SIM card tray is stuck
I have a Motorola Edge, I’m trying to change the SIM card, but I can’t get the SIM card tray to eject. I’ve tried using different SIM card tools, and paperclips, only to have them bend, and just had the tip of the paperclip break off into the hole. I’ve taken it to the mobile carrier, as well as a local tech repair place, but no success at either place. The tech repair place isn’t authorized for Motorola phones, and basically said it needs to be taken apart to remove the SIM card tray.
I’d appreciate any advice and guides that might help.

Sadly no. I had to buy a new phone. My Motorola edge is useless if not connected to WiFi. If you happen to find a solution please share.

I also had this problem - SIM tray stuck closed in my Motorola Edge 2020. After struggling with it myself, a repair place opened the phone, and had to remove the board inside to access the tray mechanism. In the process, a little piece of it which holds the pins that connect to the SIM card broke off - which the repairman and I both believe was the original problem - the pins got bent at some point when the SIM tray was pushed in, and this held the tray stuck in. I wasn't there when the piece broke off, but I believe the guy who showed me the piece and explained what happened. After that happened, of course, the SIM card no longer registered in the phone, and it became just a handheld WiFi computer - I have to replace the phone now. I'm wondering if this is a consequence of poor design; surely pushing that tray in shouldn't have bent those contacts since I don't think I did it roughly.
I'm thinking about getting the same phone, but worry that I'll have the same problem again.

I have a new Motorola edge 50 fusion. I can't remove the sim card tray. The pin won't go all the way in for some reason. Any help would be much appreciated. Getting very frustrated now!!!

The last time I had this problem, I took it to a repair shop and they had the tray removed in a few minutes and nothing was broken or damaged. They took the phone into their back room to work on it, so I didn't see what they did, but they obviously didn't take the phone apart. They probably had a pin that gave them better leverage than anything I had, or they wiggled it just the right way. The first time this happened to me, a different repair shop had to take the phone apart to fix it. There was no damage that time either. But I think that was when also I had the screen replaced.
Somebody in here (In where it says +4 Comments) said the SIM card slot pins on their phone broke off which caused the tray to get stuck. Hopefully that didn't happen to you. I guess all you can do is try the suggestions mentioned in here or take it to a repair shop. Good luck.
