Solavei is the latest carrier to launch its own nano-SIM cards to fit the iPhone 5, in an effort to grab some of the iPhone crowd (similar to T-mobile’s BYOD setup). On the looks of things, it seems great value for money. For $49 per month you’ll get unlimited calls, texts and data. It’s worth noting that once you hit 4GB at high-speed, you will be…
Here in the West we’ve been rocking our iPhone 5s for three weeks. It’s easy to forget sometimes that countries half way across the world haven’t had access to Apple’s latest and greatest smartphone. Ahead of launch in China on the China Unicom network, Nano-SIMs have been showing up by the box load. Over recent months and years, Apple’s been…
Although you may have never heard of the it, NOOSY has created a Nano SIM cutter,which is just the thing if you’re planning on upgrading to the new iPhone 5 from an older device that uses a regular or Micro SIM card. All you need to use the cutter is a regular or Micro SIM-card, and you are able to cut to the size of either a Nano SIM, which is handy,…
In answer to the question posed in the title: very small. I went to my carrier’s store today to get my account switched over to a Nano SIM ready for my iPhone 5′s arrival tomorrow.

Late last night, Phonedog (our mothership) got hold of a very interesting leaked image. The photo shows AT&T’s new Nano SIM design, ready for the iPhone 5′s arrival on Friday (3 more sleeps! Eek!). We all know by now that the Nano is a smaller design than the Micro that preceded it. Less excess plastic around the actual SIM contact. As said very…
There’s an interesting story circulating the web today, originating from our very own sister site, TmoNews. David Beren got hold of a leaked screen shot showing Tmo’s plans to start stocking iPhone 5-friendly Nano SIMs from October. Magenta has been hard at work pushing through the refarming of its spectrum to an iPhone compatible band. Although…
Sightings of nano-SIMs haven’t exactly been scarce in the last week, but given the timing, it pretty much confirms two things. The first of which being that the iPhone 5 will use a nano-SIM, and the second, that the iPhone 5 will be released tomorrow. Not exactly big news, but at least it does confirm something. Vodafone UK has over 500,000 of these SIMs…

Over the past couple of years, Apple has been fighting it out against Nokia and RIM to get its own smaller, Nano SIM card design accepted as the next widely used standard technology. If you thought Micro SIM was already small enough, Cupertino’s designers and engineers disagree with you. The most recent in purported leaked iPhone parts is the new SIM…
