The longer the SIM card is exposed to water, the more likely it is to be damaged. Short exposure is unlikely to cause damage to a SIM card.I'm not a phone technician but I was told that short exposure to water will likely not ruin a SIM card. The longer it stayed in the water the better chance it was ruined. You can take it to a phone store and they can test it to see if it is damaged. What ruins a phone when it gets wet is the fact that a battery operates it and water will fry the electronics. Nothing powers a SIM card.

I did not test it but would doubt it could as water is such a challenge...my guess is if the phone was dropped and quickly retrieved it would be ok.

No, unfortunately sim card cannot be refilled. You will need a new sim card.

Hello! If the phone doesnt work properly just send it back where you purchase..and email the store where it from the cellphone that you want a different one or replacement.

I believe the package states that it is for one time use, but I would reuse it. The phone we used it on was not soaked, but in a bag that was in the rain. The phone is working properly now.

I am using it in one now. As long as you don't put it in the phone empyt it will not damage the phone. It will mess up the phone if you put it in the phone without a sim card in it.

I did not keep this unit because the outlets did not line up with the phone. but The face of the phone is open so it would not be water resistant, i wouldn't think.

Look on the back of the cardboard backing of the packaging. Also there are tons of YouTube videos demonstrating how to trim Sim cards with similar cutters. I recommend checking those out.I had no issues with it ruining my Sim card.

Yes, no problem at all. You simply take it to your nearest att store and they will put in a new chip connected to your old phone. Phone is in fantastic shape.

I guess? I've taken a shower with mine and there's no harm to the phone. I just wouldn't stay to long underwater.

Hi Ji Li, ist the original dont worry. I tested it and i spoke with the Originalspa which is selling them. You can also check if its original by its chargenumber on their website. The original also is easiely recognized by being waterproof and having a light electromagnetic response on your phone. turn on your phone and try switching the sites with the "balls".

Never use water with this device. I didn't let a home cleaner know and they accidentally washed it in water making it swollen and unusable.

Mine worked fine. I did the water test before I went to the beach. I did not take my phone under water but got splashed by a wave and it was fine
