To use the Samsung Galaxy A6 with the mobile Internet connection and the phone, a special Sim card must be inserted into the smartphone. Since there are currently three different Sim card sizes on the market (Standard Sim, Micro Sim, Nano Sim) the question is justified which Sim card size is needed for the Samsung Galaxy A6.

The Sim card format that fits into the Samsung Galaxy A6 is the Nano Sim card. So that you can use your Samsung Galaxy A 6 to the full extent immediately after the purchase, you should check therefore whether your current Smartphone already possesses a Nano Sim card or another, older Sim card format is available.

If you have a standard Sim card or a Micro Sim card, you now have the following options to get a Nano Sim card: Possibility

1. Perforation

If your Sim card is perforated, then you can simply press out the Nano Sim card Possibility

2. Sim card punch

With a Sim card punch you can easily create a Nano Sim card from a standard or Micro Sim card. Such a Sim card punch can be found for little money on Amazon.

3. Order a new Nano Sim card

If both options are not comfortable enough for you, you can of course also order a new Nano Sim card from your mobile phone provider for a contribution towards expenses of 10-25$.

Processing time is usually 3 working days. You now know which Sim card the Samsung Galaxy A6 requires and how best to get one for your smartphone.

If you have purchased an LG V30, you can use WiFi calling with Vodafone, T-Mobile and O2. The prerequisite for this is that you have chosen a contract that supports WiFi calling.

With WiFi calling you use your W-Lan network at home instead of the mobile connection. This usually improves the voice quality of telephone calls. Especially if the mobile network in the house is rather weak, WiFi calling makes sense.

To use Wi-Fi calls, you must first turn on Wi-Fi and connect to a wireless network. Then tap on any start screen on your LG V30:

• Apps --> Settings --> Networks --> Call

Tap the Wi-Fi call button to activate it on the LG V30.

Wi-Fi calling is now active and you can use this option. Now it makes sense to set the connection preference so that your telephone knows when you want to make calls via WLAN and when via the mobile network.

To set the connection preference for the LG V30 for Wi-Fi calls or over the mobile network, follow these steps: Navigate back to from the home screen to:

• Apps --> Settings --> Networks --> Call

Tap Wi-Fi Call --> Connection Settings. Select the desired connection preference here: Wi-Fi prefers mobile networks

You now know how to activate Wi-Fi calling on the LG V30 and thus use the W-Lan network for telephoning.

A weather widget is installed on the Samsung Galaxy S9 with which you can check the weather forecast of a predefined location on the home screen. For example, you can see the weather forecast for the next three to seven days, which is very useful in everyday life.
