nano SIM card
HTC One mini 2 uses a nano SIM card. The nano SIM card contains your phone
number, service details, and memory for storing phonebook contacts and/or text
messages.
Inserting the nano SIM card
Use a standard nano SIM card only. Inserting a modified card may cause the card to
not fit properly or damage the card slot.
1. Hold the phone face up.
2. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the tray eject
hole next to the nano SIM card tray slot.
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the nano SIM card tray ejects.
4. Pull the nano SIM card tray out, and place the nano SIM card (contacts facing
down) into the tray.
5. Insert the nano SIM card tray back into the slot.
