im getting an iphone soon
and was just reading up on them
i keep seeing this mircosim thing popup

but i wanna keep my old sim and number
will the regular ones work

or will i have to get a new sim

You have 2 choices, try and cut your current SIM to the right size or ask your network to swap it for a micro SIM.

so they dont work

Not unless you cut them down to micro sim size. This is risky though. O2 and 3 will send micro sims out if requested or you can pop in one of their stores. Not sure about the others

All networks that offer the iPhone 4 will send a microsim out if you request it, not sure if all will keep them in stock in high street stores.

really i thought the other poster was having a laugh

if you can cut them down why the heck did apple bother having micro sim

Micro sim means they have more space for extra parts in the phone, it might not seem like it's making a lot of extra room, but I'm sure they're using it well. Extra chip space for better processor for example.

And as it has been said, cutting it down yourself is risky, too much and it won't work. If you aren't desperate, best to get your network to swap over your sim. Same number and plan, just a new bit of plastic.

The official explanation is due to everything that was packed into the iPhone 4, there wasn't room for a regular sim slot

@kester, yeah I wasn't sure about the others. I'm sure I'd heard about orange and tesco being funny if you hadn't bought the phone from them though and some people having to cut

im not on bill just pay as you go

i getting the phone of a friend of a friend its factory unlocked

i hope dublin vodafone shops over here have them and will change the number over

wonder how much that will cost

most likely they fliping wont!! have any

Don't let them charge you! They should do it for free.

If vodafone (Ireland) sell the iPhone 4 normally you shouldn't have a problem getting a micro sim. If they don't you may have to risk a cutter. Google micro sim cutter and you should find some that do it automatically for you

they sell them but they have been out of stock since december i think
and the carphone ware house has been out of stock two

i bet theyll charge at least 20euros over here

Do they actually charge you in Ireland?!?

come on this is rip off ireland im talking about

anyways i shall ask and see in the morning on my way into town

Thought this might be of some use to you

and sim cutters are avalable from ebay from as little as £3.99 dont know how many times you would use it but could be a handy tool for future use.
