    More important is will the contract allow you to do that?

    I do remember reading people getting large bills when they bought unlocked iphones and used other network sims in them.

    Either running up large data charges or the network saying the contract they have is not suitable for the iphone.

    Check 1st.

    Yes it can ,I have done it with my 3 dongle sim card
    You just need to cut it down to the correct size , i bought a cutter of ebay for £3 does the job great . or if you have a Iphone sim just put it on your dongle sim and cut it that way
