What to do before putting the SIM into your Google Nexus One

Before you start inserting the SIM card into your Google Nexus One, it is actually important to test 2 or 3 things. First of all, we advise you to switch off the Google Nexus One before you set the SIM card. We also recommend you to test if the sort of SIM card you have corresponds to the model of your phone. Indeed, there are several types of SIM cards and every cellphone is compatible with a specific type. Refer to the last section of this tuto to learn more.

Ways to insert the SIM card into the Google Nexus One

Based on the model of your Google Nexus One, there are two possible techniques for inserting the SIM card. The right process should consequently be one of the following.

Method 1: Insert the SIM card by the side of your Google Nexus One

To insert the SIM card into your Google Nexus One, first find the slot that is generally on the side of the phone. It is rather easy to spot it because there is often a small hole next to it. When you have found it, you will have to insert a pointed object into the small hole next to the slot. For example, you can use a paper clip to do so. By pushing into the hole, the SIM card rack should come out. You should after that remove the rack from the slot. Simply insert the SIM card into this rack and re-insert it into your Google Nexus One. That’s it!

Method 2: Insert the SIM card from the back of the Google Nexus One

If your Google Nexus One does not have a slot on the side, this means that the SIM slot is on the back of the phone. The first step will likely be to remove the cache on the back of the Google Nexus One. To do this, you simply have to unfasten it with your fingertips. Once completed, you should see the location of the SIM card. From time to time the location is under the battery. In this case, you should remove the battery. All you have to do is insert the SIM card into your Google Nexus One. Be careful to put it in the right direction, the gold side of the card must be down. Reassemble everything and it’s good!

The different types of SIM cards

There are three diverse types of SIM cards. Indeed, these 3 types differ according to their size. We thus find:

  • The SIM card: which is of standard size.
  • The Micro SIM card: that is smaller than the standard size.
  • The Nano SIM card: which is really incredibly small. The chip covers almost the entire surface.

In case you do not have the right SIM card for your Google Nexus One, you can actually ask your operator for another one. There are as well adapters that will resolve compatibility issues. Finally, when you have a standard SIM card, it could be cut to make it into Micro SIM or Nano SIM. At your peril.
