[Q] Ask: SIM Card needed to use Xperia S or any Sony Xperia phones? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I am looking for a Sony Xperia phone to buy. I love the Sony Xperia S and it is unlocked. So I am thinking do I need to put in a SIM Card to use it or not? Also, I think it does work on T-mobile SIM Card, right?

you will need a micro sim for xperia s. you can buy it just ask for a micro sim, and if you already have a regular sim card you can request to change it for a micro sim.

Yes you need a SIM card (a microSIM to be exact) and yes T-Mo will work.

Thank You

Thank you. It looks like I have to get my old T-moble SIM Card cut into a mircroSIM when I get the new Xperia S

Or you could just order a new sim card... Hack and slash route is known to fail occasionally

motorola atrix 4g ATT sim card size ?

Hi,
what size sim card is needed for motorola atrix 4G ATT phone. GSM Arena says mini Sim ? Some other site I read it takes regular sim but I think it was different carrier.
Regards,
Miten.
Mini SIM is regular SIM...
If you're still unsure (can't imagine why), it's can't be that hard to google, can it?
regular sim is mini sim
thanks for guidance. even after you clarified I googled and did not find site mentioning it clearly. It does show the pictures but does not mention so wanted to clarify.
"Uses mini SIM" is as clear as you'll get, and like I said there should be no confusion about what that means.

As said above, mini SIM is the regular SIM. Other SIM that are commonly used are micro SIM(iP****, HTC etc.) or the Nano SIM, which are smaller than the mini SIM. Though I have never seen a device which uses a SIM bigger than mini SIM (nor I have seen any SIM bigger in size than mini SIM)
Atrix uses mini SIM (25x15mm)

You're clearly too young to have seen them. SIM cards used to be the size of today's credit cards.
Mini SIM is called "mini" for a reason, just like there's a reason SIM cards are usually shipped within a plastic bracket and you have to snap it out.
EDIT: The big card in the background here is the full size SIM card, and the phone in front is the kind of phone that uses a SIM card of such size.

[Q] SIM card holder broken or region lock

how can you see that there is a region lock on either the SIM card holder is broken
There will always be No SIM, Insert sim card.
In another samsung s3 does the SIM card is perfect, so the SIM card is not the problem!
Maybe someone can help me here ?
Sorry for my bad english
SIM holder is broken, if phone was network locked it would prompt you for the unlock code. Best try another SIM card first, but it sounds like you need a service centre.
you are very sure?
thx

Single SIM card tray size

I recently bought the Huawei p20 pro (L09 single sim phone). I need to buy a new SIM tray for cosmetic purposes as the one I have is quite badly scratched. Would the dual SIM card tray fit and work just for use of my one SIM card? Struggling to find a single SIM tray online to replace it.
Thanks.

I cant think of a reason why the dual one wouldnt work. Just put 1 sim card on the spot that is placed on the single sim tray
Yes... I have a dual tray in my L09 w no problems
Edit: my bad, didn't realize how old this thread was.
