Hi I want a pay as you go sim to use on my iphone 4 which is locked to orange. Any ideas which companies will work? Orange don't seem to do them pay as you go?!

I don't know any Mobile Virtual Networks on Orange.
Either get the phone unlocked or cut a normal sim to a micro size. It's an easy DIY job and even cheap cutters are available on ebay.

However, double check that Orange don't do PAYG micro sims.

From 10 November 2009 we’ll be making the iPhone available to PAYG, PAYM, Business and Corporate customers.
All of our tariff and pricing plans are available on www.orange.co.uk/iPhone.

Topically, the link doesn't work.

would a t mobile one work in an orange handset I wonder, at the moment you get free internet which seems a good deal!

No, it won't unless you unlock the phone.

I have an Orange PAYG micro-SIM which I rarely use. It even comes with 250MB/month of free data every month, being intended for an iPhone. It's not a well-known offer but Orange do it if you get through to a knowledgeable person.

You can get them on AMazon
From the pic it looks like the seller cuts them themselves. Reviews are generally (but not exclusively) favourable.

No, because that requires a fixed monthly payment every month, whereas PAYG requires no such commitment.

This wouldn't come with the free 250MB/month of free data for a year that the official PAYG micro-SIMs come with.
