Can you cut a normal sim card into a micro?

I want to get an iphone on contract but it costs too much so i thought that maybe i could buy a cheap contract and get the card cut to fit the iphone. Will this work? Have you done it? I live in the uk if that helps with anything

Yes but…

the cutter to do the job (see ebay)
is about 3-5 pounds incl postage.
The cut it makes is very harsh - and can cause the Micro/mini SIM to get stuck in the SIM slot (!)

Amazon also

So much better to ask the network for a replacement one, which has shaped (Chamfered) edges, to prevent it getting stuck.

You can go to most networks (usually their website) and enter the new SIM card number to swap it over in seconds (they warn hours - but usually takes seconds), and if needed swap it back also.

Just ask the network help line to send a new one to you, for the correct size (usually free)

  • 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?

  • If I cut my sim into a micro sim will my iPhone 4S work fully? I currently have a Blackberry Bold 9900 which is in contract but am getting a iPhone 4S. But the sim in a blackberry is not the right sort for the iPhone 4S, so if I bought a 'micro sim cutter' and cut the sim from my blackberry and put it into a 4S, would the iPhone work fully like apps, siri etc and I get all my minutes, data and calls etc…
  • I want to cut my sim card into a micro card for iPhone 4? I'm currently on a £15 month contract on vodafone where I get unlimited texts, 300 minutes and 500MB of internet. Because my current phone isn't working I'm going to buy an unlocked iPhone 4, I don't want to pay £30+ a month so is it possible to cut my sim card into a micro sim? Will this work? And will I be able to still pay £15 a month?
