To insert the SIM card into your Tecno Spark 4, first find the slot that is generally on the side of the mobile 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. One example is, you can utilize a paper clip to do so. By pushing into the hole, the SIM card rack should come out. You must after that remove the rack from the slot. Simply insert the SIM card into this rack and re-insert it into your Tecno Spark 4. That’s it!
Process 2: Insert the SIM card from the back of the Tecno Spark 4
If your Tecno Spark 4 will not have a slot on the side, this means that the SIM slot is on the back of the mobile phone.

Once done, you should see the location of the SIM card. Sometimes the location is under the battery. In this case, you should turn off the battery. All you have to do is insert the SIM card into your Tecno Spark 4. 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 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 extremely small. The chip covers almost the entire surface.
In the event you do not have the proper SIM card for your Tecno Spark 4, you can actually ask your operator for another one. There are as well adapters that will solve compatibility issues. Finally, in case you have a standard SIM card, it may be cut to make it into Micro SIM or Nano SIM. At your peril.
