The SIM slots in each phone are different. In some places there are auxiliary elements for removing the SIM card, but in others it is quite difficult to do this. However, owners of complex smartphones have already learned how to operate them using improvised means.
In the iPhone you will not find the usual SIM card slot, as in Androids. The manufacturer even includes a special paperclip with the kit, a key for opening the slot, which is most often located on the side (iphone 5). However, it may happen that the key is not included in the set. The first generations of Apple phones were produced without such an auxiliary tool at all, for example the iPhone S. Let's look at what a paper clip is for removing a SIM card, and how to remove a SIM card from an iPhone 4 (5.6) and how to insert a SIM card into the phone.
If you use improvised means incorrectly, you can cause serious damage, then the problem will be more serious than just “how to get a SIM card out of an iPhone.” Therefore, before you figure out how to open the slot with a paperclip and how to remove the SIM, try to find a special device that should come with your smartphone. Take out the factory box, perhaps it went unnoticed there when you unpacked the phone.
When you have found the key, follow the following strategy:
- Turn off your device. To do this, you need to press the power button, which is located at the top of the iPhone, and hold it for a while. You will see the message “Turn off” on the display. You need to scroll your finger across the inscription from left to right, and the device will turn off.
- Be sure to turn off the device before removing the SIM. If you do this while it is turned on, over time the phone will begin to glitch and freeze, since you are creating a system malfunction with such an action.
- After completing the work, find the SIM card slot on the side or top (depending on the iPhone generation).
- There is a small hole on the slot. You need to insert a special key into this hole, and the SIM card slot can be easily removed. Ready!
What to do if the SIM card is stuck
It often happens that the SIM card is stuck in the iPhone 6 and the slot does not open all the way. If this happens, do not despair and immediately take the device to a service center. You can solve this problem yourself at home.
So, how can a SIM get stuck? You insert the key, open the slot, try to pull out the slot along with the SIM, but you can’t do it because, for example, it is bent and creates an obstacle. How to remove the SIM card?
We fix problems
To fix problems, you will need a thin but tough plastic sheeting. You can find this one right in the iPhone box (the cords are wrapped in it).
- We take the device out of the box.
- Cut a small piece out of it so that there is an acute angle.
- We push the plate with a sharp angle into the open SIM card tray until it pries off the card.
- We hold the plate and the socket, pull it towards us and take out the tray, we figure out how to install the SIM card ourselves.
We take out the SIM with a paper clip
If the kit still did not include a key. Or you accidentally lost it, don’t be upset. This tool can be quite effectively and safely replaced for the phone with an ordinary paper clip.
To get a card with this stationery item, follow these steps:
- Take a paperclip and straighten one end.
- Locate the SIM slot on your iPhone and the hole next to it.
- Carefully insert the end of the paperclip directly into the hole and apply light pressure. You cannot use brute force, otherwise you can simply break the phone.
- When pressed, the slot opens automatically. Now you can pull it towards you and pull it out, or insert the SIM into the iPhone if the slot was empty. If you are wondering how to insert a nano SIM correctly, then you can simply cut it out from a regular SIM card. In general, almost all sims are now made with threads for micro and nano, that is, there is a frame from which you simply squeeze.
Precautionary measures
It is important to understand that the “sandwich” has some risk. The smartphone plate is not designed for such use and may not read the memory card and SIM card.
If glue gets on the chip or contacts of the SD drive, it needs to be cleaned off.
If for some reason the tray is stuck and does not open, it must be taken to service. It is impossible to get it yourself.
A few items you can use if you don't have a paper clip
You don't have a paper clip at home and you lost your iPhone key? No problem, don’t panic and run to the store for paper clips. You can use other items as an alternative. Here are the most common of them:
- Stapler staple. It can also be found in notebooks or notepads, as manufacturers staple the sheets together with them.
- Needle. An iPhone needle can be dangerous if you are not careful. The main thing is not to use needles that are too thin; there is a risk that they will bend inside the phone and break, leaving one end in the hole. It is most convenient to use a safety pin (a needle with a tip).
- Toothpick. Even though the device is made of wood, it can help you just as well as a paper clip. The main thing is not to break the tip or leave it inside the hole.
