If you need to insert or remove a SIM or USIM card in your Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge smartphone, this tutorial is for you.
Removing SIM Card
- Locate the SIM Card tray. It is located below the Power button on the side of the standard S6 model. On Edge models, it is located on the top of the device.
- Use the eject tool included with your Galaxy S6 or a paper clip to gently push the small button on the SIM Card tray.
- The tray will eject and allow you to remove the SIM Card.
Inserting SIM Card
- Place the SIM Card in the SIM Card tray.
- Insert the tray into the SIM Card slot until it snaps securely in place.

November 20, 2018 at 2:00 pmWhich way does the sim card go in once I get the tray out? Card is too big (?) and once I get card in tray won’t go back in.

August 23, 2018 at 2:01 pmYes great help, thanks. **Note to all S6 users: You may have to press firmly down with the Unlock Tool or paperclip. It takes quite a bit of pressure.

March 12, 2017 at 4:52 pmI replaced my SIM card and now I can’t make phone calls. And it’s not allowing me to send messages so you may not even get this! It comes up saying I can only make emergency calls now since this new SIM card is in. I put the old SIM card in again and it’s doing the same crap

July 13, 2016 at 9:48 amReally poor design. Sim card didn’t snap into tray, so I assumed it was a place holder … Now the card is stuck in the slot and I have no phone to use. This is insane. Never had trouble with Samsung before.

August 18, 2015 at 3:08 amSurprise ..the sim tray in Samsung galaxy-6 can be inserted reverse and easily damaged. It is foolish design. The designer should make it impossible to insert the tray reverse if it is pushed reverse.

May 5, 2015 at 12:00 pmNo SIM card tool included, and I do not use or carry a paper clip. New out of the box Galaxy s6 Edge 128 GB. $1000 phone and I can’t make a telephone call on it. Lovely.
