WIND sim card normal, micro or nano

Hi sretlow, did you end up changing your SIM or did you manage to cut it down? I'm facing the same dilemma this week.

Thanks

I went to a small mobile shop in Amalfi and they cut the SIM for me.

Even used a nail file afterwards to make sure it fit.

Thanks wco81

I've just ordered a sim cutter as I want it to be ready to use as soon as I cross the border from France! Just hope the sim works in my ipad - been using it in an iphone for the last couple of years so hopefully it will be ok. Also activated my internet plan today - roll on Friday!

I ordered one too because it was cheap. But it doesn't cut it perfectly to size.

I packed it on my trip even though it was kind of heavy.

Turned out the people at the store were prepared, because most newer devices are now using micro or nano SIMs. So this store at least had a cutter and a nail file to make it fit.

I have trimmed five SIMS using a cutter, from MINI (2FF) to MICRO (3FF), all without problems. The problem is with NANO (4FF) because they are also thinner.
