Note: SIM cards come in different sizes, with perforated edges that allow you to easily break off the size you need, whether it's standard, micro, or nano. Just pop out the appropriate size for your device!

  1. Turn off your phone.
    For kosher phones
  2. Find the SIM slot.
    • The SIM slot is located in a different place in each phone model.
    • It is usually under the battery.
    • If there is a sim card already there, carefully remove it.
  3. Insert your Israeli SIM card into the slot with the gold connectors facing down. (The SIM card is sliced on one corner to help you place it correctly.)
    • Inserting a SIM card that’s smaller than your phone’s slot can break your phone, so make sure you’re using a SIM card in the correct size!
    • Start with the bigger size first.
    • Never force the sim card into the slot, it could do serious damage to your phone.
      For smartphones
  4. Find the SIM card tray.
    • The SIM tray is located in a different place in each phone model.
    • It looks like an oblong with a hole in it, somewhere along the side/rim of your phone.
  5. Gently insert your SIM tray eject tool into the hole until the tray pops out (you can also use an unbent paper clip – we won’t tell :).
    • If there’s already a SIM card in the slot, carefully remove it.
    • Insert your Cellular Israel SIM card in the tray with the gold connectors facing down. (The SIM card is sliced on one corner to help you place it correctly.)
    • Inserting a SIM card that’s smaller than your phone’s slot can break your phone, so make sure you’re using a SIM card in the correct size!
    • Start with the bigger size first.
  6. Gently reinsert the SIM tray.
    • Never force the tray back in place, it could do serious damage to your phone.
