Go to an Apple Store or you're wireless carrier store to have them properly remove the SIM card.

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

PLEASE PLEASE HELP! My SIM card tray is stuck in my iPhone!

I accidentally put my SIM tray in backwards, yes I know stupid, and now it *****! I got the top part out, but the bottom part is still stuck in the phone!!!!
How do I get it out?
Will Apple fix it, i'm still under warranty.

Find the Apple Store nearest you online...then go see a Genious. They are super nice. also, you might be able to set up an appointment online, in a chat with someone from Apple or you could get the number (800.694.7466) and call them to set up an appointment or get tech help...if you call from someone elses phone or a pay phone (if they still have those?) it's a free call

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.

Nano-simcard stuck in the sim-card tray :(

I've gotten a nano-sim stuck in the sim-card tray. Is there any way to get it out?

Hi Klingenberg,
The best thing that we can suggest you to do is to bring the phone to the nearest Nokia Care Center. They will be able to help you physically in removing the SIM stuck on the SIM card tray and avoid further physical damage on it.

My brother purchased new ipad 4, 5 days ago and the sim tray stuck very first day. I gave it to jaipur service centre for repair and they are asking for 20000 Rs (price of ipad mini for just sim tray repair). What should i do?

Dear All,
My brother just purchased an ipad4, 5 days ago and the very first day sim tray stuck. When i sent it to jaipur (rajasthan) service centre, they asked Rs 20,000 for repair and issuing new tray. This is the cost of new ipad mini, and they are giving me just one tray. It is also approx. half of the price of new ipad4. Even the new ipad is just 5 days old and should be repaired for free. If not free, is Rs 20,000 is fair?
Please tell me what should i do?
Thanks!

If the service center determined that the SIM socket was damaged by your brother, as would appear to be the case, and not due to a factory defect, they will charge for replacing the entire iPad, not just for the SIM tray. Apple at this time replaces the iPad for just about any problem, and charges a flat fee for doing so.
If this service center is one authorized by Apple, your brother can try calling Apple Support India at (91) 1800 4250 744 and discussing the situation with them. Ultimately, though, it is the technician's judgement as to what caused the problem, and Apple will usually take the word of the technician when it comes to determination of user-caused damage.
Regards.

Sim card tray stuck

i got a new iphone for christmas, but when i used the sim tray opener thing nothing hsappened. the thing you open the sim card tray with seems to be too small. i looked at clips and read about how to open the tray, but when we copied what was said the tray just remained closed. help please!

Try using paperclips. It always does the tricks.

My sim got stuck in my Iphoen with out the tray !

I acdentally got my sim card stuck in my Iphone5. I took it to a phone shop and the guy said there was no way I could get it out, unless I took it to this one shop where they rip open your phone.. That sounds like a bad idea though... Any help? Please!
Would it coast anything if Apple could take it out?

Go to an Apple store and have them look at it for you

IPhone 3G Sim Tray

On my iPhone I inserted the SIM Card tray the wrong way, and it got stuck. I tried to take it out [insert the opening tool etc]...
I managed to force it out but the bottom of the tray is missing! It is still in the iPhone!
What do I need to do? Send it to the Apple Store or what? I purchased it from a shop in France which gave me a guarantee.

Well this is end user damage and not covered by any warranty, but you are in luck that Apple store have sim trays in stock. They will have to open your iPhone up to get the pieces out I am afraid. I would suggest you not go probing around in there with any thing. That could make the problem way worse. You next move should be straight to the Apple store.
Now that I have seen this issue more than once I am wondering how a person does this. The sim tray has an obvious outside, and the tiny hole goes next to the headphone jack. If you are going to take something apart you should inspect it before hand to ensure you put it back as it was in the first place.

Can't *insert* SIM card in iPhone... stuck... ?!

A friend of mine has a new phone that I wanted to try out for a day or two.
I popped the SIM card out of my iPhone, it came out fine, just like normal.
But now when I try to re-insert the SIM card, the tray will go 95% of the way down and I simply can't press it down any more. There's some kind of mechanical obstruction on the side of the paperclip hole. The spring assembly seems stuck or broken. When I push a paperclip in, there's no action, it just hits a hard, immobile surface.
I have tried to use a flashlight to see what's going on, but the slot is too small for me to see anything meaningful. At least not when I don't know what I'm looking for.
Please help! Thank you!

Just use this article to verify you have the SIM and card holder lined up correctly.

If you are lining it up correctly and the issue persists, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.
