What is a Nano SIM Card?
The USIM card holds your subscriber information and allows your device to connect to your mobile network. If you're setting up a new Galaxy Z Fold or Flip device, or replacing your SIM card, it's important to insert it properly to avoid damaging the SIM tray. Please follow the steps below to safely insert a USIM card into your Galaxy Fold7 and Z Flip7.
Note:
- Be careful not to insert the SIM card upside down.
- Forcing the tray into the device when the SIM card is not firmly seated may cause the tray to bend or break.
