Make your iPhone 5â€™s Nano-SIM work on other devices

If youâ€™re thinking of jumping on the iPhone 5 wagon but is a bit worried that its ultra-tiny SIM card’s compatibility to your other devices, then this accessory might just help you with that.

The announcement of iPhone 5 has raised quite a lot of eyebrows and one of the reasons for that is its use of Nano-SIM. Luckily, international telcos such as Vodafone are well aware of this and decided to make an adapter for the almost microscopic SIM so you can use it across all your devices.

Ok, you might be thinking that this info is useless because youâ€™d have to order from a company that’s half-way around the world from where you are. Well not quite, and I think that this is the part where the Chinese ingenuity kicks in. If it can be made, it can be copied and reproduced hundreds of times over. It’s just going to be a matter of time before we see this accessory being displayed on most cellphone stores in our country.

all the trouble of simply switching your SIM. There are emergencies like lowbatt scenarios. Not to mention their propriety USB adaptor which costs $30. Apple really won’t allow a simple sharing.

you’re right but if you can’t deal with them then don’t patronize apple. i don’t see full-monopolization here because if that’s so, all upcoming phones will carry micro or nano sims.

I’ve had a microsim to regular sized sim adapter for a year or so, they sell a lot of it in singapore, so i think the nano sim adapters should also be available when they release the iphone5 in sg…

off topic sort of: I remember that few years ago, there were proponents of universal charger and connectors for all gadgets specially mobile phones to reduce eco-waste made from non-biodegradable materials than can contribute to soil pollution eventually water contamination. But will all the new innovation on these accessories, the more eco-waste they will produce in the future. just a thought.
