If you have an iPhone 17 with a physical SIM slot and want to safely add or remove a SIM Card to your device, then this guide is for you.
Here we have shared easy-to-follow instructions that will help you add or swap a SIM card. Whether you’re switching carriers, using a travel SIM, or moving between phones, this is the safest way to do it.
First of all, make sure you have a SIM ejector tool. It comes in your iPhone 17’s box. If you don’t have the SIM ejector tool, then you can also use a paperclip.
- Place your iPhone on a tabletop or a flat surface.
- Find the SIM tray. It is usually found on the right side of your iPhone 17.
- Carefully insert the eject tool or paperclip into the tiny hole next to the tray.
- Press gently and straight until you feel a click and the tray pops out.
- Slide the tray out fully and lift the SIM out.
- Add the new SIM to the tray while making sure the gold contacts face up, and the angled corner is aligned with the tray.
- Slide the tray back into the device until it sits flush.
That’s it, this is how you can add or remove a SIM card to your iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro. Keeping a SIM ejector tool handy in your wallet, everyday carry, or luggage can prove to be very useful when you want to swap a SIM card.
