Hello guys,

I am using a Galaxy Nexus ( regular SIM) and also got Lumia 520 which uses Micro SIM.

I am plannng to use Lumia 520 for few months.

If i cut my regular SIM is there any MicroSIM holder which i can use with Galaxy Nexus when i get back to it ?

Note; I cant request for new SIM as it is not on my name. It is in the name of my sister and she is always out of station for work.

here :
How to Make a DIY Micro SIM to SIM Adapter

use any leftover (the thing that remains after you detach the sim card from a new sim card) (dont know what its called.."socket" maybe.. :confused:) .
you may have an old pouch of simcard (cuz new ones have a very small socket
or maybe some old credit card or debit card..
and also "grencards" offered by pantaloons, or club solitaire card by the telegraph, etc..

Actually there are micro-sim card cutters available with the local shop mobile owners, if possible buy one. They usually cut the sims for micro-size, and will give the remains (the sim slot) to the user so that he can still use regular sim mobiles by placing micro-sim in the sim-slot. So, don't worry!

^^ we'll search for it on Ebay. and so can you. so no point requesting it here unless you are on a mobile..
anyways, here you go

*www.ebay.in/itm/MicroSim-Micro-Sim-Sim-Adapter-Converter-Card-iPad-/280972234158#ht_1919wt_989 (only local - mumbai 84 bucks , very costly)

*www.ebay.in/itm/Nano-Sim-Adapter-N...rs-Apple-iPhone-5-/110963857079#ht_4082wt_906 (all india , 185 bucks, very costly)

and why do you want to buy it when you can make one for "almost free" ??

Click to expand...

I understand that however & did searched on eBay but they specifically mentioned that it is for iPhone.

I dont want any loose SIM issues and that is why thinking of buying it online.

Anyways, I will try DIY 1st :)

Thanks all
