Hey guys, im having some trouble getting my sim card to read. I have followed the steps clearly and correctly to my knowledge for the cutting procedure. I have added some pics, I was wondering if I have possibly cut it wrong, or is there something else I am missing?
Thanks alot,
Sam

A little more background about the phone would be nice. Model? Locked to ? Jailbroken? New or used?
Have you tried another "working" sim to see if the phone is actually working?

Hi andreww, thanks for your reply.. The phone is an iphone 4, unlocked from apple. I am currently using telus prepaid, the phone works fine. I just wanted to move to SO for the cheaper rates. I can easily buy another sim card, and start again, its just that I followed the cutting instructions perfectly; so im not sure what I would do differently on a second attempt?
Cheers,
Sam

It most definitely is a problem with the SIM then. I would suggest buying a SIM cutter rather than doing it by hand. Its a little more precise.

Thanks guys, it says no sim.. I guess a sim cutter would be the wiser option, its just a hassle having to order one and wait.. I may just try cut another one, Im just still very unsure what actually went wrong..

Maybe the edge contacts of the cut SIM is touching the metal tray? Before I throw out the cut SIM, I would place some scotch tape along the edge contacts of the SIM (or tape along the metal part of the SIM tray). This will prevent the tray from shorting out the contacts. I think the iphone 4s SIM tray already has that insulation tape, but not the iphone 4.
