I have a SGS3 I747M Rogers and I broke my Sim card slot. It all happend when I got an iPhone. I got an iPhone 5. I had my micro Sim it had a thing around it that turns it into a micro Sim card it came with the Sim card, and I took it off because the ip5 need nano Sim. I lost the thing that turns nano into micro. I realized that the iPhone data was not turning to LTE. So they data wasn't working. So I needed to put that Sim in my s3. I tried to put it in without the Sim thing, and I broke the slot. So I'm getting a new Sim part, do I need to solder? (I don't know how to) I don't think I do, because its PnP, but just to make sure.

Yeh, I think you definitely need to solder a surface mounted component, to replace a SIM holder. In the factory it was probably done with an automated hot-air or wave solder machine. Have a look at ifixit.com
That's not soldered, a complete module, it's just fastened with screws and a press-on connector. Be careful with the pigtail and connector though, it is rather fragile. And when you do disassemble it, do make a note of where the various sized screws go. I don't think anything you need to do is glued with an S3, so should be OK there.
Good luck with the repair!

just said "Searching..." And it showed that and it didnt show anything else. so i will get a test sim card first (distribu-sim) so i can see if that sim works, and then i will get a brand new sim
