There should be not too many people left who are still using mini-SIMs on their mobile phones.
If you moving on to a handset that's using the micro-SIM format, you can either go to your cellular service provide and request for a new micro-SIM, or DIY.

Make sure the printout (use A4) is 1:1. Use the printed ruler as a guide.
Position your mini-SIM and mark out the lines to be cut.
Use an X-ACTO knife or a pair of sharp scissors to make the cuts.
Use a piece of sandpaper to round out the edges or to finetune the dimensions.
This is the first site I've found that shows where on a mini the micro edges should lie. Well done, Albert.
ReplyDeleteWhat would also help is a set of over-length lines that would let us lie a ruler over a mini and mark exactly where the cuts should be, and that includes the angled line.
Positioning the work on a tiny same-sized template means that the cuts could be out many degrees. Over-length lines running beyond the piece help eliminate that uncertainty.
But thanks, so far.
