Ever wanted to install a couple of extra SIM cards on your iPhone 6? Here’s exactly how to do just that. I guess you never thought this was ever possible to do, but it’s right here!
A lot of people find it hard to manage multiple phones with different SIM cards, but if you want a better demarcation between your work and home life, or you want to make roaming with multiple SIM cards easier, having the extra SIM or SIMs already in your smartphone is a big breakthrough. Some people think of phones with multiple SIM slots as “inferior” or “China-like” but if you need convenience and are the type that can’t handle the use of multiple phones (like myself), this is the only way forward.
Question is “How do you install an extra SIM or two into the iPhone 6? After all, that SIM tray is far too small for another SIM to fit in. .
Here’s the solution! Fear not, no Jailbreaking or “tweaking is required”.
How to install a multiple SIM adapter in an iPhone 6
1. Enter the SIMore X-Triple 6, a dual SIM device that allows you to have 3 SIM cards (1x nano SIM, 1x micro SIM and 1x mini SIM) in your smartphone.
2. The nano SIM sits in the SIM card tray along with the tail of the X-Triple 6 adapter so that it makes contact with the SIM card pin assembly inside the handset (yes, that ribbon cable is thin enough to fit between the SIM tray and the body of the iPhone 6. Then the other SIM cards fit into the adapter.
Now you don’t want to be moving about with a string of ribbon cable hanging off your handset, which is exactly why you pop it all into a supplied case, which keeps everything neat and tidy. The case also protects your handset and also servers as a holder for additional SIM cards and a SIM tray popout pin. #winning
There you go! It’s that simple. You can switch between SIM cards by going to Settings > Phone >SIM Applications.
This kit is relatively inexpensive. It includes the adapter and a case for your iPhone 6 (Bonus if you don’t yet have a case), is around $53. Unfortunately, the SIM adapter doesn’t fit well with the iPhone 6 Plus, so you need a flexible rubber case for that.
There are versions available for other smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and S6.
