Your correspondent has bought a used Nexus phone to replace an increasingly temperamental Samsung in the event of it deciding to retire itself.

Took it home and started to extract the SIM card from the Samsung. Took off back, slid out SD card, tried and failed to slide out SIM card. Asked Mr Google, who recommends using a pencil eraser to get enough grip to slide the card out. Worked perfectly.

Next step is to figure out where the card goes in the Nexus. Mr Google comes up trumps again. Use the tool supplied, except that it’s been lost. Use pin. Doesn’t work. Use paperclip, which does work.

Offer up SIM card to Nexus card tray, make discovery. There’s a type of SIM smaller than a micro. What’s smaller than micro? Nano. Can you get both a micro and a nano for the same phone number? No. You have to get a nano and an adaptor to use it in a micro phone, except that the adaptor may jam irretrievably.

Life is indeed wonderful.

Go to your carrier and ask for a nano SIM. I had to do that when I went from a LG G6 to my Pixel. Went to Verizon and they gave me a SIM for free.

Wasn’t The Nexus that thing that everybody wanted to get to in that Star Trek movie?

That’s not the problem though as the nano card won’t fit the micro phone without an adaptor. I had anticipated being able to use either phone as desired but life isn’t so simple.

I dated a girl who called her vagina Nexus.

Do you find yourself searching for it?

The newer cards are all 3-in-1, so you can plug the nano card back into the micro frame.

Oh, that sounds good if I can get one of those.

Nah, I’m all set with that one.
