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?

yes.
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.

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.
What size sim card will be in the S5 compared to my S3? Will I be able to swap the card between the phones?
s5 compared to the s5 eh? it's micro sim.

OK, just trying to figure out if I might need a cutter, although I am hoping to be able to go back and forth between both phones with the SIM

Even if you need to cut it I think they make adapters so you could still use it.

The S3 and S5 both use a micro SIM (as do the S4, Note 2, Note 3). No cutter or adapter is needed. You can switch back and forth freely.
So s5 quite friendly user about sd card size?

SD card size? It takes a standard micro SD card.
The SIM card size is micro SIM, which is widely used.

adapters
I would be careful about using adapters. I've read many horror stories where the adapter pulls the pins inside your phone apart. You might be able to make it work a few times, but eventually it will ruin your phone.

Try cleaning the contacts on her sim card and then jiggling the sim card around once inside the S4. It might take a few attempts and a few reboots but should work.

Are there any US carriers whose Sim card will fit in 2nd Sim card slot? AT&T and T-Mobile don't fit.
Why don't they fit? Both sim slots have the same network bands.
The US variants (included the unlocked models) are NOT dual sim devices.

Neither has a card the same size as the slot. Either too big or too small.
I have dual SIM. Att sim fits in both slots. Perhaps you have the wrong type of sim.

I would doubt the tray is because on the dual sim tray the same size card fits in both slots

That's the clue right there.
On the box you will see two IMEIs.
Mine has DUOS on the box as well.
The tray for DUOS can accept dual sim cards or a single sim and microSD card.
With 1TB storage the need for the microSD is moot except perhaps if the need to transfer a lot of data.
For most transfers, wifi5 and airdroid suffice.

Can't really tell if you are being sarcastic or genuinely trying to be helpful. But yes it is a dual SIM card model, it has 2 imei #, under setting it shows the empty 2nd Sim card. No card fits in it. I'd accept it was my not knowing how to put a Sim card in a phone, even though my S8+ was also a dual sim model, if I hadn't been to both AT&T and T-Mobile stores and no one could make it work. Really glad you got yours to, but it doesn't fit in my device.

Calm down man. People here are trying to help you. Since almost no one here has ever had problem inserting sim card, and you don't tell us much about the detail, we then assume you have single sim variant, wrong sim tray, etc.
It would be a lot easier if you just take a picture of your sim card tray and post in here so we all can understand what really happen.
If you cannot post picture or whatever other reasons, just cut the sim card to make it fit. I used to cut many normal sims to micro sims and micro sims to nano sims in the past (nowadays, all operators in my country make 3 in 1 sim cards that I can pop out whatever size I wanted).
However, I am absolutelyx3 certain that nano sim fits S10 second sim slot.

The sim type for both is the same. So if your card does not fit in slot 2 I can only assume the wrong sim carrier has been supplied
I would either goto a Samsung experience store or talk to the supplier of the phone and advise them and try to get another sim carrier from them
But there is certainly no need for a different type of sim

Amazon. Pretty sure it's the right tray. The slot says microSD/Sim 2. Will take the advice of previous post and take it to a Samsung store. Not a huge deal it was just convenient to have 1 phone instead of 2 since I work on sales and have customers calling all the time
