sougatadc 358 Report post Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) I bought a micro-SIM cutter from ebay to cut my MTS RUIM for my S3 and three Moto Razr handsets of my friends. When iPhone5 started to infiltrate through Parin, I thought how people will have a nano SIM for the handsets. But my confusion was cleared when I saw a nano-SIM cutter at Parin's place that day. . Avishek's Pantech Burst also uses micro-SIM. He doesn't want to use a cut SIM on his handset. So he contacted the AirTel guys for an official micro-SIM. Now the AirTel played the spoilsport by sending a nano-SIM instead of a micro-SIM. This story began from there AirTel appears to be over-prepared for iPhone5 Edited November 5, 2012 by sougatadc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean if a nano SIM card can be replaced by a normal or micro SIM card or one need a nano SIM card to replace the same ? do not know much abuot nano SIM, but there are Micro SIM adapters available in market, using those adapters micro SIMs can be used on phones or data cards which uses normal or MINI SIMs. i too believe that. in the begenning we had phones where we had to insert the whole card into the phone and the card was of the size of a business card. reminds me of the days when i had Siemens S3 Com (Essar) or Nokia 1610 (Ushafone) or Motorola StarTac (Imported)..

mroy 1 Report post Posted May 24, 2014 I plan to purchase the HTC Desire 816 DS once it is released in India. I have a Reliance CDMA connection. Are Nano sim available for Reliance CDMA? I understand that you cannot cut up a regular sim card to make a nano-sim, since nano sims are thinner? Regards Madhabi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolblue 10 Report post Posted May 25, 2014 Nano cutter is also available in OM(OPEN MARKET). Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2 Vodafone Delhi is now selling 3G ready smart sims as shown in the picture below. You dont need a sim cutter or adapter anymore. These smart SIM can be used as a normal sim or micro sim. For nano sims a cutter can be purchased from Ebay etc or local shops and vodafone/airtel stores can help in cutting them. They are better equipped in cutting SIMs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk In Delhi I could see only Vodafone selling these type of SIMS. I recently bought airtel SIM. I have IDEA sim as well but no body is selling such SIMs. Meanwhile, I personally I don't like these SIMs and feel there should be a separate micro SIM. The companies are migrating to these SIMs to do cost cutting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
