Sometimes you’re stuck with a brand new microSIM that you can’t use in your phone, because you need a normal form factor SIM, but maybe you had this chance to activate a special promotion that only came in microsim format.
Well do not despair, you can get a normal SIM (-ish) from a microSIM, just DON’T remove the microsim from its matrix just yet!
This is what we are going to get at the endOur micro-SIM in its credit-card like holder, compared to a standard SIM cardAfter aligning the correct contacts of SIM and micro-SIM, I used insulating tape to mark the side borders of the new SIM cardI did the same thing with upper and lower borders, aligning the microSIM and SIM through their chipsThis is the rough result after cropping the external borders with an exacto knife guided by a ruler, slightly bigger but centered nonethelessAfter cutting the angle, I used a dremel to round the corners
The SIM card works perfectly inside my Galaxy Note, just slightly harder to plug inside but once inserted it goes as a charm.
