    I've been using the Blackberry Bold with an AT&T SIM card for a long time. I thought my SIM card would fit into an unlocked Passport phone, but I guess I was wrong. Do I really need a smaller SIM card for the Passport?

    Yes, you need a nano Sim. Don't cut your card, cut cards could damage the Sim pins. Go to your carrier and pay $10 or try to get one free. Good luck.

    Just as Gus� said, go to an ATT owned store (best option), there you can get one free and information transferred immediately. Still you can call customer support for more information. All the best, mate!

    I had to get 2 new AT&T SIM cards this week -- a nano for a new Passport SE (the micro from my Z30 wouldn't fit) and a new full-size card for a Bold I'm resurrecting. They handed over both, for free, without batting an eye.

    Passport SE: All the snooty prestige of a device with a precious metal in the name at less than half the price!

    Yes! I have a Bold and I want to try the Passport. So, they immediately gave you a Bold SIM and a nano-SIM for free? Do they also have an adapter for both sizes?

    Don't use an adapter, you are asking for trouble. There are many threads of the Sim pins breaking. I almost broke the pins on my bold 9900 with an adapter. I haven't used an adapter since. You can change the Sim information online with your carrier. I recommend you use the appropriate card for each device.

    DON'T chance it, mate. Go to a store and have them help you (they will absorb any damage). However, get the right Sim for your device free or less than $10. I tried using an adapter for TMobile Sim, after days of connection issues, I went to a store.
    Good luck!

    As others have said go to th store and they will provide you with a nano sim. I did this and they didn't charge me anything. Even activated it for me and called customer service for me. When i walked out everything was working.

    I walked into the AT&T store with only my Blackberry Bold in hand. I asked for a Nano SIM card. She wouldn't give me a Nano card unless I had the Passport phone with me. She also said I would be required to upgrade my phone plan once I bring in my "smartphone". (I guess she didn't consider my Blackberry Bold to be a smartphone.)

    Anyways, I ran home and got my unlocked (non-AT&T) Passport. I brought it back to the AT&T store. A guy helped me this time. I asked him for a Nano SIM card and he got it for me no problem. Free of charge. What I find unusual is that he didn't say anything about phone plans. He didn't even ask if I wanted the 1 GB data plan or anything at all. I'll do research into this later. For now I just wanna play with my phone!

    The guy was cool. I asked if they sold microSD cards. He told me NOT to buy it from his store because they were over $50. He sure ain't helping the AT&T business, but I appreciate his honesty, haha!

    Did the lady look over your account before she made that comment? Also, why would you go in, knowing you were going in to get a sim for the Passport and not bring the Passport?

    In the end it worked out for, but that made no sense to me.

    They have my account information. I figured they could have just gave me a nano SIM card right away. Also, the AT&T store is across my street, so it was not a long commute at all. 8)
