Tips on how to insert the SIM card into the XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro
Depending on the model of your XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro, there are two possible solutions for inserting the SIM card. The right procedure should therefore be 1 of the following.
Method 1: Insert the SIM card by the side of your XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro
To insert the SIM card into your XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro, first of all find the slot that is usually on the side of the mobile phone. It is really simple to spot it because there is often a little hole next to it. When you have found it, you will have to insert a pointed object into the little hole next to the slot. For instance, you can make use of a paper clip to do so. By pushing into the hole, the SIM card rack should come out. You need to then remove the rack from the slot. Simply insert the SIM card into this rack and re-insert it into your XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro. That is it!
Method 2: Insert the SIM card from the back of the XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro
If your XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro doesn’t have a slot on the side, this means that the SIM slot is on the back of the mobile phone. The first of all step will likely be to remove the cache on the back of the XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro. To do this, you just simply have to unfasten it with your fingertips. Once done, you should find out the location of the SIM card. From time to time the tracking is under the battery. In this case, you need to remove the battery. All you have to do is insert the SIM card into your XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro. Be careful to put it in the proper 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 different types of SIM cards. Indeed, these 3 types differ according to their size. We thus find:
- The SIM card: which is of regular size.
- The Micro SIM card: that is smaller than the standard size.
- The Nano SIM card: which is really incredibly little. The chip covers almost the entire surface.
In case you don’t have the proper SIM card for your XIAOMI Mi 8 Pro, you may ask your operator for a different 1. There are also adapters that may resolve compatibility issues. At last, in case you have a standard SIM card, it can be cut to make it into Micro SIM or Nano SIM. At your peril.
