If the sim card you have is to small you can buy a sim card adapter like this one, If you need to trim your SIM card to a micro-SIM size, here are your options:

1. Head to Amazon.com and search for a nano-SIM cutter, like this one. It works like a hole puncher. When it arrives, you'll simply place your SIM card in the tray and punch out a smaller size. As a bonus, you'll also receive two adapters, which will allow you to put the micro-SIM card back into a regular-size SIM slot later on.

2. Do it yourself. If you need to trim your standard or micro-SIM card immediately, print out this free template and follow the instructions on the page. It's crucial that you take your time with this project, because if you make a mistake, you'll have to purchase a new SIM card. For the best results, use a sharp pair of scissors and always cut less first and trim (or file) later, if need be.

To watch a video on how this is done click here 

3. Find out if any phone store in your neighborhood can cut it for you. some phone shops are able to trim it with a SIM cutter they have on hand. do not try asking your carrier's store they do not hold sim cutters.

Please note that there are always risks involved with home modifications and don’t cut up your SIM card unless you’re happy for it not to work (in this case you’ll need to get a replacement from the provider, or order a new SIM card). Proceed at your own risk.
To cut the sim card you need the following equipment

• Unlocked Phone
• Standard or Micro SIM card
• Pencil
• ruler 
• Small pair of straight scissors
• Nail file
