    Need sim adaptor large to small

    Need an adaptor so i can put a full size(credit card size) sim into a small size sim .
    Dont know if anything excist. Could prob make one with old card slot from a sat/cable box with some wire and a circuit board made with sim contacts but dont have the stuff for making the board.

    I'm not quite sure exactly what you're trying to do?

    If you have a small SIM and want to put it into an old style phone then most new SIM's come on a full size SIM holder that gets thrown away once the small SIM is popped out.

    If you are trying to get a full size SIM to work with a device (phone?) that has a small SIM holder then I would look at old pre-1998 cell phones like the Nokia 2010i for example for the large socket. If you need a dummy SIM to sit in the small socket then look for so called "dual SIM" adaptors on e-bay.

        You used to be able to buy SIM cutters to cut the SIM neatly. You can then fit the large SIM back into a discarded "holder" if you need a full size SIM at any time!

        Otherwise you'll need to get a dual SIM adaptor that has a SIM shaped circuit board and run six wires to the corresponding pins of a large SIM holder! You'll probably find an old SIM holder on an old Analogue Sky receiver or even decoder! Messy but it should work provided the modem allows some clearance for the wires to exit the device...

              And you don't even need a soldering iron!
