I'm trying to get the SIM out of my iPhone 5, but the tray won't open. I do not have the official Apple SIM removal tool, but I have a paper clip that's around the same size. I'm giving it some force, but nothing is happening and I don't want to break it. What should I do?
iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.2, White 32GB
Try something thinner think a paperclip is to thich to eject it correctly

this has happened to me as well. I also have an iphone 5 and sometimes you need to really be persistent with the paper clip as sometimes it doesnt work immediatly. keep at it. I was scared i would screw it up also and frusturated but good luck
Agree with zack b77. Same thing happened to me and eventually it works. I guess I had to have the angle or the pressure just right.
If your having difficulty you can always order a sim tray tool or go to a local cell phone carrier and have them remove it for you! (Or an Apple store as well I imagine)
Not that it makes any difference, as a paperclip is just as effective, but here in the UK you can buy a hundred SIM removal tools for 99 pence. đ
I have problem also with my simcard inside my iphone and they bring to customer service and they want me to pay 500 dirham is it real
You are right. It had to do with the angle, not so much the pressure.
