Technique 1: Insert the SIM card by the side of your Honor X8
To insert the SIM card into your Honor X8, first of all find the slot that is generally on the side of the smartphone. It is rather easy 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. One example is, you can employ a paper clip to do so. By pushing into the hole, the SIM card rack should come out. You must then remove the rack from the slot. Simply insert the SIM card into this rack and re-insert it into your Honor X8. That is it!

The different types of SIM cards
There are three diverse types of SIM cards. Indeed, these 3 types differ according to their size. We so 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 little. The chip covers nearly the entire surface.
In the event you don’t have the right SIM card for your Honor X8, you can actually ask your operator for a different one. There are also adapters which could solve compatibility issues. At last, when you have a standard SIM card, it may be cut to make it into Micro SIM or Nano SIM. At your peril.
