Is this cutting of sim cards safe? This doesn't affect the actual usage or connectivity in any way? The gold plate is cut but it's still 100% usable?

Wait! You aren't cutting the gold plate, as far as I know. Only the plastic that surrounds it. And yes, amazing as it sounds, it works. We needed the tiny bit of sandpaper (included) to get the edges smoothed, but it fits fine in the new phone and phone is fine.

i have used devices like this in two occasions, and in both instances it worked perfectly for me. My "new" nano sims worked perfectly and were 100% usable.

You will be cutting some of the "gold" part of the sim car. Very little of that area is actually important so its ok to cut some/most of it like these card cutters do.

Hi all, about SIM Card Slot, this is also still a mistery for me. I chatted with 2 of Samsung's customer service staff in 2 different occassions. Each staff gave me different answer. First I was told that it is an operational slot for SIM Card. The second one told me that there's a slot but not operational for my Slate model. How many models are there?

I have a SIM card in mine as well, I had no problems whatsoever with the NFC.

So does that mean I can't insert the sim that is in my prepaid T-Mobile Razor that I am trying to replace? Or will it work as they are both T-Mobile? Thanks in advance.

I bought a "sim card cutter"--a cheap stapler looking thing that works fine (used it 6 times successfully). They cost about 8.00 USD online and are effective.

I am trying to use this device with a full size Sim on gsm network in India. If tried the 3 biggest carriers but always get a 'no Sim found error'.I looked at a YouTube video and I'm definitely inserting the Sim card right.So based on my experience, this phone does not work with gsm carriers.If anyone has any tips or suggestion, they would be greatly appreciated !!

There was no mention of the SIM cards ever expiring as they are only activated once you send the text. Whoever stocks them would otherwise have to return the ones they don't sell for a replacement if there were an expiry. I bought mine about 45 before I intended using it.

I have had simply safe for a couple of months and have received no bill from cellular provider.....didn't even have to provide a cellular provider. I love my simplisafe so far, it was easy to set up and works like advertised....now I have not had to "use it" per se as yet, but so far so good!! I have the 14.99/mo plan and that is all I am charged.

This phone works very well for my Mom but she is on a regular ATT contract GSM line. In quickly looking for a good answer for you it appears SafeLink would reject the SIM card if you transferred it from the old SafeLink phone to the Clarity. There is nothing technical keeping this phone from working by transferring SIM cards buy I doubt it would be properly register itself with the SafeLink network. I would contact SafeLink technical support before buying it. Hope this helps. Sorry.

Yap it was really unlocked and I experienced no problems with it aside cutting the simcard. Works great in Russia so I think Nigeria got all chances!)

I don't think the service provider matters but this phone does use a micro sim (tiny sim). So depending on the size of sim that you currently have, you may have to cut it in order to use the phone.In fact most phones currently manufactured require a micr-sim. (Eg. iphone5 & samsung s3 & s4). Fortunately a sim cutter is cheap and can be easily purchased or used. Just check your sim and try to find out if it can be cut (if it needs to be cut). I hope that answers your question adequately.

It worked fine for me! I burned my former Tmobile phone on the stove (don't ask!); one cover was melted and the battery destroyed. The other side of the cover was fine, as well as the SIM card. I bought a SparqII, and moved the SIM card just fine. No need for Tmobile store visit or customer care call. I'm delighted with the SparqII, but I did have to re-enter all of my contacts. Those are stored in the phone, not in the SIM card. Go for it.

You can of you cut it. It comes as a standard Sim card. You will have to cut it to make it fit. Just find a Sim card template online and follow the instructions.
