Nano SIM Card
Once again, Apple iPhone 5 lead the industry with the new iteration in the mobile industry. The first time Apple did this was the introduction of iPhone 4 with a Micro SIM card on June 7, 2010.
The Nano SIM design is 30% smaller and 15% thinner than the existing Micro SIM. This practically hard to DIY but not impossible.
The easiest and safest way to do this is buying a new Nano SIM from Telco for RM20 (Digi).

So the saying..”Good things come in small packages” huh?
It does? Hahaha Okay on this case, yes! If you’re going to give me a present, I want a big one!
so sim is finally cut to the size of chip ) now only can make contact pad smaller, which will result in incompatibility of newer sim with current ones, which have still same pad size
I think it safe to buy a SIM card holder. Nano SIM card holder is sure to be around for other SIM card tray.
Customer who DIY current standard or Micro SIM card size to Nano proven to work on the web. Practically all the SIM are reservable to work with any phone.
