No sim tool in box

[mustangboy88]

We just received my wife's unlocked 5s. I was expecting to see a sim removal tool, but there wasn't one. Is this normal for the TMO unlocked phones?

Not sure about the TMo 5S... but my AT&T 5S also did not come with a SIM tool. Luckily, I kept the SIM tool from my iPhone 4. It's actually on my key chain.

Damn. My comes tomorrow and we were going to throw some straight talk on for the next 30 days til I get reassigned to the UK. (Active Duty Air Force) Guess I'll jump on amazon and order one up.

Looking at Amazon, would a simple paper clip work? Or is it shaped?

Just use a ear ring. That what I always use. And no. Iphone in the USA don't bring a sim unlock tool

A paper would work, just bend it.

My T-Mobile 5s also didn't come with a SIM eject tool. However I took it to the AT&T store as that's the carrier I'm with, and the rep had an eject tool to use. As others have sad though, a paper clip should work. I've also read that a thumb tack should work too.

Haven't seen an eject tool in the box since the 4S. The 5 didn't come with one either.

This. There are quite a few things around the house, though, that function just the same as that little tool.

My 4S didn't come with an Eject tool. Neither did my 4.

I have never gotten one - didn't even know such a thing existed until this thread LoL.

I can confirrm that my Verizon iPhone 5s did not come with a SIM tool. I will look to see if I can find the box for my 4s and see if it is there. I will update if and when I find the box. And I salute you and every other member of our Armed Forces.

I just figured that was something that came with the territory of purchasing an international phone. Not a big deal though.

When I kept it on my key chain I would constantly get mini stabbed by it.

An earring or a paper clip would work just fine. Just make sure your aim is good and you don't scratch the phone!

I haven’t seen one in the iPhone package since the 3GS...

That's the last one I remember getting the 3GS

I vaguely remember the 3G/3GS having one but not 100% sure. Did the OG iphone come with one?

 

[Chris Parsons]

All my iPhones have come with one however, it's no big deal. A bent paperclip works just as good.

My AT&T iPhone 4 didn't have the SIM eject tool in the box, either. I ordered one from Amazon. All of the paper clips that I had were the large ones and they didn't fit into the hole. I also thought that using a paper clip was a bad work-around for a $750 phone.
