MicroSim for LTE on Fido?

Many probably noticed that fido in canada has turned on its LTE. I jusy found out that they only have regular sized sim available at retail store. Has anyone tried putting this sim in galaxys3 rogers version? Would it work just like or sim if we cut it up to fit in the phone?

Hey,
Just to clear things up, you'll first need to unlock the phone (obviously) .. Even if fido is a Rogers sub brand.
I contacted fido customer rep and they said it should work. And as you mentioned, they only have the regular sim size.
However, I went to the Montreal flagship fido store over the weekend, and the sales rep confirmed it will work and they are getting the LTE micro sim sometime this week.
I'll go buy it as soon as it's available, and I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks for reply,, as matter of fact, roger galaxy s3s works with fido sim.
Plus i just got the regular sized sim, and cut it with sim cutter. It works very well on my galaxy s3. It shows lte where 4g icon should be.

I have also had good success cutting regular SIMs with a kitchen knife and scissor using online templates (just google Micro-SIM template).
Just print the template, put the regular SIM on the template and then cut where the lines are. I have done this 4-5 times with only 1 failure (my first...I think I used too much force).

invalid sim?

I have a unlocked s3. i have 2 non t moble sims. Both work in my note 2. only one works in my s3. one says invalid sim. what is wrong?:crying:

Make sure the SIM card is seated properly. If all the contacts don't touch you could get an error.

Your S3 IS NOT UNLOCKED and your NOTE 2 IS UNLOCKED
that's both sim cards work in your Note 2 and only one of the sim cards work in your S3.

Question with my new note today about sim

So my n2 is coming today. I have an infuse right now. With a small sim card(iphone).
Now I think the note is coming with a sim card also. Can I still use my sim card? Or do I need the card that comes with the note to get LTE?
I ask because I never upgraded before. My phone number is on my current card correct? How would I switch my number to the new card?

As long as the sim you previously had supported LTE you will be good.

Hacked:Sim Cards!

Just found out that someone finally discovered a way to hack Sim card's. Don't know about you guys but I'm a bit concerned. They say that 5 million phones could be affected. What does you guys think?

The article I read said it was only a certain type of older sim that was vulnerable, and even then the hack didn't work 100% of the time. If you have an older sim and you're worried, go to a Tmo store and tell them you need a new sim. Then you should be fine. If you got your sim recently, you're already good.

Trust me, SIM cards are next to impossible to hack. I have my s3 and I want to use both phones (obviously one will be off while using the other) use the s3 at work so not to break my beloved s4. Use s4 at home and when out. Got a SIM card reader and spent days figuring out how to clove it. Second you touch the SIM card, to figure out it's ki, boom SIM card is locked and destroyed. As was said before only the older ones are able to be touched.

Network Availability

Hi
i have just purchased one of these bad boys in the 4g flavour but my carrier is 3 mobile so data is blocked as my sim is a phone sim and not a data sim
so anyone in UK can you please tell me what network you are on where you get full data calls and text
Much appreciated
Thanks
Lee

Hi Lee. Isn't it just a regular sim? Is it on contract or payg?

You can put in the phone Sim card with no problems. If you need to manually enter the apn, it's three.co.uk.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk

APN is already set to three.co.uk
I also have a letter H+ with data arrows flashing up and down
Not a huge response to my query, all I am asking is anyone using a note 8.0 as a phone.
I can go with watever network allows phone sim to work in a tablet but it will cost me a top up to find out who will work
Thanks for your help

If it's unlocked, then all sim cards should work. I've used it with a 3 sim and also a virgin mobile sim.
