iPhone 4 Free on Vodafone

Yeah but I already have an O2 Contract.

However I have just found this 

http://www.cutmysim.com/

Even comes with a holder so it will work in normal phones again

Yes...just ordered one but they are not shipping until the end of the month/early next month. 

If this works it will be money well spent.  If not then there may be some guy in China laughing while driving his new Ferrari!!!

im sure there will be plenty of micro sims available for us next week as we get closer to the release date

02 has announced this service for those who want to stay on there existing contract :

http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk/

seems pretty straight forward to me, and If I dont get a sim in time then will chop up the old one

Hmm...O2 seem pretty organised over this.  Not seen anything like this from Vodafone!!!  Disappointing.

[vRS Carl]

O2 aint that organised.

They haven't released prices yet

Looking at the guides to cutting up a sim i think i may just do that

i dont understand carl have you ordered one direct from apple or are you going to get one through 02?

as if the latter then you will get a micro-sim card when you upgrade, start a new contract  or buy payg from 02

the only way you can keep your existing contract is if you buy direct from apple and then you will have to ask 02 for a new sim card which you can register on that link i posted above.

Thats what i was getting at James

I am going to go to the Apple Store on the 24th and just buy the phone. I may even do it in the O2 store. I was just wondering how to go about getting a Micro-Sim. I know they are supplied when you upgrade however i want to keep my current contract as it is cheaper than the equivalent one on a new contract.

So i wanted to know if anyone knew how easy it was to transfer my number etc to a micro sim. I think i will just cut mine down though.

I cant see why your provider wont provide you with a new sim, your contract with them is for the phone service and not the phone - you can have any phone you like so they should provide you with the correct sim.

There was a guy (presenter) on the BBC website that did this for the iPad and it didn't work.  However i think his name may have been Cumberland Fingers!!

This guy managed it ok. i do have a couple of spare sims to practice on though

this link here which i posted earlier http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk/ gives you all the instructions you will ever need to transfer your number on to a new micro sim

But how do i get the Micro-Sim in the first place if i buy the phone from Apple was what i was originally asking

I bought my last IPhone from Apple and the sim was included.

You don't anymore though



Even with a 3GS you don't
