Sim card problem with new Galaxy S3...

[raytaylormd]

I upgraded my Galaxy S2 via Amazon to a new Galaxy S3...however, the sim card from the S2 is too big for the S3...does that sound correct?...googling suggests the S3 takes a "nano-sim" versus a "micro-sim"...will ATT automaticaly send me the appropriate sim or do I need to contact someone?

Yes, that is correct - the S III takes a smaller SIM than the S II does. Since you did not order your new phone via AT&T, they are not  aware that you had upgraded, and therefore will not automatically send you a smaller SIM. You should contact them and request a nano-SIM which they may or may not charge you for; it depends sometimes. 

Your other option is to trim down your current SIM yourself to fit the slot of the S III. They sell microSIM cutters on eBay, so I would assume that they also sell nano-SIM cutters as well.

It will be faster to either cut it to the correct dimensions or head over to an ATT store so they can provide you the correct one and activate it for you. If it's a corporate store, they will not charge you.
