    Default Cutting micro sim to nano

    Anyone know where I can get a
    Micro SIM card cut down to nano sim?
    Zoomers wireless wants $10 for a nano sim and $16 for shipping
    They suggested finding a place to get it cut down

    The Golden contact might be a little big on the micro. You can cut a bit into the edges of it, it'll still work. I just place a nano sim on top of the micro and snip around it with scissors. Done dozens of them and never had any failure

    Last time I changed phones and required a different sized sim card, the telus store in the mall gave me a new one for free. Maybe it's because I've been a long time telus customer, I don't know, but it didn't cost me a dime.

    Just cut it, very easy. you can get a template online which you can use to draw the lines...and cut it with some sharp scissors. You can cut into the metal a little, the chip is right in the middle so you won't damage anything.

    I did it with a utility knife. Easy peasy.

    I believe nano is also slightly thinner than micro; there's sites that suggest you sand it down a bit along with cutting too!

    Go to an apple store and get one for free. Say you ordered your phone online and need a sim for X.

    I did this for my Roam Mobility sim to fit in my iPhone 5 without any issues.
