Introduction
If you need to change, remove, or insert a SIM card into your Google Pixel smartphone, you’ve come to the right place. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to do this easily.
Step-by-Step Guide to Insert/Remove SIM Card
Prepare Your Phone: Begin by grabbing your Google Pixel phone. If you have a case on your phone, remove it for easier access.
Locate the SIM Card Tray: Look for a small notch on the side of the phone that has a tiny hole next to it. This is where the SIM card tray is located.
Use the SIM Card Eject Tool: You will need a SIM card ejector tool. This tool usually comes with your phone or SIM card. If you do not have one, a paper clip can work as well.
Eject the SIM Card Tray: Insert the SIM card ejector tool into the hole next to the notch until you feel a click. This indicates that the tray has been released. Gently pull out the tray.
Remove or Replace SIM Card: Once the tray is out, you will see the SIM card. You can either remove it by flipping the tray around or by gently poking through the small holes if it’s stuck.
Insert New SIM Card: If you are installing a new SIM card, place it into the tray and ensure it is seated properly. The SIM card tray has specific orientation slots for the card.
Reinsert the SIM Card Tray: Once you’ve finished installing or removing your SIM card, carefully slide the tray back into the slot until it clicks into place.
Reattach the Case: If you removed a case, put it back on your phone.
And that’s it! Your SIM card is now installed, and you can begin using your Google Pixel smartphone.
