I replaced the microSD card today in my WIfi model of the Tab S3. While I had the single slot tray (microSD card) removed, I looked inside and it looks like the contacts to read a SIM card are in there.
So I wanted to know if anyone has attempted to swap the WIFI model single slot tray with a dual slot Card/SIM tray?
Wondering if "maybe" the internals are in there and some software tweaks to enable it?
I am debating buying a dual tray online and testing it. But I don't want to end up damaging the slot.
I also checked the popular "teardown" fix it type site for the Tab S3 but I didn't find a video on the disassembly.
Thanks

The hardware won't be there even if the sim tray is.

Guys with Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G version, please confirm if it needs normal SIM card used in phones or the smaller micro SIM ones used in iPad.
In this video review, the guy says it is micro SIM
I personally own a 10.1 3G since Jul7th, day of official release in Italy -first country in Europe- and i can confirm it has a normal SIM slot.
HTH
Edit: just reviewed the video, the guy is simply wrong. I've got exactly the same slot he's showing to camera and it's NOT a micro-sim.
Thank you very much for the confirmation
He also referred to it as a "micro SIM memory expansion slot"... Funny.
I think the micro sim is somehow stuck inside the slot? Is there anyway to remove it? My phone reads the network fine and I dont have any problems, but I was going to swap between a blackberry and the razr and I'm having troubles removing the micro sim.
So you can push on it and it doesnt click to come out? Are the sims the same? I went from one phone to a different and they were not the same 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.

funny thing is even though i was a kid at the time, i remember that size SIM card lol
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.
