Sim card question

Diddums · 14 Jun 2015 at 12:45

Got my brother in law over here on holiday. He has a filthy forriner sim card in his Galaxy Zoom. I dropped his phone yesterday and broke it. I had an unopened iphone 5 lying here so I've given that to him but Apple being Apple use nano sims instead of micro sims. Being so far from home he's got no option of getting the sim changed.

Apparently sim cloning gadgets exist but also apparently this is illegal. Shall I just get a cheapo copier from ebay and go for it? Is this a prosecutable offence?

You can get a sim card cutter for very little money, cut it down from micro to nano

You can even cut it down with a pair of decent scissors or a sharp knife, I've done it quite a few times where I couldn't get a SIM quickly. Although of course it's a much higher risk when you can't just walk to the local Vodafone shop and get a new one if you do it wrong.

BTW it's not 'Apple being Apple' - most manufacturers use nano SIMs now.

Easy to cut to right size with scissors

He's right though. They suck big time. The only people who suck harder are the hipsters who buy their products.

Looks like my bait has caught an Apple hipster. Sit back folks as I reel him in.

Shame. I had plotted your downfall but now my plan is in ruins.

Haha, what bait do you use to catch sheep? I assume you also have a proprietary hook?

I am Welsh and the amount it rains here sheep are now classed as semi aquatic.

I heard they're amphibious. Though I suppose gills help them breath whilst the locals have their fun.

I will have you know that sheep make very passionate and loving partners!

Especially when you get them on the edge of the mountain so they push back harder. Or so a Welsh friend told me

Diddums · 14 Jun 2015 at 14:29

Cool, I'll just clip it then, thanks.

I don't want to take sides in the apple loving / disliking thing but what I will say is that there was a reason I had a brand new, unopened iphone 5 in my bedside drawer and a well used Note 3 in my pocket
