Introducing the future of sim cards - The Micro Sim Card

By Steven Jones


Micro sim cards are a the next evolution from the regular sim card. Inside of every single mobile phone is a tiny computer chip, often called a sim card, which stores all your contract information with the cellular company. Without a sim card, you could not access cellular networks to make cell phone calls.

In the 1990s when Sim cards were originally introduced in their current form, size was less of a concern. Manufacturers could not foresee just how small phones would become.

Sim cards are like credit cards, they are a big plastic area with only a small part contraining the actual data chip. The rest is simply excess plastic. In recent years, cellphones have started to get very small and very thin so naturally manufacturers want to reduce the space that sim cards occupy.

The computer chip where all the data is stored on a sim card is actually only a fraction of the area. The rest is wasted plastic. The micro sim card actually uses the same chip, it just removes the excess plastic. This has one great advantage as it means that micro sim cards are backwards compatible (with the use of a micro sim adapter) with all phones.

Using a micro sim adapter, you can easily use any micro sim card in a regular sim card slot, such as on an older mobile phone. The micro sim adapter words like a micro SD to SD converter but adding extra plastic around the chip to enable it to actually fit in the sim card slot. As you can imagine, this allows for the micro sim card to be fully compatible with any regular sim card slot on any old phone.

The micro sim card just pops straight out of the micro sim adapter when you are done using it. This is a simple release mechanism which ensures that your micro sim is both protect from damage and easily accessible. Apple iphone 4s and ipads both use the micro sim card. The vast majority of mobile phone manufacturers are expect to adopt the micro sim shortly.

The micro sim adapter really does make your life easier since you no longer have to worry about your sim card fitting into your gadget. If you have a micro sim card and a micro sim adapter, your sim card will fit into all devices, past and future. No other solution exists to achieve this task so well.

Do not cut a sim card yourself, rather utilize a special micro sim cutter device. It doesn't matter which network or nation you are in, all micro sim cards fit in the micro sim adapter perfectly.
