I just found out my sim card for my bionic is a standard while the note 4 has a micro...
Would verizon replace the standard one with a micro while allowing me to keep unlimited or am I going to have to cut this card to fit the note 4?
Anyone have a problem like this?

You will have to go to a Verizon store

This also brings to question, is unlimited data tied to the account or the sim card? If I had to get a micro from verzion would they transfer the unlimited from the mini to the micro?
or again could i just cut the sucker with a sim cutter from amazon.

Can someone tell me for certain (someone who has the phone or has opened one up), tell me if the Galaxy Nexus has a micro sim slot or not? I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere...
No, normal SIM.
Just look at the instructional videos straight from google. It does not have a micro SIM. It has a standard (what we think of as standard is actually "Mini") SIM.
Remember though, you can put a micro SIM in a mini SIM slot. You just need a small plastic adapter to make it seat properly.

The Galaxy Nexus definitely takes a normal sim card. The confusion may have arisen over phones4u sending out micro sim cards with new orders but this was a mistake and a standard sim card is the only one that will work in there.

Well like I said above, a micro SIM will work if you use an adapter. The adapters allow you to slot a micro SIM into them and provide extra plastic around them to be the size of a mini SIM.
The slot in the phone is most definitely a standard SIM slot though.

Not entirely true, it is possible to balance/wedge the microsim on the contacts and have a working phone

Well that would have been ok then IF an adapter had been supplied with the micro sim but as it wasnt then its totally useless lol.

Yes I agree that wedging random things in sim slot is bad idea, however....
If you happened to be like me and have tons of random mobile crap or sim leftover items like the cards that are credit card sized which house the original micro-sim often, then some of them have an actual cutout of a larger sim original size sim to be more clear which is popped out then the micro-sim is popped out of that piece. It's a backup/cheap way I figured for companies at one time to make sims and ship them out in one pack/card then when the user gets their phone and they match up what sim size they need they have both options....or I could be very wrong who knows.
Any ways, my point is simply that one of those leftover housings of a original size sim that you might have popped out a micro-sim from for another phone can come in handy as all you do is simply place your current micro-sim in the gap where another one used to be and it kind of even snaps into place then you have a bootleg like adapter for micro to original size sim. I don't know it worked me on my i9250 gsm world nexus and verizon.
normal aim
use adaptor

I am thinking of ditching my Vibrant and getting the GN. Are the SIM cards the same size or do I need to get a new SIM card or adapter to allow my current SIM (in my Vibrant) work?

Hi All,
I've seen a couple of Note 2 videos that refer to the SIM slot as a micro sim slot.
Does the Note 2 take a different sized sim card to the Note 1?
I think it's just a standard SIM card in my Note 1...
thanks,
Rich
I can confirm its a Micro Sim.
Retailer where I bought mine just chopped the original down to size.
Is it same shape mico sim as iphone because i have a sim cutter thx

Hi,
I visited a Samsung showroom here in India today, and I was said by store manager that the usual SIM Card used in Note I cannot be used with the Note II and you may need to cut the sim card (as it is to be done on iPhone 5). Is this true? If there is such a need to be undergone for using the SIM CARD in galaxy Note II?
I've just found out that is true!!
My SIM from my HTC Desire needs to be cut down with a micro sim cutter (Ebay) or a replacement micro sim card from your provider

its better get a new micro sim from your service provider. one of the mobile store guy had cut my sim wrongly, the edges gone, and it didn't work anymore, i did went to the service provider and replaced a sim, also get a micro sim adapter, which will be usefull when you need to use the sim in non micro sim phones.

Yes, it's the same, it'd you are going to convert your standard SIM to a Micro SIM, I would suggest using the dedicated tool for doing it, as opposed to using a pair of scissors or a utility knife.
You can use the aforementioned tools, but it's changed with higher risks of damaging the SIM.

No, the iPhone 5 uses nano-sim, not micro sim like the iphone 4/4s, note 2 etc use.
You can see in this image that the micro sim used in the note 2 (right) is larger than the new nano sim used in the iphone 5 (middle)
Cmon its not that big of a deal..any shop keeper would cut ur sim for free or 100 bucks max..and u can even buy ur own sim cutter from eBay costs 150 rs..

The reason for my hesitation is that, once the cut is made, it makes the sim card not to be used in other regular sim card cell phones.

Well in ebay if you search for sim cutters they will also provide adaptors for micro sim as well. You can use them with your normal cell phones. No problem for you.

Avoid cutting it. Just go to your provider and they will replace the Sim in 15 minutes.

my provider exchanged my old sim Card for a micro SIM card for free.
I read review on internet and first time I saw that they mentioned that Note 2 is using micro sim card. I have Note 1 and plan to buy international Note 2, how did you guys in US got around it with your AT&T sim cards? Did you go inside the store and ask for new micro sim card or just cut the regular sim smaller? Thx.
You can cut it easily, but if you just go to AT&T they will give you one no problem. Just be honest and tell them you got a new phone and need it. I've done it before and they changed it in 5 minutes.

Yes you need to cut it.. Here is india they charge $1
I bought a punch some time ago when I was playing with Apple stuff. Punches are really cheap now days $5. But it is pretty easy to cut a sim, just use the pdf templete or call some local cell shops, I'm sure you can find one that will punch a sim for you.
