How to INSERT / REMOVE a SIM card in various MOBILE CELL PHONES

[@rodica69]

THANK YOU! This video is still useful in 2021. I just dropped my Samsung cellphone on the floor. Face down. It's screen is completely shuttered. Dead. So I searched for my old Samsung and found it in a drawer. The emails showed that it has been sitting there since 2017. The battery - amazingly! - woke up and charged. I gotta give Samsung a golden star for that. Again. (I am a graphic designer, I am used to work on Macs, but regarding the cellphones I am on the Samsung's side.) I retrieved the cards from the broken Samsung cellphone and - thanks to your video - I managed to insert them in the old one.

[@TRZGA1960]

Best explanatory video ever made even in 2025🥇 You deserve more than five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thank you very much!✨

[@naturalobserver]

Helped me greatly. The vendor's video said nothing about needing to pop it out even further to get the nano size and didn't show things clearly. Thank you!

[@taylorcamdyn9947]

I know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me.

[@cindyrider2006]

That helped me too but my card says- Do not touch the gold part. This guy has his hand all over them.

[@alastairmcintosh]

My goodness, you are such a good teacher. I just got an Artfone C182 and astonishingly, it comes with no instructions for battery and SIM insertion. Your second example shows what to do. Thanks.

[@kennithbaker1811]

Just spent about two hours trying to follow an official Assurance Wireless SIM card replacement video (an animation! a cartoon, for crying out loud!). Admittedly I'd never changed a SIM card before, had never even pried open a cell phone case, and the last major technological challenge I mastered was learning to program my Betamax VCR to record shows when I wasn't around, but I didn't expect this SIM card replacement to cause me such grief. Then I happened across this My Mate VINCE video, and 15 minutes later my phone is happy and so am I. As others point out below, this video presents concise but thorough instruction in such a clear way that one hardly notices that she's learned something useful.

[@angelswings1219]

My Mate Vince is a prince among men. He solved a problem for me that I spent days trying to figure out with the help of online tech support, but he solved very siimply.

2 hours and I failed. Then I found your video and 2 minutes it was in! You're my hero.. From Minnesota, USA.. 😆😅

I'm in mn too & he's my hero as well lol 😅

[@Calliope388]

Vince, you don't realise what a lifesaver your video is. It was so clearly explained and we understood every word. Thank you so much.

[@dnchttrtn]

Thank you, really helped me-saved my life, saved me a lot of time. Was concise and easy to understand, sounded very patient and genuinely wanted us to understand.

[@carolinejuric5451]

Thank you. My first cellphone. The written instructions left me confused. But thank you for your relaxed voice. And for explaining the different SIM cards.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Yes, he has a nice voice

[@patjohnson2257]

Thanks "my mate vince" I have been trying to figure out how to insert the correct sim card into a BLU tank 2 T194 for several days and getting nowhere. The sim is in one of those variety packs from qlink. I watches several videos on KZbin that afforded me -0- help and actually made me feel even "more stupid" at the end than I felt at the beginning. I am 74 and new to a lot of tech stuff but determined to do for myself as much as I can before asking for help from my family who don't want to teach me anything but just want to grab the device and fix the problem and hand it back. Granted I am a slow learner with some things but by no means "stupid" just ignorant of some things. Your method of teaching is very refreshing, kind and thorough and I thank you.

[@bevpaul8993]

After 2.5 hours on the phone w/the carrier - your video FIXED it so simply in less than 5 mins. U R my angel. TY!!

[@lindab6901]

Thank you soooooooooo much for this explanation. THIS was exactly what I needed to figure out what exactly to do for my new phone. (My cell phone company chat-help was NO help and just told me to find a local store, which they are always rude and seldom of any real help. ugh I really need to switch carriers. Can you hear me now? lol) THANKS TO YOU, I was able understand and install the nano-sim version and my cell phone is up and running now. Yay!!

[@revimack3764]

This is the first time I heard about the cut edge in the corner. This saved me a lot of aggravation. Thank you.

[@MsFtKtTy]

just got my first smart phone and had no idea how to install a sim card. this video was very helpful. Thanks so much!

Thank you for helping an old lady find out how to apply a sim card!!! Happy Holidays ❤😊

[@ruthnabie8634]

What about dual Sim cards

[@MercedesMoss]

This video showed the steps in detail, down to how to match the SIM card to the aperture. Thanks a lot.

