Just wondering as I would quite like one of these phones as a back up, is the price cheaper in store as the price on the site is £120 or something like that

Well in Tesco's the 8GB is £99, but I got it for £89.50 due to staff discount. So it mitigates the unlock and sim fees a bit.
I did get the last one in my local store though so I assume they don't have a lot of them.
I needed a nano sim as I was getting new iPhone. Some said £5.11 but that charge is only for lost or stolen sims.
You are doing an "upgrade" with your sim so it's free.
^This all the way.
I've needed some replacement micro sims before, and each time it's been a case of either:
1) ringing CS who freely offer to send one out for £0, or
2) going into a Three store and getting one for £0 (or having the existing sim cut down to size, again for £0)
In fact it was CS who, when they said they'd send me one out free of charge, suggested that if I didn't want to wait for the post that I could pop in store and get one for free in there instead.
That being said, the first time I did it customer service did warn me to call ahead as the store might charge, but if they did then if I let CS know I'd get a £5 credit on my account. Probably just as well I did really as one store claimed outright CS were lying and that there was always a charge for replacement sims, while the other store agreed it was free.

My son (and his current phone) is in Uni, miles away from where I live, and as I've explained earlier he's a teenager... it would never get done.
Well I've never been charged for a Sim by Vodafone.
Me neither , that's why I was so shocked by Three's charges.
