I'm still struggling with my sim card size of: "Single SIM (Mini-SIM) or Dual SIM (Mini-SIM, dual stand-by)"
Here are the specs of the phone in case I'm reading the sim card incorrectly:

I just wish I could find an answer...

I just came upon a SIM cutter device I'd bought about a decade ago when I bought a second-hand phone from Gazelle, and had to trip my SIM card to fit the "Micro-SIM" size. After nearly screwing the pooch, I got it to fit but it was wonky and finally I walked into a Verizon store where the agent happily gave me a properly fit Micro-SIM at no charge, since I wasn't planning to switch carriers.
Try reading this page for description of the myriad SIM sizes. Judging from the age of your phone model - discontinued in 2013, and the term Mini-SIM, your phone uses the old style "Standard" SIM card which telco carriers should be able to supply, although nearly everyone has moved their inventory to the ubiquitous "nano-SIM" which has the smallest border around the chip circuit contacts.
So my 2-cents is to not try cutting or trimming a SIM card to force a fit, just go to your carrier and tell them you need a proper SIM for your account, which you are going to maintain a subscription, and they will gladly send you a proper card that is programmed with your account information.
