MTN was the first to come with a pre-cut sim, it gives a variety to choose between the whole or a micro. They also need to include the nano now cos phones, nowadays are coming with different sim ports. One thing though, i like the fact that one phone, Tecno phantom 6, comes with the option whereeby you can use a nano or micro sim

wait, I used to think Mini and micro are same o!! Thanks for the image. But networks sef have to stop this cut cut thing. They should have it precut instead. I also like the fact that OEMs are also giving choice to choose from in sim port. Tecno phantom 6 truly has that.

One funny thought just crossed my mind on seeing that ATM card look-alike SIM card,

Abeg, which phone contains a big thing like that?

Thank God I was born in a new age! cheesy
