Introduction
Use this guide to remove or replace the SIM card in your Samsung Galaxy S4.
What you need
-
-
Pry with a plastic opening tool, or your fingernail, in the divot to the left of the rear-facing camera, near the power button.
-
-
-
Lift the rear case by the corner nearest the divot and remove it from the phone.
I purchased a blue plastic opening tool(AKA: Spudge) like the one used in the above Step 1 rear cover pic and found the divot and was able to take off the rear cover as per the “Step 2 “ instructions.

-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger, or your fingernail, to press the microSD card slightly deeper into its slot until you hear a click.
-
After the click, release the card and it will pop out of its slot.
-
Remove the microSD card.
I was able to remove the MicroSD Card as per the Step 3 MicroSD instructions with no problems.
-
-
-
Insert a plastic opening tool, or your finger, into the notch of the battery compartment and lift the battery upward.
-
Remove the battery from your phone.

-
Remove the SIM card.
Looks easy but doesn't work. No one has a plastic opening tool. Using fingernail, you can press SIM card into slot but it does not pop out so you can remove it.
I agree with the comment above
I also don't have a plastic tool and my finger nail won't pop the card out.