[@angelswings1219]

Thank you so much for this help. I spent hours on chat with tech about the SIM card with no luck getting my new phone to work. Not even once did he mention about placing it with the notch as indicated. Many blessings!

[@charmainewall7395]

This is the best video I have watched. Perfect instructions for a non-techy senior. Well articulated and accurate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am new to the last phone you demonstrated on, and I confidentally installed the SIM card myself.

[@dianamccarty6767]

OMG! I just bought a Telstra Essential Pro with NO MANUAL!! Couldnt see anywhere that would show me....till I saw this...OMG Thanks so much Vince! This was EXACTLY what I needed....now I can get on and activate my phone.....phew! xxxxx

[@GrapevineCenterIncButler]

Vince, thank you so much for this video, The phones arrived along with the SIM cards (not pressed out) but I could not get the SIM to fit. As a Micro, it was too large, as a Nano it fell through the tray. I was on the phone with the carrier (where I bought the phones), and the CS had no clue. Turns out it was like your last phone, and I had to use the back part of the SIM tray. I had no idea there were SIM trays that took both SD & SIMs -- nor did the CS person! I am so relieved to find someone who knows what he is doing. You are a life saver. Thank you.

[@charlottekuehn6027]

OMG I have been going for 2 weeks watching videos like this. You! are the best explainer than others. Thank you so much. I love you!

[@missgee8083]

because of you i was able to figure out how to put sim card in my phone thank you so much! I appreciate you! Have a great day

Thank you. Excellent job! Even though my LG UN170 doesn't have a sim card, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. You have the skills to describe techniques in a clear and cogent manner.

Thank you for teaching me, old folk to insert local sim card

[@jillginsburg6559]

Thank you, excellent visual and audio "script," and your presentation as well. I watched 6 or more videos before yours, but only yours showed how to push the nano sim out of the 3-in-1 card backing. First time I have installed a SIM, also installed SD card, phone is now ready to activate.

[@irame584]

None were my models but after I learned how to get the back off and reseated the battery, all was right. Gave me time to get a back-up for the day it does bite the dust.THANK-YOU ever so much!

[@nancymclelland6881]

Brilliant! I didn't realise that the Nano SIM was actually within the Micro SIM shape, was struggling to understand how I get the micro one from previous phone into my new phone that needs the nano size. Many thanks.

[@glen7652]

couldn't figure out how to insert sim card in my wileyfox.....Thanks for good clear instructions where others have failed miserably.

[@womanofspirit536]

Thanks! From your video, I learned which way to reinsert SIM card. Found the little diagram etched/stamped into the phone plastic near the SIM tray on my phone. (I have an older phone which reuquired me to open back of phone to access SIM tray).

[@GundamCreator]

I was having trouble getting the SIM card to slide in and now i know why. The size of the SIM card was one size too big. I took off the size and it slid right in. Thanks man.

[@s.me5868lassie]

Looking for advice too .Recommended thick special cellotape press finger down many time open slot apparently sim will emerge, gentle bring it opening .Didn't work for me then I had afterthought pr tweezers gently grip tip or edge of sim which is easest be careful .Hope it works for you best solution. WIshes best luck 🎉

[@judithverity2941]

I wish all teachers were as clear as you . . . .thanks

[@tomp8871]

Excellent, thank you. You explained which way to put it in. Mine did not have a tray, put it in right but kept saying no sim?? Then I seen how you can get 3 different sizes from 1 sim. So went thru it all again, and noticed my card it came in still had the pop outs. What happened was I put a nano in a micro and it didn't work. Popped it back in the outer rim I still had and it works fine. Thank you, love doing things myself.

[@Giga-lemesh]

Thanks, this was very helpful. Someone in my family is using one of the older models as a spare phone, I was lost

Thanks a lot. I've had the same i-phone for many years; I guess it came with its sim pre-installed 'cause I never had to mess with it. When I finally got a new phone I was totally sim-illiterate!

[@patpathinayake3586]

A fabulous video Vince. Thank you very much for the clear explanations. I have been informed that a new phone it comes with a new sim card. The old sim card data can be transferred to the new sim card/phone. Retaining the SAME phone number as done before I was positive about this. However, the seller seemed to be reluctant to do this. I sensed that, possibly, he has to do a bit of extra work or do not know how to. Can you please explain, is it possible to have a new card with the new phone and retaining the same number? I appreciate if you could offer a plausible solution please, Thank you.

[@chuckpearson109]

If you want to keep the same number with the new phone, you have to contact the carrier and give him the SIM card number.
