Anyone get their note II from tmobile? Did it come with a programmed mini sim ? I just found out about this and my old sim is the og and wont work in the note. If it doesnt come with a programmed sim am I going to have to bring it to a tmobile dealer to have it programmed?
You can either buy a new micro sim at their retail store, or you could just cut the sim into a micro sim.

I'm sure your n2 came with a micro sim in the box. You can always go to my.t-mobile.com and activate your new sim online. Takes about 2 mins and although it says it might take 2 hours to activate, it's almost always immediate.

Here in Sweden the carrier put my old sim in something that looked like a nail clipper. 2 seconds later a mini sim had been stamped out. I can only imagine your carrier has the same tool.
Simply take your old sim to your local dealer and let them know you need a micro for your GN2.. I did this when I got my GS3 and they transferred all my contacts as well cause I didn't back them up t google..
Just as a side note. If your like me and swap phones often and your old ones are mini SIM vs micro SIM them you will need a converter. You can get them on eBay for like a dollar. I think I paid 5 bucks for 5. This way you can use your mini SIM in your old phones. It's just a plastic template that the mini SIM fits into. I'm using one right now in my SG2. Rumor is T-Mobile will start carrying them as well. I think there's are red vs mine are black but the color makes no difference.

Not to nitpick, but for exactitude's sake: what we typically refer to as "regular" SIM cards are technically "Mini" SIMs. The "full-size" ones were credit-card sized and weren't around for very long.
Standard sim cards are "mini sim" The smaller squarish ones are micro sim. IF you bought brand new, should have a micro in the box. Otherwise, cut yours down. Takes less than 5 to go online and activate new micro tho.
Nice. Thanks for the tips!!! I didn't know it could be activated online and the nearest store is a half hour away . So thats definitely awesome. Should have it mon or tues. Thanks folks!

All you have to do is login to my.t-mobile.com and find the "activate sim card" Or, I guess you could do live chat or call them.

You can always call 611 and talk to customer care as well. They can activate it for you. And if your old phone had contacts on the sim card and it's backed up with tmobile's backup, you can port all the contacts as well. Or, have all your contacts via google mail, and all the contacts get automagically transferred over.
When I ordered my note 2 T Mobile sent a MicroSIM with it and you can just go to www.T-Mobile.com/sim to activate it.

I can't find mobile life contact on Note 2, didn't see the option to add it either on the setting. Am i missing something?
It shows up on my S3, but not on Note 2, stock Rom.
I guess i have to export it from T-Mobile and transfer it to google.

Actually if you have an old mini sim card or us people call it a sim card, some features like Wi-Fi calling won't work. That's what had to be done when I switched to the S2. Jumped ships onto the S3 was when I got my micro sim card, then switched to the Note 2, so now I have an extra micro sim card just in case.
Wanted to use my prepaid sim in my new Note2. Tmobile tried charging me $20 for a new micro sim which is ridiculous so I just went home and cut my sim down myself.

Hey guys.
I have a galaxy s2, and thinking of picking up a htc one x, purely for its awesomeness.
But i have my sim card in the s2, and im with o2, so i was wondering if the sim card will fit in the HTC One X. As i heard it has a micro sim? Has anybody with O2 had any experience with this?
Thanks
Adam
You'll need to covert it to a micro sim or phone 02 to get a replacement micro sim.
If you are a bit worried about cutting the sim, buy a sim cutter from eBay for a couple of quid.
alrite. i understand the procdure for transferring to a micro sim is pretty simple right?

Sim cut will work unless you have incompatible SIM A SIM that has really big contacts which look more like a globe than square. That's what I had from O2 in Ireland and it didn't work in One X.
So I went to O2 store, asked for replacement and got it after 1 minute of waiting, free of charge, already activated. They did not ask for old SIM, they simply deactivated it. Can't be any easier really
Didn't bother with a SIM cutter, just cut it myself using a template, a pair of scissors and a nail file! My O2 sim worked in my Vodafone handset (eventually!)
Right now I'm on Straight Talk, but want to switch to T-Mobiles' 4g Monthly plan. Where did you guys get the non-gba 50.01 micro sim card? I'm having no luck searching on Google. Called T-Mobile and had a dumb representative on the phone that kept insisting that I get a sim card and cut it ignoring what I actually needed. Called a lot of stores around me and they said they didn't carry it. Only found one guy on ebay selling them for $30 a piece, I'm not paying that. I would rather buy it officially from T-Mobile.
Bump.

