4u25out, i just got the phone and haven't got the SIM card yet. But have you not yet know how to insert the SIM from the Video. It just below the battery compartment. Take the battery out, and then slide the Micro SIM card in. Hope this help. Let me know if you need any more help of how to insert the SIM card.

ClevionWin - Thanks for the nice comment. Faheem should have look at the description as there is a link to a new video that shows a SIM card inserted into the device.

Yes it is original. Most Samsung phone are now made in Vietnam. They've built a large factory over there because of cheap labor. I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4 from a large reputable network carrier, and still it is made in Vietnam.

You're welcome Brenda, congratulation on your new phone. You've made a good choice, SGS 3 is a great phone.

[Itjungles]

Even if it is made in Vietnam it is still made by Samsung and they QA the device to meet their standard. I am not sure what you mean by "original". Do you mean you want a Samsung phone that is made in Korea?

For example Sony products are also made in China, but it still original.

I understand that. how can I check the cpu on s3? because I heard that a copy of S3 has a dual-core CPU, and the original has a quad-core. Or is there some other difference that could distinguish copies from originals?

[Itjungles]

I think the phone prefer not to use toothpaste for cleaning. Do you use Colgate tooth paste?

I wanted to see how to actually position the sim card. I have no clue which way to put it in without breaking it

Video is titled "Samsung Galaxy S3: How to Insert New SIM Card" but you don't even insert a SIM, what a joke!!
Anyone know if there is more than one size for Sim cards?

[Itjungles]

Marko - Samsung release different version of the S3 to different regions in the world. In Korea they have Quad Core. Ok to get CPU information of your phone, you could install this app from the Android Play market, it's called Android System Info. Once you have installed the app, go into the System tab, from there you will be able to tell have many CPU your phone is running on.

I thought it would be enough for people to know. Please see this video: "Insert Micro SIM Card into Samsung Galaxy S3".

[Itjungles]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I only had to ever open the back cover a few times, so yes I am a little bit inexperience at that.

[Itjungles]

You should see it say how many CPU is running. eg. Processor 0
Processor 1.

If it shows up to Processor 3, that mean your phone is running quadcore. if it shows up to Processor 1 then it is running dual core.

Battery Usage is really depending on how you use your device, what settings you have applied to your phone, and what apps is currently running on the background. When they said 22 hours, I believe it is general in nature, and cannot apply to everyone. For example, if your phone have WI-FI on, and some apps are running on the backup periodically posting to the server, then it will uses more battery power. If you are concerning with battery power you should try apps like JuiceDefender.

Can I add a regular micro sim card in the phone ?

[Itjungles]

Not wanting to live has nothing to do SIM Card insertion. However if you associate "not wanting to live on this planet" with "life is not worth living", I can see the correlation.

If you leave a comment like "I still don't know how to insert a SIM card after watch this video", maybe it is more productive. Thanks for your input anyway.

Do u need both sim cards put in the phone 4 it to work?

[addyyy]

if I take out the sim on a gs3 and change it on a iPhone 4s will it erase any data?

[carmelking]

Is there a certain # on the sim card that starts with TF?
