just do it for free.

  • Broken sim reader iphone 4s

    I recently bought an iPhone 4s from a friend. After inserting the microsim, I realised that the phone was locked to orange (I'm on O2). I attempted to remove the sim card in order to take it into a shop to be unlocked, but the sim tray was stuck at around 2.5mm. After some researching I found that this appeared to be a common problem for people with micro sims. The repair shop had to take the entire phone apart to finally remove the sim, and apparently in the process broke a spring/ discovered a broken spring in the sim reader. The question I am asking is, if I take it to a genius bar will they replace/ repair the phone? Is this free? The warranty is still well within date but because it is second hand does this mean it's invalid? If so, how do I change my details so the phone is registered to me?
    Thanks

    Thank you for your reply. I think he said something about a jail break but I heard this wasn't ideal as it wouldn't be able to update. Do I just contact orange and ask them for an unlock code or something?

  • IPhone 5 sim tray missed

    I lost my iPhone 5 sim tray black colour I bought mobile in Kuwait but now am in India, tamilnadu when I contact service centre in my home town here in Madurai they told sim tray will not suit my phone which is brought from other country, so please help me were to buy sim tray.

    Check with any disreputable street vendor whether he has a broken, damaged, dead iPhone 5 corpse he can sell. Probably quicker than wrangling with the "official" vendors who will be nasty like wjosten explains.

  • Can I have a replacement for my Nano SIM tray of iPad Mini?

    Hello, I just lost my nano sim tray of ipad mini 16GB white at a network carrier store. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement? I purchased the ipad in Singapore but I live in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Do I have to write to Apple in Singapore or US to ask for help? I am willing to pay for the replacement as long as I can get one for my iPad. i am afraid that Apple store in Ho Chi Minh would not help me for this stuff. Thanks much for your advices!

  • Okay so my i just got my new iphone 4 from sprint and sprint has the sim tray locked theres no hole on the side or anything and i was wondering if i took it to the apple store can i get it unlocked or another iphone with a open and close sim tray

    sprint shouldnt have locked the sim tray anyways and i think this is just wrong because i payed for the phone and should be able to do what i want with it. they say you can unlock the sim card or the tray i guess if you in good standings with the company an apperantly im not so i was wondering if somthing can be done about this because i see no hole or anything to even open the tray someone HELP ME ! please and thank you

    No. Nothing can be done about this. It was made clear quite some time ago what the situation was going to be.
    Now... That said, if you have an iPhone 4S, there is a SIM tray on the right hand side of the phone.
    If you have an iPhone 4 as you indicate, THERE IS NO SIM TRAY. The iPhone 4 is NOT a world Phone. You can only use that phone on Sprint or roam to their CDMA partners where present. The phone will not work at all throughout most of the world, including Europe.
