    There are sim cutters on Ebay, just chop down the sim you have now...

    You can cut the card to size. You can get the kit from eBay.

    Virgin is only a virtual (not a real) network operator, and they don;t offer good value data for iPone users, so why you want to go with them is anyones guess. As others have suggested, trim your SIM or get a cutter to do the job.

    The OP is already in a virgin contract and wants to use the contract in a new phone.
