Sometimes the SIM card needs to be cut because its size is not suitable for your phone. When you want to use an unlocked phone or operate your mobile phone with dual SIM cards, you need to know how to deal with the SIM card.

The process of cutting a SIM card may appear simple, but you must be very careful because any damage to the SIM card may render it unusable. Because there are many security features built into the SIM cards. You will be able to cut a SIM card and place it in your mobile phone in few minutes with the proper tools, for example the SIM card cutter adapter.

Instructions:

1. First, you need to purchase a new SIM card if you plan on unlocking the phone or using a dual SIM cards phone. It is best for you to go to a physical store to purchase the SIM card. You can ask for after-sales service and you can get the SIM card immediately.

2. Purchase a SIM card cutting tool. The SIM card cutting kits may ensure you get a precise cut without risk of damaging the SIM card. But if you want to cut the SIM card by yourself, you can only purchase a cut tool and that only cost 7 dollars. The cutting tools include SIM card, alignment tools and the cutter. It would cost closer to $15-$20.

3. Doing a test with the paper and cutter. Insert a piece of paper in the SIM card cutter and have a test on it. The test is going to make sure everything with the cutter is OK. Once you cut your SIM card in the wrong way, you cannot undo the process.

4. Insert the SIM card into the SIM card cutter and make sure the gold information chip is on the top side. Close the SIM card cutter carefully until you hear a snapping sound. Remove the SIM card and determine the cut.

5. Insert the second SIM card into the SIM card cutter if you want to use dual SIM cards cell phone. Insert the secondary SIM card the same way you did with the first SIM card to ensure a duplicate shape and size.

6. Insert both the 2 cards in to SIM card adapter. Slide one card into the SIM card adapter and insert the other one on top or with the same type adapter, depending on the adapter you purchased and your purpose of the project.

Tips & Warnings:

Some products on the market will allow you to use dual SIM cards without cutting. But using a SIM card cutter is still the most effective way to ensure your cell phone recognizes the SIM cards.
