iPhone 5 Nano SIM - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm on the iPhone 5, yeah sorry I know.
Just got the N4 so I have a Nano SIM adapter but I get NO data when I put the Nano SIM in the N4, I think I need to be on Smartphone LTE, but once I get that changed will I be able to go back to the iPhone 5 and still have the Data working?

Just got my galaxy note ... "Insert Sim Card"

Hi guys, I was all excited to get things going on my galaxy note but unfortunately it's not recognizing my sim card. I put in my att gophone sim card, prepaid unlimited $50 plan, and my note will not recognize it. When I insert it, I get an error saying "sim card crash" and in the top right i have some sort of notification that looks like a sim card with an exclamation point in the bottom right. When I go into setting>wireless and network> mobile networks in order to set up the APN settings it says "insert sim card, Insert sim card to access network services". When I insert the sim into my dumphone, it works fine. I saw another poster had a somewhat similar problem but apparently out of the box it worked fine. I got my phone from techno trading house for what its worth.
this might sound stupid, but have you inserted your sim in the right way?
when i first booted up mine, i accidentally inserted the sim in the wrong way because the samsung note takes sim cards in the opposite direction compared to my previous nokias and motorolas.
Check your sim card placement. I had the no sim card issue when I first got my note, checked my sim card placement and I had it in backwards. Turned it around and everything started working. Just a thought.
I have the chipped side to the bottom right as seen in the little diagram.
+1 same issue here with StraightTalk... SIM positioned properly chipped side on the bottom right printed side of the SIM up / contacts below
My tmobile card has chip side close to sim card slot.

I tried that too, but the contacts are well aligned when the chip side in bottom right...

maybe you should try someone else's sim to see what is says. then go from there.

I'm assuming "just got an att sim" means you opted for a regular plan through att?
Yep that is correct
I currently have an iPhone 3GS under a 2-year plan with ATT. Will my iphone 3GS sim card fit properly into the Galaxy Note N7000? If it does fit, will my GNote operate at HSPA+ 21 with the iPhone sim inserted?
It should. I have a Vodafone 2 year plan and had a Galaxy I and put it into my wifes new SGS 2 and everything worked fine.

you may need a 4G sim and a 4G data plan to access the HSPA+ APN.
Otherwise, regular 3G plan will show you the H+ symbol but may not be getting the full speed

Sim card compalitiblity from infuse to S3

I want to remove the SIM card from my still working Infuse and put it in my s3. The problems is that sim card in the new S3 is about half the size as the older standard Sim card. Do I have to go to the ATT store and have them program a new sim card that fits my S3 with my new number?

i used a micro SIM cutter and cut my existing SIM card to fit in, coming from my atrix. just wanted to try it. i could connect to network but could not get data. so i just activated the micro SIM it came with instead.
why didn't your phone come with a micro SIM?

They should. They may charge you the $36 'activation fee' for the new SIM.
I'm fairly certain you need a new SIM due to the GS3 being LTE, and the Infuse being HSPA+.
I just made the switch, myself, this morning...from Infuse. What a difference!!!

The only places that will charge you for a new sim are "authorized" sales channels, not corporate owned AT&T stores. Go into ANY corporate AT&T store and you'll have a working SIM in a few minutes, no questions asked, free of charge. They'll probably ask to play with your phone or try to sell you accessories though.

You have to have the correct size SIM card (the N4 uses micro SIM). If you don't have the correct size, then you can just go to an AT&T store and ask them to swap you out with the size you need. It should be free.

Nexus 7 3G - SIM or Micro SIM?

Does anyone know, which sim-card slot will be in the new Nexus 7 3G?

Almost certain it will be mini-sim.
SIM is being phased out and will not exist soon, as there is now mini (one down from normal SIM) and Micro (one down from mini, basically just the gold within the sim)
So yeah, the middle one, mini sim, which is the same is iPhone/HOX/S3 etc etc.
Hello you two
It's actually a micro-Sim.
To use your tablet with mobile network data, you must first insert and activate a micro SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card” appears on the tablet’s lock screen.

That's Micro SIM. The even smaller one you describe is a Nano SIM. And technically, the 'regular' SIMs we're used to are Mini SIM.
Full SIM was actually the size of a credit card (which is why we get SIM cards in a card like this -- The large one is actually usable in 'full' SIM devices).
Thanks, @ddlooping. I really thought, the Nexus 7 would have a normal Mini-SIM. Simply because it has enough room for larger SIMs
Good to know, that I will need two Micro-SIM cards (Nexus 7 3G + Nexus 4)...
You're welcome.
SO on the google blog, it says that the Nexus 7 3G will be available for purchase tomorrow. But there is no indication of that on the google play store like there is for the nexus 4. I also just called the google CS line, and they said that they don't have a solid release date yet
Humm, I was thinking of ordering this, but the carrier I use for my existing tablet does not have a micro SIM. Perhaps I should take it to one of the mall stores where they know how to do this stuff properly and have them cut it down for me.

Ordered mine from the UK Play Store a couple of hours ago.
I have the Nexus 7 32GB 3G right here and I'm furious because indeed, it requires a MICRO-SIM.
The slot is large enough for a regular mini-SIM but there is a plastic tray that you place your micro SIM into that artificially makes this slot smaller.
Without the tray there is 1mm missing for the width of a regular mini sizes SIM card.
FAIL!!!
Both Design Fail and Customer Communication Fail!

Nexus 7 3G - SIM Or Micro SIM
I ordered a Nexus 7 today and I am wondering if I can transfer the SIM card data from my current SIM card to a micro SIM card by just stopping in a T-Mobile store? Also, do they usually charge for that? I assume that adapters are available so I could use the micro SIM with an adapter in my legacy phone.
Also, if I insert a T-Mobile micro SIM will I get regular T-Mobile service on the Nexus 7 or does T-Mobile (US) somehow restrict tablets or charge more for that?
Also, do I understand correctly that a SIM card has to be in the Nexus 7 for it to work, even if I am trying to connect via wifi?

1,2) Not sure.
3) Your Nexus 7 will be blocked from the network if you try to insert a TMo phone SIM in the tablet.
4) No, the N7 works just fine without a SIM.

The Nexus 7 3g was bought as a gift for my brother and my experience is as follows:
The Nexus 7 3g from the play store is shipped with an AT&T sim.
Nopes. you don't need the sim in the nexus 7 for it to connect to Wi-fi.
As for the swapping - I have the T-mo micro-sim on my Note II and when I popped it with the Nexus 7, it read the Sim and all that, but did not transfer any data (probably because it is locked on to my Note II).
Just my two cents.

[Question] Does the Nexus 6P work on verizon?

So, I'm thinking about getting the Nexus 6P, however, I have a contract with Verizon. Can anyone confirm that a Verizon Sim card would work on the Nexus 6P? If I were to take my Sim card out of my iPhone 5C and plop it into the Nexus, would it work?

It will most definitely work, that's exactly what I did with my old G3. Turn off the 5C, pop the SIM card out, pop it into the 6P, turn the 6P on. No need to call VZW or anything (which is a huge bonus ;p)

As long as it's a Nano SIM, no cutting.

Correct, the 5C takes a nano SIM so no cutting will be needed.
