What To Do When Your Sim Card Won’t Come Out Of Your Phone

  1. Take out the battery and wait for a few seconds. Replace the battery and try again.
  2. Make sure the SIM card is clean, then try again to insert it into your phone.
  3. Try another SIM card on your phone, if you have one available. If your phone works with another SIM card, then you need to replace your current SIM card with a new one or get it repaired at your local cell phone store or from your wireless provider if it is still under warranty.
  4. If you are using a micro-SIM card (Apple iPhone 5), make sure that it is properly cut before inserting it into an adapter or adapter-free iPhone 5 case, as this will cause the SIM card not to fit properly into the phone’s slot and make removal difficult.
  5. If you are using a nano-SIM (iPhone 5) and have cut an adapter for it, check that the adapter fits all of the ways into the SIM card. If it is loose in the adapter, it can cause the SIM card not to fit properly into the phone’s slot and make removal difficult.
  6. Try using a pair of tweezers to pull out your SIM card.
  7. If you are still unable to remove your SIM card from your phone, try using a SIM card removal tool:
