iPhone sim
Ive been given an iPhone 4 which requires a micro sim, my current phone has a normal size sim which costs me 10.50 a month on virgin with all the calls, text and data allowances I need so ideally I'd like to keep this sim if possible.
I have looked on the net and sim card cutters have cropped up, anyone used one, do they work?
If the cutters a no go I'll need a new sim only deal, any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Nik.

I've got a sim cutter, works a treat. However, you can cut them down to size using scissors if you're careful.

To the OP, I'd advise using a sim cutter, I tried cutting mine with scissors and it didn't work and my sim was useless after.
I went to a Vodafone store and they gave me a microsim for free for my existing number, don't know if virgin will do that.

You can call Virgin and ask. My wife got an iPhone and we just called Orange to swap the sim and they were fine.
Alternatively, just cut it down. I've done quite a few (for the iPad) and they all worked fine.

Haha wouldn't surprise me
Why don't they stop dicking about and leave em all same size , means you need two different phones, and two different sims
Nokia are doing it as well

Are you serious? You do know that the full size sim card was a credit card? Maybe you still have a phone that uses those cards or are you brainwashed too?

Man you must be really tiny if you think a sim card is the same size as a credit card!! No wonder the chip on your shoulder is so big and your brain was so easy to wash

I already am clever I don't need to do any research. But congratulations you found a schematic for a credit card that compares sizes to other ISO standard cards, well done. But you seem to be missing the key point here.
ID-1 54x85.6mm ISO 7810 CREDIT CARD.
ID-000 15x25mm GSM SIM CARD.

Erm... He's only pointing out how sim cards have got smaller over the years or am I missing something?
I remember putting in a sim card the size of a credit card. Hell! I remember the days when I had an analogue mobile phone! They didn't have sim cards and you could pick up calls beingnmade on a phone by a scanner back then! lol
