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

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

I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?
Carphone warehouse does not sell unlocked phones. The phones they sell will only activate with a UK carrier and will lock to the UK carrier used to activate it. You can not use that phone on an Irish network. Return it and buy an unlocked phone directly from Apple or one intended for use on the network you intend to us in Ireland.

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

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.

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 -

HT4528 Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where is it.
Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where
I you have an iPhone you have it ALL!
OK I think I can help you on this one, I think there is a missconception on the terminology, if the iPhone is from AT&T it does have a SIM card tray, you will find it on the left side of the iPhone. All you need is the key insert it in the little hole and it pops out.
If the iPhone 4 is from Verizon it DOES NOT have a sim card tray.
What the sales person told your sister is accurate, the iPhone does not have a slot for an SD card which is an "storage" card mainly used to store all sorts of data such as pictures, videos and more.
Locally the iphone has lots of storage capacity so your sister wont have the necesity of ever expanding her cellphone memory for the very reason of that she has the best cellular device in the market which is an IPHONE!
I don't think she will ever fill up her iphone's memory.
Here is what I found in effort to expand the differences between the SD card and SIM card
-Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba for use in portable devices to store data.
-A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones andcomputers).
I hope this helps your sister. -
SIM CARD TRAY BROKEN INSIDE IPHONE
Ok, here's the problem, I took out my sim card tray to try a new sim. However I managed to put the tray back in the wrong way. I managed to get the tray back out about a third of the way and remove the sim but then the tray broke. My phone is no longer under warranty so should I just remove the back casing and get the broken tray out or send it off for repair? I watched a few videos on youtube so getting the back off doesnt seem a problem I just don't want to damage any electronics inside. (WHY BUILD A SIM TRAY SO FLIMSY IN THE FIRST PLACE???)
Any help much appreciated. I live in the UK so how much would a repair like this cost?You could try making an appointment at an Apple store, the geniuses have tools to get the sim try out without damage...I know you're out of warranty, but if you're nice, you never know, they just might do it for you. Otherwise, google third party repair services in your area...unless you're skilled at working with micro electronics don't mess with it yourself.

Can I take out my SIM card tray while my phone is turned on? Or does it need to be turned off?
Either is OK. You can remove the SIM Tray with the iPhone ON or OFF.

Recently I wanted to figure out where the sim card was on the iPhone.... i searched online and they were like stick a toothpick or paperclip inside the slot and u pull out the sim tray.
so i followed the instructions which is really simple
in the sim tray there is a sim card. so i tried it in my old phone and it worked perfectly and i figured this would be good in the future just in case my iphone were to break.. so i put the sim tray back in the phone then the other i wanted to use it again and the toothpick i used broke inside the slot and now i cannot pull out sim card tray again and now im worried that i might have voided my warranty by doing so... and im also worried that i will not be able to get out the simcard... plz give me advicebob12369 wrote:

Dont worry. Just light a match, and set fire to whatever is left in the hole. -
