Nano SIM adaptor got stuck inside my Lumia 1020

I forced to remove the nano SIM adaptor and after I tried a regular micro SIM and my Lumia 1020 gave me an error message saying SIM was not detected. I read many horrors stories like mine :-( I'm wondering if that happened to someone here on the forum and my question is: how much it costed to fix it and how long did it take? Thanks

Hi arturmeireles
I had similar problems. I bought a Lumia 1520 to try out the size of the screen and overall size of the beast. Must say that I love it although it is a little too big for my liking (a 5.5" would be just right). Anyway as we know the 1020 hosts a MicroSIM card and a 1520 uses a NanoSIM.
In Australia it is illegal to hold two SIMs for the same number so I purchased a $15 SIM adapter pack so I can use the NanoSIM on my 1020. BIG MISTAKE.
To make sure I wouldn't loose my adapter I placed it into the 1020. Wheh it came time for me to swap phones I had a little trouble getting the SIM tray out. I made sure the NanoSIM was installed correctly to the adapter and inserted it into my 1020. I got the Error, SIM is not loaded or not being detected. I tried to take out the SIMtray but it was stuck solid. I tried several suggestions from different forums, but no good. I even damaged the poly cover for the SIMtray.
The next day I sent my 1020 to the repair centre. Today I heard back saying the tray and the damage to the SIM slot is beyond repair and recommended not worth fixing as it was going to cost nearly $600 to repair. My new 1520 was only $530. 
I highly recommend NOT using a NanoSIM and MicroSIM adapter for the Lumia 1020. There are a number of forums that have addressed this very issue. Some people have had some success in removing the SIM but most others haven't. Looks like I'll be waiting for the successor of the 1020 (better have a NanoSIM as standard).
If there are any Nokia/Microsoft Technicians that can recommend a safe way of using a NanoSIM in the 1020 I'd love to hear about it and then I'll consider buying another. Until then I hope this prevents others from getting caught. 
May I recommend that all new Lumia's stick with one size SIM - if it is Nano so be it, or Micro fine. Or if the 1020 is intended on being a phone to stay in the market for a longer time please update the SIM housing so that these SIMs do not get stuck or replace the MicroSIM tray to be a native NanoSIM housing.
Cheers

  • Earphone jack tip got stucked inside port. What should I do?

    Something happened to my earphones that the tip hot stucked inside the port. I tried to take it out but i could not. So what should I do? I'm so sad right now!

    Did the tip snap off inside or is it still attached to the headphones?  If it snapped off, you may try tweezers to remove it.  If you can't get it out, a trip to your local Apple retail store or AASP will be in order.

  • Help!! Iphone's sim tray got stuck in slot

    Accidentally, I inserted the sim tray in wrong way. Now I can't get it out of slot. This IPhone still in warranty, which got the contract with optus 8 month ago.
    So I am just wondering where I can fix this problem, optus or apple store. Do I need to pay for this?

    Make an appointment at the genius Bar At your local Apple store you can do this online here: http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/geniusbar/
    Make a iPhone reservation go down there and they'll sort you out mate.

  • My lock button is stuck inside my iPod touch.

    Whats wrong with it and How much will it be to get it fixed?
    I have an iPod touch, 4th generation.
    I got my iPod about a year and a half ago, but I've only used it for a year. About a month ago, after dance I had grabbed my iPod and tryed to unlock it but it wouldn't unlock. Before I pressed it to unlock it, it was very loose. After I pressed it, it got stuck inside and its still a little loose but it wouldn't come out. So I pressed the home button to unlock it and I've been doing that ever since. I have to let my iPod automatically lock, because of the button not being able to work. I'm just tired of waiting and not being able to lock my iPod. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how much it will cost to get this problem fixed without the warranty (I never got to set it up)
    Please if you know how much, let me know. Thank you.

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple stoe.  Maybe they can free the button.  If not, Apple will only exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • LUMIA 830 nano -SIM ejection issue

    Lumia 830 has a nano-SIM slot.I have inserted my Nano-SIM in the sim slot provided.....it was easy to insert it .But now when I am trying to eject it i cannot hear the resistance spring clicking(like used for micro-SD slot)it's stucked.
    Is there any specific procedure for SIM ejection in lumia 830 such as other lumia's which have SIM tray.Many 830 users are facing the same issue regarding SIM ejection.
    Is this a quality issue??Please reply at the earliest

    there is no other way then to push it in gently until it clicks. removal is much the same way. if it is damaged you will need to take it to your nearest Care Point for inspection, and liaison with them on the matter.

  • My iPad 3 microsim card slot is stuck or jammed. Manually cut micro sim is stuck inside the slot. I can't open it. How to proceed?

    My iPad 3 microsim card slot is stuck or jammed. Manually cut micro sim is stuck inside the slot. I can't open it. How to proceed?

    If they can't extract the SIM without opening the iPad (which no service center is authorized to do), and you can't manage to get it out yourself, then you'll probably have to pay Apple's out-of-warranty replacement price and get the iPad replaced. Use of a cut-down SIM is not covered under warranty.
