Hi,
I just received the Sony experia Z through contract upgrade through Vodafone. However after unboxing I cannot seem to find a micro Sim card included. Has this happened to anyone else.
Paul
Check if it's inside your phone. If it's not, Call up Vodafone and check.

Yeah it isn't in the box or inside the phone. I rang up vodafone and they said it should have been included however they wouldn't agree to send me out a Sim as I didn't have my Vodafone pin on me. Bit of a hassle and disappointment.
Because these are no longer New, they may assume you have one even though your last phone didn't use them! People who upgrade to high end phones have micro SIMs already in their eyes.
I got my phone in a retail store and I had to keep reminding him I needed a micro SIM, and a normal Mini SIM for my old phone,he kept trying to finish the transaction as it it was a straight swap.

Yeah, but that's Vodafone. Don't let them ruin your experience with the Xperia Z

True. I normally get my phones from retail and avoid ordering online or by phone to avoid these issues.

Just google how to turn sim into micro sim.
I just downloaded a template and cut it myself.

So I have the ATRIX HD and I love it, but there's one thing that's annoying me. I can't get my sim card to stay in place within the slot, it doesn't click in like the microsd card does. I'm not sure if that's what's supposed to happen but I've just been closing the door to the slot area and it seem to stay in place and my phone radio works. Anyone have any ideas or pics they could post as to how theirs looks? Thanks!!!

The sales rep at the store had the same issue, but he eventually got it to lock in. I haven't removed it to try myself, but it looked like he had to push it in a little further than the microSD to make it work.
Edit: just tried it and I had to use a key (just what I had laying next to me) to get it to go in and click.
Sales rep had the same issue inserting my sim. She actually chipped her nail getting it in. Guess it was her first AHD

Same Problem
Me and my friend bought (both) ATRIX HDs on eBay.com (NEW IN BOX).. and when they arrived we faced the same problem, Micro SIMs does not Pop in correctly on both phones. Friend tried to force SIM to pop in and stay there but he broke spiral(or how it is called) inside and it will not Pop out without same help... On the other hand I can not Lock in my micro SIM and it pops out.. I have to force and close the cover so that SIM stays IN...
P.S. SIMs work on both phones..(even though it is not locked in my phone, but I am afraid not to break cover as sim pushes cover hard from inside

Hello All,
Can someone please provide their experience with using a dual SIM adapter on their Note II device.
I am thinking of this for future traveling.
T.I.A.
I have a gmate+. Was very good and handling well on 4.1.2. But when I flash 4.3. The device blocked during call. Restarting. Lost voice. It has issues with android 4.3. Hope they will update the app. I really like that device and it was all I need to transform my phone to a dual sim active phone.

Thank you smentoma!
This will be a good start
Have been using the MAGIC SIM Elite dual SIM adapter for quite some time now and it has been working as expected.
Have been able to utilise both SIM's 3g/4g connections with no issues and switching between SIMs isn't difficult (requires activating/deactivating airplane mode).
It isn't dual standby/active, meaning that its only one SIM active at a time. You can set it up (not a feature of the adapter, but something to arrange with carrier), so that if one SIM is inactive, it will forward calls to the other SIM which is active and vice versa. That way you won't/shouldn't miss out on calls.
Can be tricky to insert into the Note 2's SIM card slot.
My trick to inserting it, is to first put a micro SIM in to disengage the spring lever that's in the slot, then carefully pull the micro SIM out with needle-nose pliers (don't push the SIM to get it out like you normally would), then place the dual SIM adapter (micro-SIM side) into the slot and slide the micro SIM in. That way the adapter won't impinge on the spring lever and will more than likely sit over the SIM slot contacts (hope that made sense).
It's very easy to either pull too hard or twist it and damage the flex cable.
Have been using it with Beanstalk 4.3 ROM and TW 4.1.2 stock and no issues with either ROMs
It will bulge out a little when putting the battery cover back on.
Thanks Optimistic Pessimist!
I'm looking for a dual SIM adapter, so thank you for this thread. It will help me. Anyway, did u try anyone in AOSP 4.4?
Here is mine, got it from ebay for USD 5, was for the iphone 5, but will also work for android, infact any of them from ebay will work, no need to spend the extra cash for a magic sim.
Thanks kms108!
The continued support from this forum is absolutely incredible!

