In fact, a SIM card is a miniature computer with a microprocessor, which is controlled by commands transmitted by pressing the buttons on the phone keypad. This device also allows you to identify your telephone. With its help, the subscriber gets the opportunity to make calls, send and receive messages, use additional services. Like any device, the card can break. In addition, it sometimes needs to be replaced. The answer to the question of how to remove a SIM card depends on the type of your phone.
Instructions
Step 1
The set of Apple smartphones: iPhone and iPad includes a special tool for removing the SIM card tray. As a last resort, if it is not at hand, replace it with a regular paper clip. To do this, you need to unbend one end of it. Find a small hole on the top of the iPhone and insert the tip of a paper clip or a special key into it, press lightly - the SIM card will fall out of the phone.
Step 2
To remove the SIM card from the iPad, place the smartphone on the front panel. Find the hole on the side panel and insert the SIM eject tool into it at an angle of about 45 degrees. Insert the tool all the way - the tray will partially extend, pull it all the way and remove the card.
Step 3
Before removing the SIM card from a regular phone, turn it off. A separate switch button is available only for Nokia models. Unlock your phone and press this button, which is usually located on the top end. Phones of other manufacturers are turned off if you hold down the button, which shows a red handset.
Step 4
Remove the back cover of the phone. There is a battery under it. Gently pull it out with your finger. Under the battery, you will see a SIM card attached to its slot. It is fastened in different ways, carefully examine the fastening device so as not to damage it when removing the SIM card. Sometimes the phones use clamping frames, grilles.