Depending on size
When cell phones first appeared in the lives of ordinary people, all SIM cards looked the same. The standard SIM card - mini - had a size of 25 by 15 millimeters and could be successfully inserted into any mobile phone of those times. But years have passed.
It was on their iPhone 4s that a MicroSIM slot appeared in 2010. And a little later, iPhones 5 series began to be produced for nano sim. It is worth noting that all products that provide 3G, LTE Internet and mobile communications, including iPad, are equipped with trays.
On Android devices there are combined connectors with MicroSD, we recommend that you refer to the instructions so as not to make a mistake.
Manufacturers are actively introducing eSIM technology - essentially a virtual SIM card that does not have a physical carrier. It has not yet become widespread in Russia due to legislation, but everything has its time.
Trim
When changing gadgets or buying a new tablet, you often have to cut the SIM card so that it fits in the new slot. A similar service can be provided in a store when purchasing equipment. You can do it yourself, you will need a template for this. Read more in this article.
The picture below shows how to reduce Mini to Micro.
Use adapter
In cases where the card needs to be extended, a special adapter is used. It is worth noting that today all mobile operators issue cards in three versions at once. It looks like a standard micro sim. It, in turn, must be carefully divided into mini and micro. The remaining pieces of plastic should not be thrown away. They will serve as an adapter from one format to another on occasion.
How to remove a SIM card: instructions
If the SIM card slot is located on the side or top of the phone, then using a sharp object, such as a paper clip or a needle, you can pull the SIM card slot plug out of the device body and then pull it out with your fingers.
If the SIM card is located inside the phone, this is a little more difficult to do. To do this you need:
- Turn off your mobile phone with a button specially designed for this purpose (usually on the top of the case or a button with the image of a “red handset”, which must be held for a few seconds).
- Open the cover on the back of the device.
- Pull out the battery by prying it with your fingernail or something sharp.
- Removing a SIM card is possible in several ways, depending on the manufacturer and model of your phone: a) pry the small cover of the SIM card compartment with something sharp and pull it out from the grooves of this cover; b) if the SIM card is located deep in the case itself, then also pry it out with a paper clip or toothpick and pull it out of the case.
- Perform all necessary operations with the SIM card and put it in place.
- Insert battery.
- Turn on the phone.
What can't you do?
So, now let’s talk about what you absolutely cannot do if you don’t know how to get a SIM card out of an iPhone 4. First, you need to carefully handle the object with which you will try to replace the key. Since the end may be sharp, do not press too hard to avoid causing damage. Also, do not apply excessive force so as not to break the key itself (or what replaces it). If something remains in the hole, it will be difficult to clean it later and remove the card from the phone.
In addition, you need to be careful with the slider itself when placing the card there. So, first you need to place the SIM card itself in the correct position. After that, making sure that everything is in order, you can close it, placing the card inside the case. For the phone to see the map, you need to reboot.
When buying a new or used iPhone, you need to insert a SIM card into it. How to do it?
When you start using a new phone, you definitely need to insert a SIM card into it or change it. Basically, to open the slot for placing a SIM card in it, you need to remove the back panel of the phone and take out the battery. But such an operation will not give you anything in the case of an iPhone. Therefore, many users have a completely reasonable question about how to get a SIM card from an iPhone.
We will look at the process using older iPhone models as an example. This can be done while the device is active, but it is recommended to turn it off. You will need a special key, somewhat reminiscent of a small paperclip.
It is inserted into the hole near the SIM card slot, which will open it. Next, remove the opened tray and replace the SIM card in it or insert a new one
If we talk about newer models, then their SIM card slot is located on the other side. And the operation process itself is no different
How to remove a SIM card from an iPhone
At the top of the mobile phone there is a special compartment in which a tray with a SIM card is inserted. When removing the SIM card, this allows you to avoid disassembling the device itself. In order to pull out the SIM card tray, you can use a special tool or a paper clip (toothpick). Using a needle is not recommended, as it can damage the phone device. Now you need to insert the SIM card back into the tray, and the tray into the iPhone.
The method of installing a SIM card, which was discussed above, is provided only for the first 3 iPhone models (iPhone 3G, iPhone 3Gs, iPhone), installing a SIM card in iPhone 4 is a little different:
- The SIM card connector has been moved to the right side from the top.