It's more convenience, especially if you are on the move, there are BT units available that allows 2 sim, 3 sim or 4 sim active at the sametime.
I know that....but if you are driving and need receive a call over bluethoot you cant....soo phone lose that usuability.
Ive sell my grand duos and bought note 2 because the performance.....and bought another cheap phone for other sim card (htc desire z). Since its a company number I dont use alot. But need to stay "alive" all the time

Do NOT put adapter without card! It will get stuck in the sim slot.

I guess you found out the hard way to lol. Just wanted to make sure it wasnt the adapters thanks for your repl. I feel stupid but relived hhah.
I have a sim card adapter in my RAZR HD without my nano card in it and it doesn't get stuck. I got a set on Amazon that work great.
I bought this set. You have to make sure you install it flush but I've had no issues.

sorry I did not make it clear, I meant the sim slot like iphone 4/4s which has a sim tray to pull out.
The RAZR HD has a SIM tray that pops out. I've never seen a iPhone one though so no idea if it's similar.

Good to know I just ordered 3 sets same.
I just came home from the tmobile store with my brand new note 4. (Rooted and recovery before even charging the battery) I stuck the sim card from my s4 into it and get that message when I try to access the Internet. I'm on the prepaid unlimited data 70 a month plan. I put the sim back in my s4 and am writing this from it. Any ideas? :confused
Solved : I needed this line in the apn http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Try a different SIM if you can. If not, I would take it back to the store and ask them about it.

Yeah I have 2 Sim now. The one from my s4 which I assumed was only a matter of switching out. And the one that came with the note. Which one should I be using? I will call to tomorrow but if possible I would like to resolve it tonight I can't wait any longer to play with my new phone.
when I was in the store, I've been using my phone with Sim card from different phone. I had no problems at all for about 3-4 months and after, my phones whole voice just dropped. When I went back into the store, they told me that my voice shouldn't have worked with different Sim, so I got a replacement. Maybe you just need a new Sim to activate with your new note 4?
and congrats on getting a new note 4!! definitely a top phone

Like many of you in the past, I am a Verizon unlimited data customer that didn't want a phone that was locked down from Darth Verizon. I purchased my galaxy nexus December of 2011. I just purchased my Nexus 6 from Moto's website and am psyched. All I have to say is this experience going from a Galaxy nexus to Nexus 6 is going to be epic.
I'm in the same boat. My nexus 6 won't be here till 1/5/15 so let me know what your steps are for getting the Sim activated.

I just did the exact same thing, G Nexus to Nexus 6 (got mine in on Monday). I printed out a template online (check with ruler after printing to make sure it's the correct size) and cut my SIM with scissors. Had to do a little filing to get it to fit flush in the SIM holder, just need to make sure you don't cut it too small. I think all the electronic are in the center oval so make sure not to cut into that part at all. Everything is working for me, calls, text, LTE.

Just note that since you're using a LTE sim card that old, it may cause problems even though you don't experience any.. your signal may not be as good as a new sim card.

Noted, although I've definitely been getting better LTE service than with my GNexus. There are two main spots on my way into work that I used to lose signal and now I don't.
I'm actually excited for you. That's quite the upgrade.

OP should get a reward, I change phones more than I change my toothbrush in a year (kidding of course).
But yeah the difference would be night and day.
As for my Sim, I called Verizon and said I ordered an HTC M8. They are shipping it. I also ordered a nano to micro sim adapter. I am going to put my newly acquired nano sim in the adapter and place it in my galaxy nexus to verify it works. Then remove it and place it in the Nexus 6. Hopefully it works
