Turn Maxis Broadband SIM Card To a Micro SIM

Turn Your Standard Size Maxis Broadband SIM Cards to a Micro SIM is 100% Safe!

Why would you want to do that? If you just recently bought an iPad or an iPhone than you know you need a Micro SIM card.

Trust me — it’s just a fun to do. I know because I have successfully modding it with a Micro SIM card cutter.

The Mirco SIM card cutter works like a champ! The good news is, any mobile devices that need Micro SIM will just work. e.g. iPhone and iPad.

The modding and cutting works and good for Celcom, Digi or any celco SIM card that you are currently using.

Beware! Modding Your SIM Card Can Be Bad.

99.9% chances you will slot the casing back in to your broadband USB toggle so you will not lose it — Do not do it! It’s a bad idea.

This can happen to your broadband USB toggle. (picture below) If you slot it in and pull it out by force — all the contacts leg for your SIM card could be damage and become none repairable.

The Price You Pay for Modding

It always fun to show off how you can modify something and make it fun and useful again. My fun was over, I have to get a new Maxis broadband USB toggle that cost me RM115.
