Removing Sim Card
Ok...I hope this doesn't sound stupid; but how can I remove the SIM card without damaging it?
Thanks

its hard to damage the sim card. just dont snap it. Other than that, your cool.

Take out the battery, and slide the sim card out! Simple and easy

Not a dumb question at all ...
I use my fingernail to move the card up until I can grab it ...

or a fork. seriously! I use one of the metal tines of a fork to press on the back of the card and slowly push it out. The fork tine digs into the material/plastic just a bit to give you some leverage. Actually works really well and as long as you don't push down to hard doesn't hurt a thing.

I would be careful about using metal objects to remove your SIM for two reasons;
A) Metal will transfer static electricity that can "fry" the chip in the card.
B) If you press too hard, you can crack the chip (it's a tiny piece of silicon).
Do either then you are back to the store to buy a new SIM.

Actually, the rubber eraser on a pencil works great. It has enough adhesion to slide it out far enough to grasp it.
