Micro SIM Card Adapter For When You Wanna Go The Other Way

microSIM Card Adapter

It’s amazing.  The slightest shift in a standard can make for a business opportunity.  Case in point the microSIM, which is simply just a smaller version of the standard SIM card for all intense and purposes.  Earlier this month a handful of DIY micro SIM videos emerged showing people cutting their regular SIM cards to fit the unlocked 3G iPad micro SIM card slot.  But what if you wanna go the other way, as in put that SIM card you hacked back in your phone?  Enter the microSIM card adapter.  In effect it’s just a piece of hard plastic designed to fit and hold your micro SIM and return it to the SIM’s original size.

So this begs the question: will I be able to purchase a 4G iPhone and place its micro SIM back into my 3GS iPhone with this adapter?  You see I plan on Jailbreaking my 3GS, installing the WiFi router app and using it as a 3G connection for my iPad.

By the way, you can pick one up for about $10.

        I've ordered an adapter from your site and I never got it. I guess your site is a fake and I just wasted my money.

    A week ago bought micro sim adapter from http://www.gomicrosim.com. Costs only 4.5 EUR. Really worth it. Now use my simcard in both Ipad and Iphone. Should save me 1440$ since there is no need to sign for the 2 year AT&T plan. Highly recommend this seller, his price and delivery options are the best so far.

    Well we all know about the quality issues, and by far this http://www.microsim2sim.com seems to be the best deal when it comes to microSIM adapters. First, it gas a special adhesive layer that keeps the card well in place, second they also give you a special sticker for cutting out microSIM from a normal SIM using the guides marked on the sticker. Next is that the combination of them 2 is offered at the lowest price on the market