There are other threads also discussing this.
I have a European One X, took me 30 mins of calling to find the right micro SIM. I contacted all of my local (within 5 miles of my house and office) T Mobile stores and struck out. I ended up calling a T Mobile store a few miles out and the store manager was kind enough to email his peers and called me back within 20 mins to tell me which store had it, that the store had it on hold for me and even gave me the name of the manager I should ask for.
T Mo USA customer service is no help as they cannot specify that you are in need of a non GBA micro SIM and so they will simply send you what they have (more than likely a newer micro SIM such as what is being shipped out with the One S).
You have to call around stores and ask yourself. Perhaps you will get lucky as I did and a manager will offer to check other stores and call you back. I simply told the manager I was speaking with that I just purchased an unlocked device from Europe and how excited I was to have it. The manager asked me what device and through "small talk" and a love for gadgets, he took the extra step and sent an email out and called me back (nice).
If you strike out, you will have no other choice but to purchase the SIM from Amazon or eBay.
Good luck!
Yeah that was who I called was the USA customer service. I wish it wasn't so hard to acquire this sim card, but I guess I'll try. Thanks .

Hope it works out, buddy. I too wasn't happy considering I may have to pay for SIM, let alone such a ridiculous price.
I have three regular size T-Mobile SIM cards version 50.01 if anyone needs one.
I am using one myself in my One X (S720E intl unlocked model) and it works fine.
Now, 2 left.
I have managed to find more of these if anyone needs one.

I'm on the verge of buying an S3 but off a friend. I talked to a T-mo rep and she was telling me about buying a Micro-SIM because cutting down the old ones won't work with WiFi calling and I would get signal issues. I'm pretty sure the signal issues don't have anything to do with the SIM card and WiFi calling doesn't appeal to me since I always have full signal in my house. I just want to know if I need to buy a new SIM card or not. Thanks everyone!

Good question if you ask me, does anyone know if it can be done?
Just got to a Tmobile store and ask for a micro sim. THey have them for free, or pm me and I'll send you one.
Then once you have the phone you can either call or go to the store and have them switch your line over to the new sim. If you call, just don't use the phone you are switching the sim from as it will drop the call once they enter the new sim card for your line.
Sim cards are usually free at T-Mobile I heard cutting down old sim cards will give you problems but not exactly sure what.
Just go to the store and ask for a new sim card and they can transfer everything over for you.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
When you go to the tmo store, make sure the card they give you is one that is capable of wifi calling. None of them in my area have the ones that are, you might have to get it from customer service.
I ran into this issue as well. I just figured the SIM from my Galaxy nexus would work with the S3 I purchased through Wirefly.com but it was too big (obviously). As others mentioned, I just went up to the local T-Mobile store and asked for a micro sim card to use with my new phone. They activated one and gave it to me all within 2 minutes of entering the store, free of charge.
I would laugh if T-Mobile tried to charge me for a new SIM card to use with their service. They should provide SIM cards for free, much the same as your bank giving you a replacement debit card at no extra charge since you are using their services.
There lying they just want u to get the "new" Sims that have throttling and tethering detection ... have my sim card from 2005 cut and using it on tmobile. 4g hspa+ no issues wifi calls work..

Before I got my s3, i went to my local t mobile store and told them i need a micro sim card for my new s3. They gave me one without a problem for free. I think in order to get one for free, you must be on a two year contract with t mobile and your account has to be in good standing.
if not try this http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-Mobile-Micro-SIM-Card it should work.
if that does not work, try ebay. if that does not work then just pay your t mobile store.
Ok I upgraded to the S3 yesterday and didn't know the sim card was smaller than the s2 so I cut it to fit and it works but only on UTMS not HSPA network like I got with my S2. It says 4G in the status bar but network is UTMS not HSPA like it's supposed to be. So my question is if I buy the special sim card at tmobile for $ 20 will it make a difference or not? Basically will I get my HSPA network status back.Makes no since that on the S2 I got HSPA but only UTMS on the S3. Is there something special in the newer sim cards? I noticed the gold pad on the mini micro's are smaller than the regular sim cards as well. Thanks for any insight.

If you call the 1-800 number for Tmobile and tell them what happened, they will tell you it's free.
That's what I did before I went down to the local Tmobile store to get my card replaced.
The way I found out it was free is I googled it and found it was free, this was even before I called
the toll free 1-800 number to verify it.
Hope the store that told you it's free is not too far from you.
Good luck!

Tmobile does not require you to buy a phone from them, I just switched to tmobile about 12 months
ago from AT&T and at that time I had the S2 then I purchased the unlocked S3 on eBay.
Even though it was new I never expected it to come with a sim card. LOL
I was unaware that the S3 sim is a lot smaller because I over looked that detail about the phone.
Then I went down to the local tmobile store and they gave me one free of charge and un-registered
the old larger sim which I had.

