When ever i get my hands on my apple phones i always loose the tool used to open the Sim gate tray mechanism.

Then I’m forced to look through my paper clips collection to find one of the right size and top worry about damaging it altogether.

Well no more of the complicated fiddling around and keeping your other network Sim Cards in your wallets or purses & pockets in jeans,trousers or jackets. and no more worrying if your spouse ended up washing your other network sim card in the washing machine as you forgot to take it out.

With Rebel Dual Sim STK Menu which cane be found in the iphone 4 Your able to Switch usingthe Press of a few click to the other Simcard.   SIM1   or   SIM2.

Lets say you have a unlocked iPhone 4 and posses more than one network simcard and wish to swap the network simcards around from diffrent providers be it any reason you like.

Currently by phyically switching network simcards manually can get complicated and become time cumsuming and can cause damage to the iphone 4 sim gate and internal click in mechanism.

You may want to be able to swap simcard many times a day as and when you need to use your other network simcard.

On the other hand if your iPhone 4 is locked to one network then you can only use 2 network Simcards in the locked iPhone 4 that come from the same network provider or a MVNO that shares your locked iphone 4 providers as explained below.

What are the Rebel iPhone 4 Dual sim adapters used for ?

To save you time and money and hassle of manually changing network Simcards around by physically changing them.

Let me give you this scenario about using MVNO’s in the UK you could easily use Tesco or GiffJaff in your locked iphone 4 thats locked on only 02 with the Rebel Dual Sim Adapters

If your phone is locked to say one network only and for example its UK O2. you can still use and save money as other virtual mobile network operators often have much cheaper offering that share the same network code.

This allows the network Simcards from MVNO’s sims to work and will also work on your locked iPhone 4′s.

At the moment Giff Gaff is like Tesco mobile who are a MVNO’s that run on the 02 network and is offering a very good deal along with Tesco mobile and their tripling credit offer.

They like other MVNO’s buy bulk airtime deals and resell on under their own brand. These network simcards all share in common the the same network code 23410 which tells the phone to login to to the UK O2 Network.

This network code is called the MCC Mobile county code which in this case is 234 for all uk network simcards & the MNC Mobile Network code which in this case is 10 for all the network Simcards that run on the uk O2 network.

You too can can check from the list here for other MVNO in your home country as we gave you an example for the UK and then be able have access to great deals by simply switching over to the other network simcard in a few click thats already inside your rebel dual sim card adapter.

Unlocked iphone 4 users and freedom of choice to use any network simcard.

Micro SIM not compatible with iPad The Full Story by the Rebel Simcard Team

June 17, 2010


What’s the difference between a SIM and a micro-SIM?

Like a regular SIM, the micro-SIM holds your subscriber information for the carrier and is great for storing
iphone 4gphone book contacts and other personal information. Micro-SIMs are user-replaceable and slide into a little slot in your device just like regular SIMs.

The micro-SIM is a smaller version of a SIM card found in your mobile phone, but holds exactly the same functions and micro-applications. The size of the micro-SIM is about a half of a regular SIM card (12×15 mm instead of 15x25mm). Though it contains the same information, it is not physically compatible with regular SIM cards found in your mobile phone.

A micro-SIM is basically smaller than a normal SIM card like you have and will only work in an iPad or iphone 4 and a watch phone by Lok8u,.

You can see from the images below and see the sim is much smaller than normal but the inner workings of the sim chip are the same with only small modifications that will be further explained down below in the article.

Should i use Scissors or a Knife or Blade to Cut my Sim to Micro Sim Format to use in ipad or Apple 4 ?

Not so Fast as thier was some news in today from Apple that might put a damper on your plans to save yourself a Wad of Notes. It would be reckless to consider taking a pair of scissors to cut the plastic of a regular SIM cards to make a micro-SIM. Anyone who would attempt to do so would risk damaging both their SIM and also the SIM slot of the device but its possible with some Skill.

A better option would be to contact your carrier to get a micro-SIM card or if you do want to convert a normal sim to a micro sim use the Micro sim Cutter Option and if you need to convert your micro sim back to normal you can also use micro sim adapters..

Why Apple Moved to the New Micro Sim Format.

