Mobilink has announced Nano-SIM for iPhone 5 users in Pakistan. As we know that Apple introduced Nano-SIM technology in its newly launched iPhone 5. The Nano SIM is 12.3mm wide by 8.8mm high, and 0.67mm thick and 40 percent smaller than the current micro-SIM format. Standard SIMs cannot be used with the iPhone 5 and Mobilink has taken urgent steps to ensure customers can continue to use their preferred mobile phone devices on its network. The Nano SIM is no way different (apart from the size) than the existing SIM cards and it offers the same functionality. Mobilink customers will have to get the Nano-SIMs directly from their customer care centers across the country.


 

For now this SIM standard has only been adopted by Apple in the new iPhone 5 but soon other mobile phone manufacturers are expected to follow the trend because traditional SIM cards take up a significant amount of space inside the handsets. This space is more and more valuable in today's mobile phone devices which deliver an ever increasing number of features.
