Can any shops cut my sim card into a Microsim?

I'm getting an iPhone on Saturday, but my current sim card is regular size, so I was wondering, are there any shops (Preferably in London) that can cut my sim card into a Microsim? (I heard Carphone Warehouse do, but wasn't to sure… )

Thanks in advance!

Added (1). I'm not too good at cutting the sims myself… I have tried, without success…

I know a few people who had cut their own sim!

Yes, it may risk of broken the SIM Card. But why not buy a micro SIM directly?

Just get a new SIM.
for a new iPhone the shop should at least 'give' you one

or alternatively get a 'free' PAYG one
power it up and get a phone No for it
then ring up the network/talk to the shop and they can move your old Number/contract to it

(and once you explain that, they will give you a free uSIM anyway!)

Or see the t-mobile FREE PAYG iPhone SIM, free internet for a year
(text from your iPhone to enable the offer)

you can get a special cutter from ebay for 2 pounds (P&P free)
or any market stall should do it for less than that.
or you can get a ebay cutter and start your own service.

  • Will T-Mobile give me a microsim card? I currently have a cheap phone that has no data plan on it and uses standard sim card. I ordered a smartphone which uses a microsim card like the one in the iphone 4/4s. Will Tmobile give me a new microsim card without me having to add a data plan to my contract. It doesn't matter to me if i have to pay a little bit for the sim i just do not want to buy a data plan. My current data free plan is perfect
  • Will a blackberry sim card work in an iPhone 4 if we cut the sim? My friend has a blackberry and wants to buy an iPhone 4 off someone he knows. I have a micro sim cutter that I used when I went from iPhone 3G to iPhone 4. If we cut down his sim it will fit in the iPhone, but will he still be able to use Internet and call people? Also, would his network provider be able to send him a new iPhone sim but with the same tariff? Cheers
  • What would happen if I put a T-Mobile microSIM into a locked AT&T iPhone 4s? I have an iPhone 4s locked on contract with AT&T. But I want to find out how T-Mobile's reception might be on HSPA+.So… If I buy a T-Mobile microSIM and put it into the iPhone, what would happen? Would it show me the bars and 4G for T-Mobile?
  • My sim card won't work in my iPhone? I cut it to micro sim? I've just cut my sim card into a micro sim, Placed it into my iPhone 4s and it states there no sim card in there, They phone was recently unlocked by Telstra and i know it's unlocked because i got a conformation message on iTunes. I would have thought i cut it too small though that same sim card works in my Samsung Galaxy s2 Perfectly? What's the problem and why isn't it working with my iPhone?
