Nano-SIM cards for iPhone 5 in T-Mobile stores

iPhone users subscriber to T-Mobile can now get the Nano-SIM cards used on the iPhone 5.

Apple is not selling the iPhone 5 devices through T-Mobile however it allows T-Mobile subscribers to get Nano-SIM card through T-Mobile store for the unlocked iPhone 5 on its 4G HSPA+ network. The said SIM Card only started to show up just this weekend and it might not be available in U.S yet as per TmoNews.

If you wanted to use the card and login to T-Mobile’s network, your iPhone must be an unlock version already. A an unlocked iPhone 5 will cost $649(16GB), $749(32GB) and $849(64GB) and can be purchased directly from Apple Store or from carriers such as At&t and Verizon.

Since the iPhone 5 volume is smaller than that of the iPhone 4S, extra space are needed. Nano-SIM is the best sim card that suits iPhone 5. This Nano-SIM is 40% smaller than the micro-SIM card, and it’s the first to be used in a smartphone so it’s rare.

Nano-Sim is the official 4th form of factor SIM card as per European Telecommunications Standard Institute. Eventually, Nano-SIM will be easy to find but for now, would you get it or wait?

Apple to use Nano SIM cards

As the Apple event came to an end, Apple never announced what type of SIM cards will be used. But as the question stimulated the curiosity of everyone, the Apple website confirmed the rumors that the iPhone 5 will be using nano SIM standard.

It’s not a surprise though, since the nano SIM cards were designed by Apple itself. It’s good to see that the iPhone 5 uses the nano SIM card efficiently.  If you are getting the latest iPhone then a draw-back will be that the micro SIM cards cannot be used in the iPhone 5 so you will have to hope and pray that your telecom operator has the new nano SIM cards.
