a tech illiterate old friend of mine in his 60s got tasked with changing his simcard for new one. But the network just didn't appear. Long story short after 3 hrs of headbashing I asked him to send me the photo of simcard itself

that was a valuable afternoon for my humility

nano-simcard rotated 90 degrees forcefully inserted into standard size simcard frame which is missing micro size simcard frame

Isn't the "standard" sim card in you pic actually mini-sim? While the standard one is credit card-sized? I think I have a phone somewhere that takes a credit card sized sim actually.

To be fair, most people here probably have a mini SIM as their first SIM card.
