hey guys I'm here at TechShop and you might have noticed that the SIM card is shrinking a little it's helped some Micro SIM format and a lot of international phones and even things like the iPad an iPhone use this format it looks like a SIM card it actually has the same chip as a regular SIM card but it's just smaller so if you want to open yourself up to a wider variety of phones from overseas or you want to unlock your iPhone and use the service provider like t-mobile you'll have to get this Micro SIM format but if you already have a regular-sized SIM you can just cut it down you can take it to a carrier store and they'll do it for you or hello you can do it yourself so let's go ahead and do that you'll need scissors double-sided tape a template like this which you can find at the link right here and your SIM card that you want to cut down so to get started we'll cut a tiny piece of double-sided tape and we're going to use this to stick the template to the larger size SIM card all right now we'll stick the template right on top this is great it makes things a lot easier all right I think that looks pretty good now what we have to do is cut it out we'll just follow along these dotted lines you want a pair of good sharp scissors boom okay okay now we need to cut off that little corner there you go so let's peel off our template all right oh and I realize there's one more thing you'll need a file now I'm at TechShop so I'm using this super profile but if you have a nail file at home just use that you just want to soften up the edges a little bit you can fix your nails a little bit while you're at it I think we're good to go now let's see if it works pop out the trades my iphone all right line it up here we go perfect it fits perfectly so let's go ahead and put them the iPhones all right it's in and I know it works because my iPhone isn't telling me that there's no sim card installed all right and if you ever need to put your micro sim back in a phone that requires a regular-sized card you can just use one of these adapters they cost a couple bucks online okay if you have any tips send them to me on twitter at sharon back or always on at Cena comm okay Molly I know that you went to t-mobile to get your sim card cut but now you know next time you can do it yourself
