FONA SIM card questions

Post by billf »

The description for the FONA ( https://www.adafruit.com/product/1946 ) says I could use a " 2G Mini SIM card ". On the TMobile site, they show a SIM card, a micro-SIM card and a nano-SIM card, but not a mini. So which SIM card fits in the FONA?

Here are the sizes of sim cards http://socialcompare.com/en/tools/compa ... vs-iphone4 They also make adapters for sims and some come on a punch card where you punc out the size you need. I'll check to make sure mini-sim is the correct size.

Mini SIMs are 1" x 0.6" / 25mm x 15mm
this is sometimes just called "SIM" not "mini sim"

I used this prepaid service and it came with both a 'standard' SIM and micro SIM. The standard SIM is the size that fits. The micro SIM is much smaller and pops out of the standard SIM for tiny phones. Look for a standard SIM, it looks like:
