[Q] Help needed with Sim Card Adapter - Nexus 5 Accessories

I recently switched over to AT&T and picked up a Moto X and a Nexus 5. After getting all of my accessories in the mail for the N5 I decided to switch over to it to use it as my daily phone. But after removing the sim card tray for the Moto X I realized its a nano sim. I was going to buy a sim card adapter to switch between the two until I seen all the bad reviews. So, should I just take a lose and just spend $25 on a new sim, or does anyone know of a sim apapter that will not mess up my N5?

Is there any fix for new tmobile micro sim cards because data wont work on them

Data on newer tmobile micro sim cards in US will not work with international htc one x this is a fact now its impossible to manuelly or automaticly set up apn, phone refuses to recognize new micro sim and even when you fill all fields in apn settings and save phone itself just reset everything and delete new apn and message is there is no sim card,however calls and sms works but data no,i tryed even various apps from market like apn global and others its the same its just not possible,i found out only that older tmobile sim cards they call them non gba sim card will work, those are one withouth pictures of people painted so just plain white with pink tmobile letters and they needs to have number 50.01.im using different carrier then tmobile i have data normaly but im trying to sell this phone and i get 2 deals cancelled because of this is there any different solution then chasing old tmobile cards and they are pretty rare now.
There probably won't be a fix coming anytime soon. I'm one of the unfortunate ones without a old micro sim card. However, you could first talk to customer service online, and let them know this issue you're having. (Make sure they put a note on file based on the chat stating that the micro sim card you're looking for is a 50.01 not a 50.05 or any newer.) Then call customer service and tell them that you spoke to a customer rep online and please check the note on file regard sending out a correct replacement micro sim card. I believe they think that a 50.05 micro sim card is also a non gba sim card. I'm hoping the replacement micro sim card arriving next week would be the correct one. If not, cut your old sim card into micro sim size and use it on your One X.
Im not having problems im simple mobile user,i was selling one x and that the reason im asking because data wont work,but i sold the phone anyway that issue with tmobile its because 4G data
My newer micro sim did not allow me to save the Tmobile apn . Switched it to my wife's older sim that I cut down to a micro for her iphone. Entered the T-Mobile APN hit the save button and of course it worked. I was then surprised when I switched my sim back in and it still worked. Had a few 50.01 SIMS ready but did not have to cut any down and call T-Mobile to switch them.

[Q] GNex doesn't recognize any micro-SIM card (even with adapter)

Yesterday I had to switch the SIM-card in my GNex. The new one is a combi-SIM-card (an ordinary one where you can break out a micro SIM).
The ordinary one wasn't recognized so I broke out the micro SIM and tried it in my iPhone. It works flawlessly.
Then I used a micro-sim adapter to put it in my GNex again. Not working again. Then I tried to place the micro SIM manually in my GNex. Moved it a little bit — airplane mode on — airplane mode off. Again nothing. I also tried it with another micro SIM card. Again no luck.
The only type of SIM cards which seem to work are the old ones with the bigger connectors but sadly I can't get one of these anymore for my contact since they are all combi-SIM cards now.
So does anyone have an idea how to get that SIM card running in my GNex? It's too young to retire it :/
This is the equipment:
Strange my micro sim works great without adapter. Just needed to fiddle then restarts it and it picked it up

One of the SIM card reader PINs seems to be gone. I already ordered a replacement SIM card reader from eBay for 5€.
The repair-shop told me that T-mobile SIM cards could still work since only the lower right PIN is missing. I don't know why but the shop-guy was right.
EDIT: I was able to fix the missing PIN temporarily by using tinfoil )

Does anyone know where I can buy the sim card holder?

By sim card holder I mean the thing I put the sim card onto to slide into the phone.

You can easily snap it or break it if you dropped it.

[Q] Buying a new phone

So I'm planning on pre-ordering the gs6. My question is, does the phone come with a sim card or will I have to take it to att. I'm on a gs4 and I'm pretty sure the gs6 takes a different size sim.

S6 uses a nano SIM, S4 uses micro SIM. So yeah, it's different. But the chip itself is the same, and only needs cutting down. If you take to an AT&T store, they can probably cut it down for you. Or you can go on eBay and pick up a cutter for a mere few bucks (including an adapter that lets you use the nano SIM in a micro SIM phone).

[Q] Cut down nano sim

I've just received my new M9 but haven't started to use it yet. My current sim is a micro sim and I had thought of cutting it down to nano size and using it. But the manual warns against doing this. Has anyone tried using a cut down sim? Or would I be better off sourcing a new nano sim instead?
If obtaining a nano sim actually can be accomplished - then definitely you must opt for that..
Again if you have an overseas carrier sim - then you'll have to go through cutting followed by some sort of filing to have it thinner
Ive cut my microsim into a nanosim and was working fine with my lg g3 and now working without issues on my m9
Many thanks to both of you. I know sim thickness is an issue and I had wondered if anyone had actually tried a cut down micro sim and had experienced problems. Perhaps HTC errs on the side of caution by advising against a cut down.
Cut my girlfriends sim that was in her G3 to fit the M9, it's been working fine.
Cut mine last year for the M8 and I am using the same one now with the M9.
Today i have cut my normal full size sim to Nano and so far it's working
A good friend of mine cut down his micro sim to a nano sim and it worked perfectly in his M8
