New Sprint iPhone 5 nano SIM - is it removable?

Does anyone know for certain if the Sprint iPhone will have a removeable nano SIM (like the 4S has a removable micro SIM)?  I had read some rumors that it would be non-removeable, which means any world roaming would incur huge roaming charges to Sprint, as opposed to popping in a SIM from another carrier.

Thank you!! I knew they were the same size, but I just called again to a different rep who said the same thing- they are not interchangeable (she said flat out that if I put the nano sim from my iPhone 5s into the Moto X it will not work or be able to activate)... She couldn't explain exactly why except that "Apple" nano sims are singular and don't work in other devices.
I hope you are right and wouldn't mind the voicemail thing as long as I could interchange them easily :)
Thanks again! I am wondering if anyone has tried it?

  • Where can I buy a nano sim for the new iPhone 5

    Hi all,
    I have just ordered a new iPhone 5 from the apple website and it comes as an unlocked phone. Therefore I need to buy a new 'nano sim' to fit the new phone.
    Does anyone know where and how I go about doing this?
    I've seen that vodaphone have apparently got 500,000 of these new Nano sims in stock, but are they only for people who have bought the phone through them?
    Do you know any other networks or providers that are selling the nano sim, even if you haven't purchased the phone from them?
    Any advice or tips would be much appreiciated.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Which is why in the UK it is not really worth purchasing an iPhone directly from Apple - it's a no brainer.  You should always purchase through the phone companies themselves and you'll get a much better deal always.
    I have been with 02 on a contract since I had my first iPhone and have always upgraded for less than half the cost of the iPhone directly from Apple.
    I really don't understand why someone would want to spend at least £525 to £600 on a phone from Apple when you could get it for less than half the cost with the UK phone companies, unless of course money is no object!
    Where do you get your information from?

  • I have just pre ordered the new iphone 5 it didn't give me an option to tell them what carrier im with? will it come with a nano sim?

    They've created a new SIM for this phone--the micro-SIM.  Different SIM tray and all.  If you ordered from Apple.com selecting the carrier was step two of the process.
    iPhone 5 confirmed to use nano-SIM, current SIMs not compatible.
    The "Micro SIM" is too large to fit in the iPhone 5.

  • I have a iPhone 4 micro sim and I plan on getting a iPhone 5 and would I be able to change my current micro sim to the new nano sim by my carrier ?

    Call your carrier and ask if they will be furnishing nano sims. If not, get out the sandpaper, cutting tools & search Google for how to cut a micro sim down to nano sim size. You will also need to sand down the thickness. I suggest you get several sims to practice on.

  • Brand new iPhone 5c upgrade says 'no service' when nano sim is inserted.

    Hi,
    My brother's HTC contract ran out so he got an iPhone 5C last night.  He didn't change networks or change his number and the salesman said that the new sim card he gave him would be ready to go when he put it in the phone with the same number etc.  When he got it home he put the nano sim into the new phone but it just says 'no service' at the top left of the screen.  Has anyone else encountered this?
    He's tried restarting the phone and enabling/disabling aeroplane mode as other forums suggested.

    the salesman said that the new sim card he gave him would be ready to go when he put it in the phone with the same number etc.
    I would suggest that  just didn't happen call the Carrier customer support and find out the issue

  • Could any one tell me nano sim can be cut from Normal sim like micro sim. I heard new iPhone uses nano sim

    Hi All,
             My friend told me he will get unlocked new iPhone on first week of launch .He is in Canada and i am in India. I heard new iPhone features nano sim. It is possible to cut nano sim from normal sim like we do for micro sim. iPhone releases in India only in November so if we cant get nano sim  from normal sim , then i have to postponed my new iPhone purchase

    No one here knows Apple's plans regarding any new iPhone & what type of sim that phone may or may not use. As to whether a Mico sim can be cut down to Nano size, the answer is yes. I suspect cutters will appear on the market shortly after such is released.
    The real question you should be asking is why, if you live India, are you looking to purchase an iPhone anywhere else other than India. iPhone warranty & support is country specific, only valid in country of original purchase. You purchase an iPhone in Canada, you prepared to physically bring the phone back to Canada for ALL warranty & support issues? You can't mail it back to Apple. Makes no sense to me.

  • HT1316 I have a sprint sim card but its locked and i don't remember the apple id for it. If i buy a new sprint sim card will I still have to put in the apple id? Or is the iPhone no good?

    I have a sprint sim card but its locked and i don't remember the apple id for it. If i buy a new sprint sim card will I still have to put in the apple id? Or is the iPhone no good?

    If you have iOS 7 and have turned on Find My Phone in Settings > iCloud, you will have to remember the Apple ID to unlock the iPhone...the Activation Lock is an anti-theft protection that you cannot bypass.
    The only hope you have is to take it and proof that you are the owner to an  Apple store genius bar and see if there is anything they can do.  In general the answer is no, but give it a try.

  • How can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

    how can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

    Sync the phone with the regular sim to the appropriate program on your
    computer. When you set up the iPhone 5 in iTunes on that computer, you
    will be offered the chance to import the contacts, etc.
    Or take old phone and new iPhone to your wireless provider. They have the
    equipment to do this quickly.

  • How To Do The Unlocking Process On AT&T Iphone 5 Without The Original Nano Sim?

And after the "contract is finished" my sister avail another newer model of iphone from AT&T and she send the iphone 5 to me, here in Philippines, without the original nano sim. her son get the original nano sim of this iphone, and end up in the thrash can when her son avail newer version of iphone TOO fro AT&T... I ask my sister to contact AT&t to unlock this phone so that i can use in our country. She comply and contact AT&T for a request to unlock this device, and AT&T replied to the request. After a day AT&T send the "UNLOCKING PROCESS" to my sister. She email me the Unlocking Process sent by AT&T.  I tried to unlock the device using the unlocking process sent by AT&T and the methods on the apple site >> iPhone: About unlocking but, to my dismay itunes and the iphone always respond me with the message "ACTIVATION REQUIRED" and "INVALID SIM" after restoring the device in itunes to IOS 8.0.2 or doing the the unlocking process.
    Is there any other way to unlock this "Iphone" without its original sim?

  • How to remove nano sim card from micro sim slot of Z3

    I mistakenly put nano sim card in my new bb Z3 im unable to remove it plz help me out in this issue

    You will have to be very careful. You may be able to use an exacto knife to remove the nano sim. However, it is highly likely you will, if you haven't already, damage the sim card reader. You may have to disassemble the device and even then sometimes it's not possible to remove it without damaging the sim card reader.

  • Using iPad mini nano sim in iphone 6

    I Currently have an iPad mini with the unlimited AT&T data plan that I'm grandfathered in for. The screen recently cracked, and I was thinking of getting the iphone 6 plus without a contract or SIM card....and then putting my iPad mini nano SIM card into the iphone 6 plus....and using it like I do my iPad mini....for data only.
    will this be possible? will it recognize the iphone 6 as an iPad mini? I don't want to use the iphone 6 as a phone. Just want to use it as an iPad mini replacement.
    THanks for any and all comments.

    Incorrect.  The phone requires a SIM card to activate, after which the SIM card can be removed in order to use it like an iPod Touch.  See this:

  • Iphone 5 has nano-sim, will the stores have extra to swap lines?

    So the new iphone will use a nano-sim.  For those who are doing an alternate upgrade, will the stores have the new sim cards to swap us out and switch our phones to the other line?

    They do in their LTE phones, but they are micro-sims.  The new iPhone uses a nano-sim, so I hope they have plenty.
