Because I didn't had a MicroSIM card at the time the jolla phone arrived. I search a bit and found this guide to convert your normal SIM card into a MicroSIM card:

I hope that's helpful for everyone that didn't know that this could be done.
Edit: Do this only transitionally in the time when you wait for a real MicroSIM card.

This may work, but be careful not to cut to much, or the Jolla won't recognize the MicroSIM. There is a small mechanical switch in the SIM-Slot, and I had problems with a converted MicroSIM because it first would not trigger that switch. Buying a new MicroSIM has the advantage that you get newer technology (I had to replace a SIM-card in the past because it was to old and MMS was not working).
Yeah, I did it only after I ordered a MicroSIM card and made sure that I was allowed to destory the old SIM myself.

If your provider offers good customer service, they will cut your card for you or copy the SIM card to a nano SIM. If not, well, time to think about changeing then?

Amazon'll sell you a clipper device for just a few dollars to do exactly the same thing more reliably and safely.
