Can you cut a micro sim card and use it in an unlocked iPhone 5s?

I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s but I still have a contract and use a micro sim card. Is it possible to cut my sim card and still be able to use it with the iPhone 5s?

There are SIM cutters, but first ask your carrier if they can provide a nano-SIM. You will still keep the same phone number, and it won't affect he contract.

Can you legally remove the sim card and use it for another courier?

I wanted to buy the iPhone 3G but annoyignly O2 have adopted stupid tarrifs that make no sense, so I want to replace my Samsung phone that I bought and use with T-Mobile, with the iPhone 3G. O2 will be selling the handsets individually for PAYG, but will that mean I can only use it for O2's services still?

There isn't any info yet and don't quote me but I'd say there is very high chance it will be locked to O2 and only work with the sim card that the iphone comes with. It's doubtful it will work with the tmobile sim card.

Not in the US, at the present time. Apple has not started selling officially unlocked iPhone 5's in the US, & has not announced when they will.

Under the circumstances this will probably considered a dumb question.
I currently have a jailbroken unlocked 3GS with a GoPhone plan. Works great. I am considering upgrading to a new factory unlocked 4S. Will I be able to swap in my current SIM card and go?

I just got an apple at&t iphone 4 and I have it unlocked. But I want to connect it to t-mobile, so I trimmed my sim card and once the phone was unlocked I inserted the sim and it says no sim, activation error. What can I do to fix this? What is wrong?

he is talking iPad
iPads are not Carrier locked and as long as you are happy with a 3G signal
you can buy a PAYG data sim in many countries
see LTE limitations here
http://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/
Buy from Apple Store and you can guarantee no issues

Which option do I have to select If I buy the latest iPad with cellular feature for international use? If I choose verizon can I just change the sim card and insert one from another country?

Yes you can. All Ipad's are unlocked and can be used any where in the world. Buy the AT&T version which is GSM in other countries

Apple iPhone 5c on EE brand new unopened no sim put in to it yet... if I buy it can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as normal?

Hi all,
Im thinking of buying a friends iPhone 5C contract upgrade as he doesn't want it now...
It's on EE but still sealed un-opened etc
Can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as i heard some phones are sim free until the first sim goes in to it?
Can i hear your input please.
Much appreciated,
Jo

If locked to EE, you will have to get your friend to request that EE unlock it before it can be used on any other network. So, don't purchase until you have verified that your friend has gotten the phone officially unlocked.

Can you support normal size SIM cards?

1) Most of us in China use normal sized SIM cards.
2) Most of mobile phones use normal sized SIM cards.
3) In emergency, the phone often runs out of battery.
4) We need to swap SIM cards from this phone to another.
So, support of normal size SIM cards will be highly appreciated. Even for Lumia 920/820.
BTW: I see a rumor that Lumia 920 in China will provide support for TD-SCDMA, which is REALLY VERY GREAT!
Solved!

Micro SIM cards are cut smaller than regular SIM cards but the pin outs are identical. I've placed my Micro SIM card in a regular SIM Card phone and it works no problem. It can be a little tricky depending on the phone and how it holds the regular SIM card. You just have to make sure the contacts are in the right spot.
To make it easier, you can always get a Micro-SIM to SIM adapter basically just a little plastic tray to make it easier to put a Micro-SIM card into a regular SIM card slot. Just google Sim Adapter and look for a Micro SIM to SIM adapter.
Something like this

If I buy a sim free phone here and take it to the Ukraine, can I get a local sim card and the phone still work properly, while in the Ukraine?

If I buy a sim free phone here and take it to the Ukraine with me, can I get a card there in the Ukraine to use the phone with. If that is possible, when I return to the states can I get an AT & T sim card and the same phone work in the states? Thanks in advance for your help.

If you buy an unlocked phone, it will work on any compatible GSM network anywhere in the world. If you buy an unlocked phone in the US, it will not work on LTE networks outside of North America. The warranty is also only valid in the country where the phone was originally sold.

If i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost

Hi,
if i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and also how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost in the usa?
thanks
Andy

hi there,
you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.
regards, Chris

I HAVE A PREPAID PHONE. WHEN I TRAVEL TO MALAYSIA I MUST BRING THIS PHONE WITH ME. CAN I BUY SIMS CARD AND USE IT? I AM TOLD THAT I CAN DO SO.

I HAVE A PREPAID PHONE AS I GO. WHEN I TRAVEL TO MALAYSIA, I AM GOING TO BRING THIS PHONE WITH ME. CAN I BUY SIMS CARD OVER THERE AND ASK THE SELLER TO PUT IN MINUTES FOR ME? WHO CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION?

That sounds like a great trip urgent! Ann154 asked a great question. Please share which prepaid device you have. 3G Prepaid Phone in a Box (PIB) is restricted for use with prepaid service for 6 consecutive months after activation, and is locked to the VZW network for 12 months after activation.
• After 6 consecutive months, the restriction to prepaid service is automatically removed.
• After 12 months, customers can dial *611 from their VZW prepaid phones or 888-294-6804, to receive the programming code to unlock their phones.
• Non-PIB prepaid devices are not locked, but may require a program code to use with another carrier - typically "000000" or "123456." Sim lock does not apply to any VZW 4G LTE device with global roaming capabilities. These devices are able to be used with a third party local sim card without any additional steps to unlock the device. Thank you.

Can a thief take out the sim card and use phone like new?

I recently left my phone in a public bathroom and when I went back it was gone. So I believe someone has taken it and has turned it off. I am using Find my iPhone but the person has not turned my phone on in 3 days. I'd like to know, what could he/she possibly be doing to my phone? Could she have already taken out the sim card and started using it like a new one? Is that possible? Everyone says that it becomes a useless brick after you go through the procedures of locking it and putting it on lost mode but there is a way around it right..otherwise, why would people steal them?

If the iPhone has iOS 7, you set up Find My iPhone, and there's a screenlock passcode, then the iPhone is unusable to the thief or anyone he sells or gives the iPhone to.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
The thief could have restored the iPhone which would cause it to no longer appear in Find My iPhone in iCloud, but it won't be usable. People steal them because either the thief is ignorant about Activation Lock, or they depend on buyers looking for a deal will be ignorant, which if you look at the many posts here from people who've bought an iPhone from a stranger and encountered Activation Lock is proof that such ignorance still abounds.
Regards.
