A while ago, I removed the sim card form my Iphone. Today I decided to reset it. When I did, it said I must put a sim card in the device. But when I did, it didnt show up. So, I tried to eject it. I can get the tray to pp put, but not all the way out. I do not want to take the back off my phone.
I could not manage to force it out, and do not have the tools to open the back.
Is this a good question?

What are you using? You can push in the with the SIM tool, a needle, a paper clip.
If it is staying stuck, you can grab it with tweezers or fine pliers and pull it out. But beware that may be the SIM ejector is broken or the SIM is jacked up and stuck, and not letting the SIM tray slide out. In which case it is better to lift the screen and work it from inside.
Here's a guide that shows how to access the SIM reader from the inside.

I have found the following to work. Cut 2 strips of thin plastic, about half the thickness of a credit card, 1/8th inch wide and 2 inches long. With screen face down and the sim carrier partially jammed open about an 1/8th inch push the first strip of plastic in as far as it will go and then move it to one side. Do the same with the other strip but move it to the other side. This should allow you pull out the sim carrier while preventing the sim jacked sim catching.
