Q: Unable to get SIM card out of iphone 3

I have removed SIM cards before on another Iphone 3G.  Got a different one today and pushing in a paper clip is not working.  Do they get stuck sometimes?  Is there anything to jar it loose?  How hard does it need to go in?  What happends if I press too hard?

    I paper clip usually does the trick. You shouldn't have to push it in very hard, the SIM card should pop out pretty easy. I have heard of the SIM getting stuck. I would take it to Apple or to your carrier and let them try. They will have more experience.