- Due to the fact that the fourth generation device only accepts micro-SIM, our standard card cannot be inserted into it. To insert a SIM card into such a phone, you need to cut it manually or buy a SIM card cutting kit that will turn your SIM card into a micro-SIM;
After placing the SIM card in any of the above options, “Signal level” and “Name of the cellular operator used” should appear in the upper left corner of the display. If this happens, then everything is fine. If the signal does not appear, then you need to find the “Operator” or “Network Settings” item in the “Settings” menu and check the box next to the “Automatic network search” item.
Today I will write about a painful topic, most likely millions of users. With the advent of new phone models, for some reason manufacturers wanted to change the SIM card slot itself. Changes in mobile devices have contributed to a change in the size of the SIM card, namely the large card gradually turned into micro and then nano. At first, the user tried to cut his SIM card himself using all kinds of manuals from the Internet. And here many operators decided, it would seem, to help the consumer by releasing universal cards for any format, after which adventures began, the SIM card began to get stuck in the tray, and it is not easy to remove it painlessly without special knowledge and skills. After reading this advice, you will find out in what cases you can get it out yourself, if it gets stuck and why this happened.
Suppose you accidentally installed an incorrectly cut universal card consisting of pre-cut frames (blank from the operator) into your phone. After trimming, the SIM card inevitably acquires burrs, and in the case of frames, discrepancies in the adapters. Imagine that this card somehow moved in the tray after being installed in the SIM holder, it will be difficult to get such a card. For owners of smartphones that have a combined SIM tray, I recommend reading this topic “” in one tray.
What happens if a SIM card that is stuck is pulled out incorrectly:
Please note in the picture below you can see that the SIM connector has six contacts, which in appearance resemble a fishhook, in simple terms, the contacts are tilted in one direction and if you insert a SIM card with burrs or with offset adapters into it, then when pulled out it can get stuck.
And if this happens, do not try to use force when removing such a SIM card, otherwise the least that will happen is that you will break the contacts, or in the worst case, damage the phone itself.
I recommend taking this phone to a normal specialist. If there are no such specialists nearby, and you still decide to remove the stuck SIM card from the device yourself, read on to the instructions itself.
How to remove a SIM card if it is stuck:
To perform this operation, you will need a small set of tools, which will include sharp tweezers, plus any strip of flexible and durable material. In my case, I used a piece of plastic bottle.
We take plastic and cut a strip of the required width for the SIM card connector slot or, as shown in the figure, for the width of the card we need, the length of this strip should be such that you can easily hold it with your fingers.
At this point, the preparation of our tools and devices can be considered complete.
Instructions for removing a SIM card that is stuck without disassembling the phone:
So, the device for pulling out in the form of a pre-prepared strip of thin and at the same time durable material is ready, in our case, as was said earlier (a strip from a plastic bottle), tweezers are in front of us. Let's start, take the plastic strip in our hands and try to slowly push it deep into the connector, between the SIM card and the card receiver, while trying to lift the SIM card itself, if it is in an additional frame, then that too. At the initial stage, we do not pull the SIM card towards ourselves, but rather push it as deep as possible, thereby freeing the outer contacts of the SIM holder from being pinched.
After you have managed to insert the plastic strip into the extreme position of the SIM holder, take tweezers in your hands and slowly try to get the SIM card, in cases with an adapter and it (we carry out these actions without fanaticism, if it doesn’t work, we correct the plastic lining).
This method is suitable for any phone in which a SIM card or any other card is stuck. The main task is to ensure that our gasket fits between the spring-shaped contacts (hooks) and the SIM card itself, thereby opening the engagement.
This concludes our short instructions on how to remove a stuck SIM card. If you identify such a malfunction, I recommend that you contact specialized workshops, and if there are none, use these instructions very carefully, without fanaticism, with the utmost care. You can find similar instructions in the “” section, where topics with various tips will be posted, both on computer and mobile topics. If you have any questions, write to the "" form. With respect to you!
