Hi, 

I got my iPhone 5 from getOrchard site,  I found my old standard SIM card   I used it in my Sumsang cellur before  is bigger than iPhone sim tray,  Orchard has sent me a new SIM card(it is also bigger), but I do not want it replace my old one, so what should I do with this situation?

 

Thanks for response.

You can always cut your existing card down to match the nano-SIM used by the iPhone 5. However, this isn't without risk, as you may end up damaging your SIM card and needing to have it replaced.

The best way to cut SIM cards is using a punch cutter like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Fosmon-Nano-Micro-Nano-Standard-Micro-Standard-Adapters/dp/B00AR1V1WS/ref=sr_1...

 

I have one, but it wouldn't make sense for you to buy one just for one card. Instead, I'd recommend having a mobile repair shop cut it for you.

The only time I ruined a SIM card by cutting it was when I used and online template with scissors. I was prepared for the risk because I had no use for the SIM card if the cutting method failed.
