    Hi,

    I have an old Kindle with a SIM card in it with worldwide usage with no limit, very handy, unfortunately the kindle has died but I've been able to get the SIM card out of it, it's a standard SIM card, is there anyway of making this into a nano card so I can use it in my S6 tablet???

    You can cut it down to size. Have a look here:

    Thanks folks, I forgot about the cutting option, I was thinking of cloning or something far more complex. Down to the local shop with me.

    I'm thinking it'll never work anyway, probably locked down to Amazon only but it's worth a try

    It doesnt have an internet connection.

    It has a connection to AWS. AWS then gets pages on your behalf. Without a kindle its worthless.

    The SIM card has to be for one of the local (Irish) networks, shouldn't the OP simply go to one of their shops and ask them to swap it for a nano SIM? They phone up their support centre and get the account moved to the new SIM. The shops sometimes try to charge for a replacement SIM but will typically back down if you kick up a fuss. Sometimes simply giving them a frown when they mention money is all that's required.

    Did you read the thread at all?
