Find your device model written below to determine where the SIM tray is located. To open the SIM tray, insert the end of a paper clip or SIM eject tool into the hole next to the tray. Then apply pressure on the iPhone, but don’t force it. However, if you’re having trouble removing the SIM tray, take your device to your carrier or an Apple Store for help.
After removing the iPhone SIM card from the tray, take a look at the notch on one end of the new SIM card.
