Believe it or not, the moment I had my iPhone opened and unlocked a week later, at first I wasn’t sure how to remove the SIM card from the iPhone! It is concealed pretty well near the top of the iPhone and one would not know how to remove the iPhone SIM card unless someone showed you how (or you did some Google’ing). Well, for those new iPhone in Canada owners out there, or for those thinking of driving down to the US to buy one, check out the following to learn how to remove the iPhone SIM card!
How to Remove the iPhone SIM Card
As you can see from this illustration, you will require a paperclip. Just stick the pointed paperclip into the tiny hole near the headphone plugin, and the SIM card try will pop out. Just push the SIM card try back down, and you should feel a slight *click* when you push down. That means your SIM card try is nice and secure.
Here’s a video of a CNET editor removing his SIM card tray. I don’t have my Canon SD400 digital camera with me to take my own video, so hopefully this one will help illustrate the simple process on how to remove the iPhone SIM card tray! 🙂

I am using my fido sim card. I can call out // recieve calls // text my iphone from fido website
BUT CANNOT get text or send. How do I fix this?
Any ideas anyone
Ok people plese…SIM card…now i know how to take it out..but where do i get the SIM card i need?? do i have to ask my provider for it or what?
I wouldn’t have known how to get it out either. I don’t have an iPhone yet, but am planning on getting one very soon. I bet this would have drove me completely nuts. I probably would have had to call tech support lol. Thanks for saving me from my embarrassment 🙂
