Can't open my sim card tray

I can't open my sim card tray -- have tried paper clip, safety pin, etc...

Yes if its a one time problem one should visit the local store but since one might need it again and its a universal tool for all iphones and ipads so it might come handy some day or the other.
Its not very expensive

This listing is for less than a dollar and has three of them for less thana dollar and the SIM ejection tool can be kept in your iphone box or in your wallet.

  • I can't open my SIM card tray on iPad mini?!

    I used like 5 paper clips and broke every one of them trying to open the tray. The box didn't come with a SIM eject tool, so I'm screwed. What do I do?!

    how did you break them, the clip should be used to push straight in, no turns are necessary.
    I suggest you take to an apple store or phone provider and have them take a look as it sounds like something is amiss in your unit.

  • TS3274 Just got an ipad and can't open the SIM Card slot - is it meant to be spring loaded - as it comes with a little tool that you poke in the hole, but it will not pop out any help please?

    Just got an ipad air, ordered from Apple online store, can't open the SIm card slot - comes with a special tool, but is it meant to be springloaded and just pop out? I think it is faulty.

    Push pin in firmly (tap to enlarge image)

  • SIM Card Tray -- Can't Push It Back In

    As the subject says... I can't push the SIM card tray back in. The top portion of the stray sticks out and no matter how much force you use to push the tray back in... nothing.
    Anyone have any advice/tricks/tips?

    that would fall into a 100% applecare issue, they should have no problem fixing your phone, and you get the free apple paperclip lucky 1-800-myiphone

  • TS4148 The sim card for my new iphone is not working and I can't get the sim card 'drawer' open - also can't get a telephone appointment with apple until Monday evening - any ideas?

    The sim card for my new iphone 4, purchased today, is saying the sim card is not installed.  I have followed the directions included on the support page but have two problems.  1.  I can't open my sim card sleeve with the key and  2.  I can't get any apple support until Monday evening - can anyone help please?

    Hope this photo helps.

  • Need a new SIM card tray and cover for Nokia Lumia...

    I just got a Nokia Lumia 920 in white and when I tried to open the SIM card tray to put in my SIM card, the tray went flying and I can't find it.  Does anyone know how to get a replacement tray?  I have a great phone that I can't use so I'm freaking out right now.  Nokia customer service said all parts are sold on Amazon.  Not true because this one is not.  Tried eBay and Google search to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.

    @White920
    As a new model parts will still be very scarce and one source was quoting me 3 week wait for a screen replacement.
    It is quite true that one supplier does advertise SIM tray upon Amazon when available:http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0085LV7Y4

  • Sim card tray stuck in iPhone 3G? (pics)

    My current phone is a CDMA phone and I needed a GSM phone for my high school trip to France, so my father brought a cheap iPhone 3G on eBay that seemed to be in very good condition. Today the international sim card he brought came in the mail, and I'm having trouble getting the sim card tray out of this phone.
    I tried using a stripped down pipe cleaner to open the sim card tray at the top, which appeared to work just fine at first.
    When you push the pipe cleaner into the tiny hole, the tray only pops out this far, at the most.
    After a little bit of tugging, I can get it out just a tiny bit further. This part makes me nervous, though. When I pull it this far, I hear a weird grinding sound, like two milk carton caps being rubbed together. I try not to put too much force on it after this point in fear of snapping the tray in half.
    NOW I CAN LITERALLY HOLD UP THE ENTIRE PHONE JUST BY HOLDING THE TOP OF THE SIM CARD TRAY. If the rest of the iPhone was built like this stupid sim card tray, I think the tech repair industry would go out of business :/
    Since I just brought a cheap phone on eBay, I doubt it's still under warranty. I usually have nothing to do with Apple, so I don't know what their repair service is like, but I do know that: 1)I don't have $300 to spend on repairing a $50 phone. and 2)There's no Apple stores within 100 miles of me (although there is a tech repair shop nearby, I never went there before and don't know what they do)
    Is there anything I can do by myself to get that tray out? I really don't feel like wasting more money, but I'm very frustrated right now. I just really desperately want to get the phone working before the trip in two weeks.

    Sorry for being a bother, but now it looks like taking it to a third party shop is my only option.
    My mother heard me complaining about the phone and decided to "fix" it herself. Long story short, she snapped the tray in half and now I have half a tray in my hand and the other half stuck in the phone.
    I'll see if I can coax the rest out with a pipe cleaner, as the rest of the phone seems to still be just fine. For now I'll just wait for my father to come home while I avoid eye contact with my mother for the rest of the day.
    And thanks for the bit about sim card itself, but I think that much is covered already. Unlike my mother, my father knows how phones work so I don't believe the sim card would be too difficult for him once we replace the tray

  • WebOS sim card tray

    I accidentally opened my sim card tray and now I dont know how to close it. Do I just have to push it in again or does it stay open forever?
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Just push it back in.  It's spring-loaded, so push it in deeply and it will latch before coming back out.
    This should last "forever", or until you press on it again.

  • My IPhone doesn't seem to have a sims card tray. Please help

    My IPhone doesn't seem to have a sims card tray. I would like to change the sims card but I can not find the sims card tray. I have looked on the right side and on top of my phone but its not there. I have a Iphone4 and Verizon as my carrier. How do I change my sims? Or can I change my sims card? Please help me I would greatly apperciate it.

    The Verizon iPhone 4 is a CDMA phone and as such has no SIM. Ergo there's no way to change a SIM and no way to use the phone with another carrier, if that's what you wanted to do.
    Regards.

  • How come i can't open the sim tray even if i use the small pin?

    how come i can't open the sim tray even if i use the small pin?

    Press firmly and push either the sim eject tool or a small paperclip straight in until the tray pops out.
    If that doesn't work make an appointment at an Apple store.

  • Sim card tray will not open

  • I have lost my mini ipad sim card tray, can I get a replacement?

    I am trying to establish if I can buy a mini Ipad sim card tray ... I have somehow lost mine and need a replacement.
    I have called and the apple store person but he didn't know and said make an appointment with their tech people.
    It's a 200 klm round trip for me and a long way to go to my nearest apple store to find out they don't have one.
    Does anyone know??
    Cheers
    Jack

    You can use a paper clip instead of the PIn that came with the iPad.
