Something that a priori may seem as simple as putting the SIM card and the memory card of our mobile phone, can become a headache. However, it is a matter of taking a look at these tips to be able to place sim and microsd cards without confusion.
There are not a few users who have problems every day when they release their mobile and face the moment of inserting the SIM card and the memory card. The batteries of today’s smartphones, including the input range, are no longer removable, so on many occasions , SIM and memory cards share a tray, so their proper placement is essential for both to work correctly.
Where does each card go
Find your location
Although most mobiles have a common denominator, the location of the trays for the SIM card and the microSD card depends a lot on each manufacturer. In this case, the best step is to use the manufacturer’s manual that comes with our mobile, as it is required by law to graphically show the location of both slots, and the method to open it.
In this way we can get out of doubts, about whether the SIM card shares space with the memory tray or if they are inserted in different trays. We can also know this by visual examination of the sides of our device. When doing so, we will be able to see one or two trays, identified with the small holes that serve to introduce the opening tool.
If they don’t share a tray
If the SIM card and memory card go in separate trays on your mobile, it will be easier to install. If your mobile does not indicate by means of a small silkscreen what each tray is, the size will be the best clue. What we will have to do is remove both trays. Since there can be several sizes of SIM card, the best test we will do with the microSD card, which always have the same size.
Since the memory card can only go in one position, we must discard one of the two trays after testing if the position does indeed fit the space dedicated to it. It is important not to force the entry and try another position in case the tray does not close smoothly.
If they share a tray
For some users it is even more difficult to locate where each card goes in the event that they share a tray, but nothing is further from reality. Each card has its space and one cannot go in the other, so it will only take us a few seconds to get out of doubt.
In this case, we will have to remove the card tray using the SIM card eject tool . It is important to note, that the side of the tray that has letters on each side is the top side. In addition, in the tray we will see arrows and even text, which tells us what part is for each card and its position.
Once placed, and with the phone screen and the top of the tray facing us, we must insert the card tray into the slot, making sure the cards stay level with the card tray.
