Default Micro SIM card + adapter on Arc S...

Hello,
does someone use a micro SIM inside its Arc S with an adapter? I've read over the internet that some SIM housing might damage if you use micro SIM with adapter...

ooh, really?! and how does it keep in the right place without moving? I mean... standard sim slot present in our Arc / Arc S is much wider than the micro sim!

all sim cards are the same thickness so it wont move,you know the metal strip going across the sim tray,when you insert the microsim you want it centre to to the strip and equal distance either side.

Got it, thanks! I just was wondering if the SIM moves while I insert/use it and short circuits may happen and damage the circuitry...

For a free micro sim adapter, order a giffgaff sim below as it comes as a microsim inside a normal sim so you can either use the new sim or use it as a template to cut your old sim to size.

Order from below
