Micro Sim Card Cutter

Bought this Micro SIM Cutter from Amazon marketplace third-party seller Eforcity. It works. You can read all the reviews for this and the other cutters that are being sold here on Amazon where some people seem to complain about their troubles with cutting their SIM cards into a Micro SIM. However, I think what this all comes down to is whether you are comfortable cutting up your SIM card into a Micro SIM card and whether your SIM card has a gold chip on the card that won't get chopped up by the cutter. 
 
 
From my looking at my old SIM cards for different phones and also looking at pictures of different SIM cards, it looks to me that if the SIM card is an older SIM card, then the chances are the gold chip on the card may be larger in size and therefore the greater the chance that the cutter may chop into it and may possibly render a non-workable SIM for you. If you have a spare SIM card that has the same size chip as on your working SIM card, then try cutting that as practice to see if you can cut the card evenly, and to see if the gold chip is not chopped into, and to also see what the now converted Micro SIM looks like as a result and comparing that result to pictures of actual working Micro SIM cards. 
 
 
Others have complained about how their cutter may not have cut smoothly around the card and had to be trimmed around the edges. I didn't have a problem with that. For me, the cutter cut the SIM nicely and converted it into a Micro SIM that worked fine on my iPhone. If you want to feel more confident about how you are cutting the card, you may want to hold the SIM card in place with your finger at the end on the SIM when the SIM is in the cutter to make sure for yourself that it cuts around the gold chip and that the SIM card doesn't slip out when cutting it.
