I am midway through a 24 month contract and wish to buy a sim-free iphone. Thing is the iphone uses a micro-sim. Can I just waltz into an Orange shop and ask for a new micro-sim?

's exactly what we did with O2. Didn't charge us for it either.

Finally got through to Orange CS on the phone, they want an extra £10 out of me per month just because it's going in an iPhone! Think I may just trim my existing card to fit!

I trimmed down a GiffGaff one and it works perfectly in my iPhone 4. Google for some examples. They really should start printing a cutting guide on the SIM.

Cool, I have heard some people saying you get reduced battery life with the chopped cards - something to do with voltage...

Everything ok with you, spindl, with your GiffGaff card?

I cut up a Vodafone Greece sim to go in a iPhone 4 and it works fine. Word of caution, we did buy a sim cutter, but for some reason the sim card had an off centre chip and had we punched it then it would have knackered the sim.

Probably just a Greek thing tho.

Another thing, make sure you have unlimited data so you don't get spanked on data charges.

Everything working perfectly. Not noticed any drop in battery life.
