How do I replace a SIM card

I have an iphone 7. ConsumerCellular is sending me a new SIM card. I found the pin hole on the right side of the phone and what looks like a small tray opening. I used a pin but the tray doesn't open. Is there a secret to it?

You need to push straight-in with the poker using a considerable amount of force.


The tray will then be pushed straight-out (why your poker needs to go straight “in”)


You’re not simply releasing a “latch” … the mechanical force you exert on the poker is being re-directed to become mechanical force pushing the SIM out of it’s sliding contacts.