Apple have learnt from previous sim unlock hacks via Sim Overlay Technology from the likes of Rebel Simcard for unlocking, Call  Control Least Cost routing and the use of Double Sim Adapters and have gone to micro Sim format to do their best to block out the possibility of future hacks. Changing down to the micro format so that they can make it much harder to fit Gadgets inside the iphone 4 or ipad sim gates.

Another reason Apple moved to the new format was a smart marketing technique. Their is nothing new about the micro sim other than the change of size and apple know this would be good talking point for others to create more talk and publicity around their products and people will percieve also the micro sim is special for apple products or even made by them.

The micro sim was first used by Lok8u, they were the first to ship a micro-SIM product in the United States — a watch that relays the location of children from their wrists to their parents’ cellphones.Jobs Got in Second on the Act here but will claim the Glory and portray this as Apples invention too.

Today’s News Puts a Damper on the Hopes of People wanting to use their existing network Simcard on the Apple Ipad

Apple has added a section to its iPhone FAQ confirming that you won’t be able to use one Micros SIM in both the smartphone and the Apple iPad.

Thousands off people who don’t want to Sign up to New 2 Year  Contracts from Carriers planned to buy an Ipad  Sim Free and use their Existing Simcards which have free or cheap internet packages by converting then by cutting them self or through the of micro sim cuttings tools have had their Plans blown out of the window for Now with the new announcement.

The official line on this from UK O2 is “The micro-SIMs for the iPhone are set up to allow voice calls, SMS messages and data functionality, whereas the iPad micro-SIM is provisioned to allow pay-as-you-go data transfer only.”

“The two devices are designed to give a different experience. The iPhone 4 is for regular use, whereas with the iPad we offer moreflexibility over data use.”

Makes perfect business sense from Apple’s point of view, but seems a riff off as the Device is Purchased Sim Free and such Restrictions should not be placed. This means we need to have two monthly data plans if we want 3G mobile browsing.

The two types of Micro Sim card for Apple ipad & Iphone 4 Explained and Can you use if you convert you existing sims to micro sim format.

Most networks around the world sell 2 types of network simcard.

  1. Voice & Data Enabled Simcard where you can Make Calls and also Use to Surf the Net. This is the most common type of simcard around the world and is same as what we find in mobile phones and phones like Iphone 3G 3G 3GS.
  2. Data Only Simcard Where you cant make Calls but Can use to surf the Net Only. This type of network simcard is quite new and only few years old & can only be used in devices who primary function is to supply Data only Services and you will already find these kinds of simcards in devices like data dongle & Mifi Devices and often are bundled in to deals with Laptops that are sold with internal wireless GPRS EDGE 3G Modems.

If you already have a Good mobile contract Deal with Free Data allowance this Leaves you with the Following options if you convert you network sim to micro format and buy a Sim Free iphone 4 or Ipad 3G.

Can i use my Normal Voice & Data enabled Sim ?

Sim Free iphone 4              Sim Free ipad

YES                                                 No

Sim Free iphone 4              Sim Free ipad

Yes *                                                    Yes

*To be confirmed by our guess is Yes but for Data Only and not voice


UK Mobile Networks and thier offerings for Micro Sims

Rival networks OrangeVodafone and 3 are all offering customers the chance to pre-order the Micro SIMs needed to use the iPad’s 3G capabilities

The UK O2 network is offering its daily tariff (£2 per day for 500MB) but users need to wait for Friday before they can order their SIM.

Next gen Apple iPhone 4G & ipad has Micro SIM

January 29, 2010

With the Apple iPad going live, there is a new term in the block called Micro SIM. So lets talk here about it and what it actually is.

As the name goes A micro-SIM is a miniaturized alternative to a SIM card for subscriber identification on mobile devices. The physical size of the card is 12mm x 15mm though it is smaller than the mini SIM used in GSM mobile telephony devices, the contact area is identical.

The micro-SIM is identified as Mini-UICC in the ISO 7816 specification.

T-Mobile and Lok8u announced during the 2010 International CES in Las Vegas that they would be the first to bring Micro Third-Form-Factor (3FF) SIM cards to the US Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Market with a line of wearable GPS locator devices.

The micro-SIM format received a major boost when announced as the means of adding third-party 3G connectivity to the Apple iPad. Micro-SIMs have been used for a several years in embedded smart devices, such as power meters.
