The nanoSIM card is the new standard with which the Apple iPhone 5 will identify the user's line. We have already told you how the Cupertino firm set it up to impose this card, to the detriment of the microSIM and the proposals that Nokia and RIM presented to ETSI. Given this, you will imagine that in order to use the telephone, you will have to stop by your operator and ask for the new nanoSIM to be dispatched. Logically, they are not going to give it to you, you will have to squeeze some euros from the wallet. However, if you stay dry after paying between 680 and 900 euros that the iPhone 5 costs, you may be interested in tuning your current cardto make it work on the new Apple phone.
To do this, just download this PDF prepared by Christian von der Ropp, who has developed the step-by-step instructions to make our SIM or microSIM card become a nanoSIM. Once we download the document, we have to print it on an A4 sheet at a real scale, since the print includes the models on which the cuts will have to be applied. To do this, we will use adhesive tape and stick our card on one of the areas marked in the document. It is important that we also use a ruler with which to follow the lines that will be under the SIM or microSIM when we start to draw the cut-out areas on the card.
Now don't be scared. If you follow the reference lines well, you will see that it crosses areas that will cut areas of the identifier chip itself. No problem, this situation falls under the plan: the device does not read that part of the card and there will be no limitations on functionality. After this, we already have our nanoSIM almost ready. It would only be necessary to press a little the area opposite the chip so that it is slightly lower. Be patient at this point until you see that the card fits into the tray that we will insert in the iPhone 5. Better to give it a little extra time rather than spoil the drive.
Operators are already stocking this type of nanoSIM cards for the iPhone 5. Both Vodafone, Movistar and Orange, as Yoigo "" which for the first time will sell the iPhone since its launch and using its own channels "" are already prepared for the launch, in addition to the rest of the companies, since the nanoSIM will be with the iPhone 5 becomes the new standard that the rest of the manufacturers will end up equipping. By the way, Apple will not take, at least directly, economic profit from the situation: it has given free the manufacturing license of this new standard, with which it was imposed on the models of theFinnish Nokia and Canadian RIM, closer to the design and appearance of microSD memory cards.
The iPhone 5 will begin to be sold in our country from next Friday, September 28. The operator Vodafone was the first to confirm that it would have the terminal in its catalog from day one, although it did not indicate the sales conditions of what is already the Apple mobile that has received the most support in reservations within the United States.