What should you do if you have an iPhone and strong strangers ask you for your phone so they can insert their SIM card and make a call? But you can’t refuse them, because calling your mom is sacred? Or are you changing mobile operator? Or are you simply selling your Apple device and need to get your SIM card? It would seem like an elementary operation, but difficulties can arise with it.
Installation
Disable the tablet. Before you begin installing a SIM card, carefully read the instructions for your device. The whole process should be described there in detail and with pictures. Find the tray cover on the device body. Usually it is on the side. Less often on the back wall. On cheap models - under the battery. Unsnap the lid. By pressing, picking, or using a special key. Place the SIM card in the tray
It is always made according to its shape, pay attention to the “corner”. The main thing is to install it the right way
As a rule, it should “look” with the chip towards the back of the device. Sometimes there is a drawing on the body of the correct location. There are cases when a special metal frame (tray) is missing. On such devices, you just need to insert the SIM card into the hole indicated by the picture until it clicks. Snap the cover back. Turn on the gadget and make sure that it recognizes the mobile operator (the name and icons 3G, 4G, LTE, Egde will appear).
How to insert or remove a SIM card on various iPhone, iPad models
It’s worth mentioning right away that SIM cards are inserted into the iPhone using a special small container. It is securely fixed in the case along with the operator communication chip. This “box” for a SIM card is usually located on the side panel of the device, and can be located at the top or bottom. Only a few Apple devices (iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G) had a SIM card slot built into the top of the phone.
The appearance of the container is practically unchanged. It is a compartment with a hole for a special key.
On the right side we find a SIM card slot with a hole for the key
So, the key must be inserted into the hole and press lightly. You need to apply force carefully, since the Apple device is stuffed with boards and chips from top to bottom. And they are very easily damaged by any scratch.
The key used to remove the SIM card slot
Most likely, the container will give in almost immediately and “jump out” as soon as you use a special spring.
Using the key, pull out the container with the SIM card
The question immediately arises: where can I get the key? Often, phone manufacturers, and Apple is no exception, put SIM card slot openers in the box with the device and secure it so as not to scratch the device during transportation.
We find the key in the box with the device
But if you didn’t find such a gift in the box, don’t despair. To open a slot, you can use any item that has similar physical and geometric characteristics. The most popular choice for opening the SIM slot is a regular paper clip.
Paper clips used to open and remove the SIM card tray
A special key, like a paper clip, can be replaced with anything. For example, a needle (use only the blunt end), a toothpick, a piece of stiff wire, etc.
And the operation can be successfully carried out without a special key.
Do not use brute force, press too hard or try to pry out the container with a knife.
Most likely, this will lead to disastrous consequences and ruin the integrity of the case.

How to remove a SIM card from an iPhone if it's stuck inside
Unfortunately, cases of SIM cards getting stuck in iPhones are not uncommon. This is especially true for so-called cut and self-cut SIM cards in 3FF and 4FF formats.
SIM cards of 2FFm 3FF and 4FF formats, which are used when operating smartphones
If the SIM card is stuck, you must try to put it back in the tray, and then repeat the operation of pulling out the slot:
- shake your phone: perhaps the SIM card will snap into place immediately;
- try the procedure of opening and closing the SIM container a couple of times;
- Find a small piece of thick plastic film or very thin plastic. Using scissors, cut it to a strip, slightly narrower than the SIM card slot. Try, by pushing this “tool” into the slot between the container and the phone, to put the SIM card back into place in the tray. When you feel that the card is in place, carefully try to open the container again.
Video: how to remove a SIM card if the container is stuck
If the SIM card container does not move at all
If the SIM card slot does not respond at all to your attempts to open it, you will not be able to avoid contacting a service center. Such a problem can only be solved by completely opening the device, and without specialized skills and tools, the likelihood of damage to the device is extremely high. It is important to remember that service centers, along with support services, are created to help users and collect information on defects and bugs in devices. So, by contacting specialized branches, you are also helping companies make their products better and safer for you.
Removing the SIM card from your Apple device is easy. If you have problems with this, do not panic and immediately rush to the service center. All you need is patience and a little skill, and you can cope with even the most difficult task.
An iPhone is expensive, which instinctively forces the owner to treat it with care so as not to accidentally damage anything.
Many people put a SIM card right in the store when purchasing, they don’t pay attention to it, and when they need to get a SIM card, difficulties arise.
