Re: Removing a SIM
Hi, Mark and Sieghard. Thanks for your responses. I had no major trouble today getting the SIM in correctly - thanks for the advice. Mark, the T-Mobile iPhone, purchased directly from Apple, is unlocked.

RE: Removing a SIM
Hi Brice, Yes, you need to use a paper clip or the little tool which should come with your iPhone to push down in the hole next to the SIM tray. This will pop it out a bit and then you can pull it out. The Nano SIM is very tiny and yes, it only goes in one way. Also, when you pull out the tray, make sure you don';t turn it over otherwise it won't go back in. As for the card, it has one corner which is slightly cut off. This can be hard to feel on a Nano SIM because it's so tiny. If you can feel it, the cut-off corner goes towards the power button on the side of the phone or, if you are facing the edge of the phone with the SIM tray, it will be to the right. The cut-off corner also stays towards the edge or outside of the phone. In other words, the side opposite to the cut-off corner goes in the phone first just like you would slide a knife into its case point first. Make sure you do this on a table or a surface where you can easily find the card should you drop it.

RE: Removing a SIM
Hello Brice, Moving a SIM card from one phone to another, especially when the phones accept the same size SIM, is a piece of cake. I do it all the time. Just be sure that the phone is off when either removing or inserting the SIM card. By the way, from where did you purchase your unlocked 6 plus? I've been toying with the idea of getting an unlocked 6 plus, myself.

Re: Removing a sim card from an Iphone
Hi, Just a little tip here. My phone didn't come with one of those eject tools and I tried using the smallest paper clip that I could find but had no luck. Turns out that one of those push pins that you use on a bulletin board works like a champ.

Re: Removing a sim card from an Iphone
You will need a small pointed object or the eject tool that came with the phone. On the right side of the phone you will find the small eject hole. Push the eject tool in to this hole to pop out the sim tray. The micro sim can then be removed and the tray reinserted.
