Nano sim card???, whats the difference???

what's the diffence between the nano sim card and the micro sim card???

The product you are suggesting has a good chance of NOT working:

But the difference in thickness, even just 0.09mm, may cause problems when a cut-down micro-SIM is inserted into an aperture designed for a nano-SIM.

also makes clear that there's no going back, so you'll have to chuck your earlier micro-SIM card if you've got one.

  • Can I use the nano sim card of iPhone 5C for an iPhone 4S?

    My grandmother has been thinking of buying an iPhone 5C (because she saw a good deal) and she wants to give it to me and use her old iPhone 4S. The problem is that she wants to use the nano sim card of the 5C for her 4S in order to save her phone number that she will receive once she buys the phone. Is it possible for a 4S to work with the sim card of a 5C?

    if you use an adaptor to make it a microSim if thats what your 4s use then yes

  • IPad Air (wifi + cellular) WITHOUT nano sim card

    Just recently bought an iPad Air (64 GB, wifi + cellular; A1475) on eBay, brand new, except that the seller removed the Verizon nano sim card.  My questions:
    What possible reason(s) would the seller have for only removing/keeping the nano sim card from the iPad?
    I assume I won't have any problems getting a new/replacement nano sim card from Verizon when/if I sign up for service with them, correct?
    From what I've briefly researched online, it seems as if even though the iPad Air is supposedly specifically for use with Verizon, I can actually obtain/use nano sim cards and service from other cellular providers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Spring), correct?  (See also here.)
    FYI:  The iPad Air truly was/is brand new.  Never activated, never used (absolutely spotless).
    Thanks in advance for any information/advice!

    AFAIK, the iPads are not carrier-locked, so IFF you need to have carrier-based Internet connectivity and are willing to pony up the cost, you should be able to get the SIM from the carrier giving you the best deal and live happily ever after.
    That being said, I have a Wi-Fi+Cell iPad 4 purchased directly from Apple which has never felt a SIM card in its innards. Bought it instead of the Wi-Fi-only model cause I wanted the full GPS capability. And between the office (BIG 1 Gbps pipe to the Internet on our LAN) or at home (much more modest ADSL wireless router), been quite happy ignoring the No SIM onscreen warning. When not at home or the office and iPad use becomes indispensable, I simply tether it to my iPhone 5's Personal Hotspot and its 4G pipe to the Internet. Will NOT pay twice for the same shît.

  • My iphon 5 said "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with ur phone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim card" what do i do???

    my iphon 5 said "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with ur phone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim card" what do i do??? i leave in diferent country now!!!???(((

    in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
    carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
    but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
    with the carrier this is called a sim lock
    the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
    the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years

  • How do i get the nano sim card for my unlocked iphone 5c to work on verizon

    I bought an iphone 5c from Apple last week, after my iphone 5 screen shattered. 
    I was told I could just insert the sim and follow the directions.  Turns out, that the one I purchased does not work with the phone/carrier.  Where can I get a nano sim card that will work in my iphone 5c on verizon network?

    I did not get the ATT or T-mobile phone. I boutght the SIM-Free phone,  which says it requires a GSM Compatible SIM.  Does this mean I cannot use any verizon sim in the phone? Or any unlock code?
    You bought the wrong model of iPhone. Return it and buy the model specifically for use with Verizon.
    Regards.

  • How will i be able to use my micro sim card from my iPhone 4s, in the nano sim card tray in the iphone 5?

    How will i be able to use my micro sim card from my iPhone 4s, in the nano sim card tray in the iphone 5?

    You can't. The nano SIM is 15% thinner compared to its previous two generations, so even if it is cut in the same size, the thickness would be different, meaning the cut micro SIM cannot fit into the nano SIM slot.

  • I restored my iphone 4s and now doesn't recognise the sim card what can i do?

    Was your iPhone hacked/jailbroken to be unlocked?
    If so, installing an iOS update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked or restoring such an iPhone with iTunes re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with.
    What is the exact error message - the SIM card is not supported?

  • HT1937 I buy the iphone5 from France and I go Egypt and I installed a SIM card but the iPhone tell me that the activation failed I rellay donot now what I do

    I buy the iphone5 from France and I go Egypt and I installed a SIM card but the iPhone tell me that the activation failed I rellay donot now what I do

    Sounds like the iPhone is locked to a wireless carrier in France.
    You will have to contact that carrier to see if they offer unlocking
    and if you qualify.
    What is the exact wording of the error message you receive when
    you try to activate the iPhone with your sim from Egypt?

  • Where do I get a nano SIM card for my iPad which works in the USA so I can use Tom Tom app

    Where do I get a nano SIM card for my iPad which will work in the USA.  I need to get on line in the car. Do I need one from AT&T  and can you get in the USA as easily as getting a sin card here.

    We don't know where "here" is.
    You don't need a sim card to use any navigation app. Navigation apps use GPS which is independent of cellular data.

  • My I Phone keeps sayins "no sims Card" in the upper left hand corner of the phone, what does that mean? And I can't connect to WI-FI right now, WhY?

    My I Phone 5 is saying "no Sims" card in the upper left hand cornor of the phone, what does that mean? And I can't get connected to Wi-Fi, why not???

    If the Wi-Fi diagnostics are okay then check your own Wi-Fi router to find out how many clients are connected. The number of clients may not matter but how much data Hogging is going on. If you have multiple computer Services accounts active Wi-Fi cannot handle that much. Examples would be two people playing World of Warcraft, Two people watching a Netflix movie or AppleTV movie, One person Downloading iTunes movies or music at the same time. That accounts for a lot of Wi-Fi usage.

  • Does the iPhone 5 come with a nano sim card for canadian carriers?

    If you pre-order the iPhone 5, does the box include the nano sim card?

    If you buy an iPhone that is locked to one of the carriers, then yes, it will come with the appropriate SIM. If you buy an unlocked iPhone, you will have to get a SIM from the carrier.
    Regards.
