Knowing how to insert or remove a SIM card for your Galaxy Note9 is one of the basic things that you must know. Whether you are setting the phone up for the first time or troubleshooting, this knowledge is important. Keep in mind that your Galaxy Note9 only uses a nano SIM card type. If you are recycling a SIM card from an old phone, it may not fit in the SIM card slot. In that case, you want to talk to your network provider first so you can get a new card or convert the one you have to a nano type.
