corkman Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Presumably if you buy an iPhone 5 from the apple store it is sim unlocked? I frequently travel between Ireland and Thaialnd and so want to be able to change SIM cards at either end, easily. Is this possible or do I need to go into a shop each time to get a technician to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneyboy Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have a sim free iPhone 4 it will take any sim any where any time. No technician or phone shop needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) When you bought the iPhone 5, you should have gotten a small pin with it, (looks like a paperclip) this is used to eject the Nano Sim Card Tray. Edited July 23, 2013 by MJCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) It's pretty easy. As MJCM says you can do it yourself with the tool, or I find a toothpick works well. Whether the phone's radios are fully compatible with the Irish system is another story. Edited July 23, 2013 by Chicog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use a Paper Clip (as shown in the picture) or as Chicog said "a toothpick works well" Edited July 23, 2013 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yes it's SIM unlocked and easy to do yourself. The iPhone 5 uses a nano SIM format which is different from a standard SIM and also from a micro SIM. But these days nano SIMs seem to be widely available.
