How to insert the SIM card into the HUAWEI P40 Lite
Based on the model of your HUAWEI P40 Lite, there are two likely solutions for inserting the SIM card. The right process should therefore be one of the following.
Method 1: Insert the SIM card by the side of your HUAWEI P40 Lite
To insert the SIM card into your HUAWEI P40 Lite, 1st find the slot that is generally on the side of the phone. It is quite 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. As an example, you can employ a paper clip to do so. By pushing into the hole, the SIM card rack should come out. You will need to then remove the rack from the slot. Simply insert the SIM card into this rack and re-insert it into your HUAWEI P40 Lite. That’s it!
Method 2: Insert the SIM card from the back of the HUAWEI P40 Lite
If your HUAWEI P40 Lite doesn’t have a slot on the side, this means that the SIM slot is on the back of the phone. The 1st step will likely be to remove the cache on the back of the HUAWEI P40 Lite. To do this, you just have to unfasten it with your fingertips. Once carried out, you should find out the location of the SIM card. Oftentimes the tracking is under the battery. In this case, you have to remove the battery. All you have to do is insert the SIM card into your HUAWEI P40 Lite. Be careful to put it in the right direction, the gold side of the card has to be down. Reassemble everything and it’s good!
The different types of SIM cards
There are 3 different 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 extremely little. The chip covers almost the entire surface.
In case you don’t have the right SIM card for your HUAWEI P40 Lite, you may ask your operator for a different one. There are as well adapters which could solve compatibility issues. Finally, in case you have a standard SIM card, it can be cut to make it into Micro SIM or Nano SIM. At your peril.