X's 2 !!! I too came from a S2 and just cut mine using a box cutter and all is well... u shud of saw my face when I cracked the back of my S3 open... Found a vid on YouTube that was my savior. .
So I will be getting the HTC One. I'm currently using an iPhone 5, and I want to be able to switch between the 2.
I know the iPhone 5 uses nano sim, and the HTC One uses micro sim, so I will have to buy an adapter.
However, will it even be possible to just switch sims, seeing as Verizon is CDMA?
Thanks!
I'm doing this same thing with my S4. You will have a SIM in the iPhone and a SIM in the HTC One.
You'll need to go onto the website and swap the active device on the line (takes like 5 mins, super easy).
Even if you could just drop the iPhone SIM into the HTC One (you can not), you'd still have to set the IMEI for the device to be the active device.
This is how they track data usage etc. Activation takes up to 15 minutes, but I noticed in my area in socal it took only 2 minutes.
There is no additional cost to swap or use a different device. Did this myself this morning, rep assured there is no charge but they do present a summary of what the line (your phone number) costs monthly. Not to be confused with the IMEI and SIM numbers (for which there is NO cost to swap, add, etc).

I've swapped my sim between at least 20 devices without ever needing to change anything on the verizon web page. The only time I have ever had to have any interaction with Verizon is when going from a nano to micro sim. However I've cut three micro sims to fit into iPhones without issue.

That's way too complicated. Just buy a $5 sim adapter off Amazon and voila. I switch between my s4 and iPhone on a weekly basis and have never had to call verizon or use the website.
With sim adapter I've been using the Same sim and switching between my galaxy s4, iPhone 5, bb Z10, and lumia 928.
Ok, so it looks like there are a couple different options, and now at least I know it's definitely possible to do easily.
Thanks for the replies everyone, you're awesome!

**EDIT** Ha! Snap, 600th post. Sorry, had to, I got excited for a second.
I went by a Verizon store today to purchase an HTC One. At the store, there was a sticker on the HTC One that said "NFC SIM required to activate". The sales person didn't know if my nano sim / adapter would work at all in the HTC One. We couldn't even test it, because he said I'd be charged a $35 restocking fee if it didn't work, and if I decided not to purchase... I decided not to take the risk.
Has anyone actually tried moving an iPhone 5 nano sim to an HTC One (using an adapter)?
Can an active nano sim (non-NFC sim) be used / moved a new HTC One, or is a NFC sim really required to activate??

I have not and I don't know the answer to your last question, however I've decided I'm just going to keep the nano sim in the iPhone and keep a sim in the htc one and when I want to switch I'll just go to VZW website and switch phones, like the first answer said. It's real simple so for me it's no big deal. I'd rather not put the wear and tear on the sim and sim tray.
I switch between my HTC One, SG3, and SG4 but they all have same size SIM.
I heard adapters can cause issues
gotta love how apple does everything different until it comes to software that was in Android light years before iOS
how do I tell if my SIM is NFC?
I am still using my SIM card I got when I bought Samsung s3

This will not work. As soon as you activate the One VZ will "burn" your i5 sim. Same thing going the other direction. VZ will not allow you to have two (2) working sim cards.

...I've decided I'm just going to keep the nano sim in the iPhone and keep a sim in the htc one and when I want to switch I'll just go to VZW website and switch phones, like the first answer said. It's real simple so for me it's no big deal. I'd rather not put the wear and tear on the sim and sim tray.

Verizon used to disable a SIM after its been used... i.e. SIM A in phone, switch to SIM B, SIM A is no longer usable. So your plan might now work.
Instead, you'll likely have to activate the Nano SIM for the iPhone 5, then use an adapter when moving your iPhone 5 SIM to another phone...
Two SIM adapter options are -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009B9YWB4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ABEA7E/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (i've ordered each of those, so I know they work ).
i literally just reactivated my nano sim, stuck it in my iPhone to make sure it worked, and then put it into my One using an adapter. works fine
I guess you can call Verizon and have them send you a sim card.
.. but only one lol
got one coming. just in case ever need one
they send for free and doen't charge for the SIM if anyone every wants to save themselves a trip to the VZW store
I had them send NFC SIM, didn't realize i dont need it but oh well.
she actually sent me two because their systems were slow and she never asked my address and I said ur sending it to my appt right, and shes like.. no.
she was very nice, apologized for not asking, and instead said f it and said ill just send one to you and one to the original order cos their computers weer sucking lol
