Here is some template from normal sim to nano sim

Micro sim to nano sim

so try it and let us know OK http://www.airportal.de/How_to.....no_SIM.pdf

I tried it and it worked. I have SpeakOut SIM working on an unlocked iPhone 5.

Wiki Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)

Here are the different SIM dimensions.

As you can see in the table, the embedded-SIM chip is the same for all the card formats. Here is the actual SIM chip structure (the GOLD part you see on the card)

GOLD contact

As you can see, the SIM chip international standard (PATENT design) has not change. You have 6 contact points in the shape of brackets ( ). The extra gold metal contact surrounding the bracket shape contacts are buffers possibly grounds. That is why the newer SIM you see are smaller, it is removed in the later SIM packaging.

To SUM it up, yes the Speakout SIM would work if you can trim the excessive parts surrounding the embedded-chip without damaging it. This should not be an issue. I am sure there will be cutters available to trim the excess. The most difficult part is to trim 0.11 mm thinner. If you know how thin 1mm is 0.11mm is almost nothing.

I don't know how good Apple manufacturer can be but I am sure there may be some error room to stuff 0.11mm difference into the iPhone 5. I am sure other manufacturers when they start designing phone to accept nano-sim format, there will be wiggle room. If not, shaving 0.11mm should not be a tough task with a fine grinding stone and slow speed Dremel.

I don't see any benefit gains from slicing a few millimetres except to gain the control where it can only be used on one type of phone. If Apple's intention was to give them more real estate area for other usage on the phone, they could just embedded the SIM IMEI right into the phone and just lock that portion out, just like CDMA days.

I hope Apple fail with their tactic to differentiate their phones with the masses. Unfortunately, there are too many sheep lining up to purchase. And the volume controls the standard even though there is no benefits from the new design.

I for one still think the original standard SIM is more than sufficient to use on all phone design. I believe if they are going to make it smaller than get rid of it completely. There is no real need for it now. The SIM card main intention was to allow the portability of a unique identifier. The secondary feature, they gave a piddly amount of storage space that can hold some telephone numbers, but no one really uses the telephone storage feature anymore. And to have a chip to store a string or even a 1024bit encryption key is overkill.

There has to be a better solution.

Unfortunately, until we give it a try, there really is no way to tell whether Iphone 5 will work on speakout.

Apple tried to stop unlock that's why they came out with nano sim

I see eBay sellers already sell nano sim cutter http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Micro-S.....2ec1c221e3

My friend has new speakout sim card a smaller chip set so I am sure there is away to turn SO sim to nano sim

Well the iPhone 5 has been announced today and it is confirmed that is using the nano sim.

you CAN NOT convert a sim or micro sim to a nano sim. a nano sim is exactly the size of the chip and it is also 15% thinner. so a trimed micro sim will not work. unless there is a way to make the micro sim thinner. then speakout will work with the new iPhone 5.

Also, I don't think SO's sim card will work on any LTE phone at all. So far I have tried HTC One X LTE, Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE, and S3. Even if it is cut properly to work on an Iphone 4, the data plan won't work on any of those LTE phone, and in HTC One X case, won't even work at all. Not even just voice.

I would have to say the 4S would work fine on SO if you just want to us app that does not requires a full data plan, but any LTE capable phone (which Iphone5 most certainly will be) are going to be fairly wasteful or not work at all.

That said, given the restrictions of Speakout's data plan, I really see no advantage to owning the latest iPhone. In my opinion using the 4S on Speakout is a bit of a waste. The 3GS would likely be able to do everything the 4S would on Speakout! Of course the iPhone 4 has an HD camera so I wouldn't argue using that, but the 4S or the iPhone 5 would just be a complete waste of money.

Well, all that we can hope for is that SO keeps a generation behind in sim card technology because I know you can cut a micro sim to a nano sim. But if they keep to the regular ones we're hooped at getting the latest smart phones.

Maybe that explains the lack ofnew phones with speakout with the standard sims.

Next month the new iPhone will be released with a nano-sim card. Looking at a few pics of the sim on the web it looks very small and changing my regular to micro-sim seemed very tight to begin with. I don't think there's a way to cut the sims any smaller unless you can cut right through the chip itself.
