Safaricom MicroSim (3FF sim) card for Ipads and Iphones
Sim cards have become an integral part of our daily lives, providing us with connectivity and communication. However, obtaining a network sim card and owning a mobile phone used to be a costly affair in the past. The majority of sim cards used today are based on GSM technology. In recent years, MicroSim cards have been introduced, specifically designed for data usage on GSM devices. As the name suggests, MicroSim cards are smaller in size, approximately half the size of regular GSM sim cards.
Exciting news comes from Apple as they announce the launch of the iPad, which operates on both WiFi and 3G GSM networks, requiring the use of MicroSim cards. Although MicroSim cards have not gained widespread popularity since their invention in 2003, it is expected that the iPad's adoption of this technology will significantly increase their usage. Safaricom, Kenya's leading telecommunications provider, has now introduced MicroSim cards at their retail stores exclusively for Kenyan iPad users. The MicroSim card, also known as a 3FF sim card, measures 12mm x 15mm, making it smaller than the regular sim cards that measure 15mm x 25mm.
Safaricom, being the country's largest telecommunications operator, now offers MicroSim cards for sale at their stores nationwide, catering to users of iPads and other devices compatible with MicroSim cards.
To obtain a Safaricom MicroSim card for iPads and iPhones, follow these simple steps:Visit any Safaricom retail shop across the country and request a MicroSim card.
Prepaid customers can call Safaricom customer care at @100 and request a MicroSim card.
Postpaid customers can call Safaricom customer care at @200 and request a MicroSim card.
Once you have acquired a Safaricom MicroSim card, you can enjoy faster 3G internet connectivity on your device. Additionally, it is worth noting that you can carefully cut a regular Safaricom Sim card to the size of a MicroSim card and use it in your iPad or iPhone; however, this procedure requires precision and caution.
Safaricom strives to meet the evolving needs of its customers by offering cutting-edge technology and convenient solutions such as MicroSim cards, enabling seamless connectivity and enhanced mobile experiences.

Hmmm, Micro Sims. I developed an interest in them while checking out Smart phone specs and could not help but wonder what they were and how they worked. I now get the picture, but still what puzzles me is if I cut my regular SIM card and then later switch maybe to another device that uses the reegular SIM, what shal I do since yes, I can cut it but I cannot reverse the action. Simply, can you use a micro SIM in any way on a regular SIM card slotted device since you will always be stuck on that particular device?
ReplyDeleteHi, all you will need is a "Micro SIM" adaptor.

i really needed this information coz im visiting kenya soon and i was worried where to get one.Thanks for the information
ReplyDeleteThese adaptors tend not to work very well.
ReplyDeleteA better solution, is to find one of those independent cell-phone shops (you know, the type that unlock phones and the like!) and ask if they have a microSIM card cutter.
If they do, the charge to cut it is small and they return the original SIM.
You will find, if you are careful, that you can put your new microSIM into the old SIM card and it will usually hold it tight enough to put into a phone or modem.
This solution tends to be more effective.
Asante..im now happy to carry my iphone back home with me
ReplyDeletePersonally i have been used a micro sim card on both platforms without a micro simcard adapter. You just need to place it carefully on the simcard slot
