Toothpick stuck in sim card hole

If your SIM card slot is stuck, you can try a few things to free it up. First, make sure that there is no debris or dust in the slot that could be blocking the SIM card from seating properly. If there is debris, you can use a can of compressed air to blow it out.

If the slot is still stuck, you can try using a straightened paperclip to gently push the SIM card out. If neither of these methods work, you may need to take the phone to a service center to have them open up the phone and release the SIM card slot.

Why can’t I take the SIM card out of my iPhone?

Why is my SIM tray not opening?

One reason could be that the little metal tab that you use to open the tray is not lined up properly with the hole in the tray. Another reason could be that something is blocking the tray from opening, such as dirt or lint.

A paperclip!
