Tray sim stuck in the iPhone

Tray sim stuck in the iPhone

I got an old iPhone 6 Plus from my friend. Then, I tried to use another sim card to put into the iPhone 6 plus, which is originally from iPhone 6s. After everything is done. I tried to put back the sim tray to iPhone 6 plus. However, I accidentally put iPhone 6s's sim tray into iPhone 6 Plus. Then I tried to take it out by pushing into the whole. Normally, it would pop out, but I believe the iPhone 6s's sim tray is shorter than iPhone 6 Plus.

"Hello,

I have been able to pry out the sim tray using a modified paper clip. Bend out the open end, use hammer to flatten about 0.5 - 1 cm, then use pliers to bend 2-3 mm 90 degree. Use cutting pliers to leave only about 1 mm. Carefully insert this end into the hole just a bit to pull out the sim tray. Do not insert fully into the hole since the goal is to catch and wedge out the outer part of the tray. If you insert the paper clip too deep, the bent part will be inside the casing and thus you will end up trying to pull out the casing and not the tray itself. Do this gently so the tray slide out nicely.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I want to insert picture but I don't know how. Feel free to PM me if you need photo of the modified paper clip."

I did this too, I was able to use a thumb tack to pry it out very easily with no damage done to the SIM card