We are used to the fact that when we remove the back cover we immediately see it and can easily pull it out, but this is not the case with the iPhone.
The SIM card is located in a special tray, which is impossible to open simply by hand without a key, paper clip, needle or other similar devices.
Is it good or bad? The good thing is that if you need to take out the SIM card, you don’t have to disassemble the phone.
It’s bad - if you have to pull it outside the house, you may not have the tool. Finding it usually isn’t a problem, but you still have to spend time.
NOTE: in iPhone 5s, iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 4 s, iPhone 7, iPhone 6s plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 8, the slot is located on the side or only in 3 models in the end part at the top.
Install and connect the SIM card in the tablet
First, you need to determine which SIM card your device supports. Today, there are several types of SIM cards for tablets: regular SIM, miniSIM, microSIM and nanoSIM. They differ only in size, and are listed in order of decreasing dimensions. The most common today are microSIM.
Installing a SIM card is sometimes not so easy, in order to understand how to insert a SIM card into the tablet and avoid any problems, use the instructions:
1. Before installing the SIM card, turn off the device and (for convenience) place the tablet on a smooth surface with the display down. Make sure the surface is clean and will not scratch the screen.
2. As a rule, there is a SIM card slot on the bottom or side of the tablet (check the instructions), often it is located next to other slots or buttons
Pay attention to the design of the socket access system; you may need to use a special key-clip that comes with the tablet. How to insert a SIM card into a tablet using this key? There will be a small hole next to the socket; when you press the key into this hole, the SIM card slot will slide out, then you need to place the SIM in the special tray that slides out
If there is no hole, it’s even clearer how to insert a SIM card into the tablet: just move the slot flap, pull out the SIM card holder, insert the SIM card from the holder up with the contacts.
3. Push in the tray or holder, put the flap in place (if it is not installed automatically when the holder is pushed in), turn on the tablet and check the connection.
If the SIM card was installed correctly, the question of how to remove the SIM card from the tablet should not arise - just perform all the above steps in reverse order. If something went wrong during installation, it will not be so easy to get the SIM; you will have to use tweezers to pick it up and pull it out.

How to get a SIM card stuck in an iPhone
Rarely, but situations still occur when a SIM card gets stuck in the tray and does not want to leave its warm place.
This is not a mass phenomenon and most often this happens when the SIM card is inserted incorrectly and the tray is forcibly closed.
Naturally, the most reliable option is to go to a service center, but such a desire is usually absent.
Even if the SIM card is stuck, the slot usually extends a couple of millimeters and in most cases it can be opened completely.
The work is, of course, a piece of jewelry, so if you don’t have sensitivity in your hands, then it’s better not to take it on. If you decide, then you will need something strong, narrow and very thin.
Then this tool needs to be inserted into the iPhone slot from the screen side, and then slowly pull out the slot.
Forced extraction may not work right away, but the problem can be solved - persistence and work will grind everything down.
Just don’t push the “tool” deep - this can damage some elements.
Sometimes the SIM card can take the correct position in the tray if the iPhone is lightly knocked on the table
If the slot does not extend at all (the SIM card is stuck tightly), then most likely you cannot do without service.
A forcible attempt to open the litter box can lead to very bad consequences - you do not want to damage your pet even more. Good luck.
When your SIM card gets stuck...
Did you try the paperclip trick and the tray came out, but you couldn't pull it out completely? Most likely, the problem is the SIM card, which did not fit properly in the tray, preventing the tray from being removed from the slot. The main thing at this stage is not to be nervous: if you try to remove the SIM card using physical force, you risk breaking the mechanism. In this case, even if the tray fits back into the slot, it will not stay in it, and you will have to fix it in the case with tape or tape.
Better take a needle or blade and try to position the SIM card so that it does not interfere with movement while you remove the tray. Yes, the work is painstaking and can take a lot of time, but this problem is completely solvable if you have a little patience and show a little skill. Just don’t push the needle too deep inside the body: there are other parts and elements there that can easily be damaged by a careless movement.
You can also simply tap the gadget on a table or other surface: if the card is held loosely in the tray, this can help it return to the desired position and help you pull out the tray completely.
