If you are ever out and about and need to pull out your SIM card tray, as I have been in the past, one of the quickest ways to solve the problem is to pop into a nearby store. Once again, if none of these things is an option, just look for any pointy thing you have lying around - and if you still failed in your mission, it's time to get to a store for a solution. Yes, we were able to open the SIM tray with this monster toothpick. To get around this, you might be required to whittle away some buts towards the bottom using a knife. But you'd be already aware that most toothpicks aren't thin enough to be inserted into the tiny SIM hole. Now, this is an option that can be used as a last resort if none of the objects above are at your disposal. The fact that its design allows for more force to be (safely) exerted makes me think the safety pin is a better sim ejector tool than needles. Thanks to its sharp, pointed edge, it makes for a great sim tool. Safety PinĪ safety pin is something that is very ubiquitous and found in nearly every household. If you're thinking outside the box, then you've probably realized that you could also use a staple. There are many shapes and sizes, but pretty much all of them are capable of opening your SIM tray. © NextPitĪnother ubiquitous object that you may find in most homes and offices is the humble little thumbtack.

But desperate times call for desperate measures! I'd advise you not to try this using your hand. Just use the not-pointy end in the SIM eject hole and press down on the edge of a table. If you repair socks and pants as much as I do (you don't want to know), then you'll have a needle floating around the house somewhere. It looks like you are trying to open a SIM tray! / © NextPit And when you're done, you can use it to attach various bits of paper together. Not the fat plastic-coated paperclips, but pretty much any small metal paper clip will get your SIM tray ejected. Probably the next most common thing, if you happen to work in an office. (Be careful not to bend your earrings!)Įarrings are the most common and simple DIY SIM tools around. More extreme piercings might be too large to serve as SIM tray openers. On others, you might need to unscrew the ball/spike on the end. Traditional earrings with thinner wires or hooks work best. The right tool for the job might be closer than you think, as in on your body. None of the above? Visit a phone store!.
