    Only Satan would design a hole that is smaller than the end of a bent paperclip when the entire purpose of the hole is to put something into it.

      Grab a hammer, go outside to concrete or find a rock, and flatten your own paperclip.

      I’ve had to do that before in a pinch. My Sim card was saying it wasn’t installed even after a reboot, and I was about 3 hours from the closest store I could buy one from.

      Not perfect, but it got the job done.

      I think Satan gets tips from capitalism.

        I guess it’s called a SIM card eject pin tool, but you’ll usually find them in cell phone toolkits.

          some are thicker or thinner than others. some phones have a superthin hole. so some ejectors or a paperclip won’t work (for some phones).

          maybe the superthin variety is the most common variety out there. but i have a collection and they are nearly all thick.

      there must be an everyday item that functions as a makeshift alternative.
