Anybody Sold their iphone 4 from Tesco's?

Took out a contract with Tesco's for an iphone 4, dont really need an iphone so was going to sell it on ebay and keep using my old phone.

The Problem: Tesco's wont send out a normal sizes sim card, they also claimed that they can tell if your no longer using the phone from their end and they'll start billing you for data charges - i had intended to keep using my old blackberry but dont want to be charged for emails and internet obviously, so has anyone actually sold an iphone from Tesco's and used a different phone instead?

    Who would sell their iphone 4, they are the beexzneez! are they not? ????
    But it sounds like Tesco rep is spinning you a line, by the way some blackberry data services require access to the blackberry portal I believe.

    A Blackberry won't be able to use any BB specific service with the BB addon (normal data bundles won't work). All networks change an extra £5 for this.

    They can tell what phone your using, everytime the phone connects the network logs the IMEI, from that they can tell which phone you're using.

    As said they can tell what phone and as such any data used on BB will be charged.
    As for the sim card you can buy a microsim to standard sim adaptor from any phone shop/Internet for a couple of pound
  • You are unlikely to get as much for the phone as you will pay out over the length of the contract.
    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.
