I think I messed up cutting my sim card?

I tried to cut my straight talk micro sim card to fit an iphone 5, which takes a nano sim. Now, my phone keeps searching for signal every few seconds, is that why?

You can't cut up a SIM card. It will not function correctly, or at all!

Try telling your service provider (IF APPLICABLE) what happened. If they are nice, they will give you another one. Not sure if it will cost, though.

Please be careful next time!

Actually you can cut a SIM card I have straight talk and my service is perfectly fine. I ordered a micro sim (because that's all they had) and cut it myself actually watching YouTube videos on how to. Maybe you cut into the sim to far in and messed up. If you have the money I recommend buying a new one and this time search YouTube or actually you can buy a nano SIM card cutter on amazon or eBay if your to nervous to try again. Hope I helped

  • Should i risk cutting my mini sim to a micro sim? I have a iPhone 3GS but i recently bought myself an iPhone 4. I found out that i will need a micro sim as opposed to a mini sim, but i was wondering if i should risk cutting it down with a kitchen knife or something. I'm currently with vodafone and have had my sim card for about a year if that affects it? Is it easy to do? What are the risks? Am i likely to mess it up? What are problems faced when doing this? Any extra info would be much appreciated.
