Getting a replacement micro sim isn't a problem. However, using a smartphone on PAYG with a mainstream provider is not a good idea unless you make monthly £10+ topups. If you do, make sure that you are on a tariff that gives you a decent monthly data allowance like, say, "Text&Web Freebie".
Otherwise just get Ovivo sim for one-off £15 that gives 100m+100t+400Mb for free every month without any topups. They use the same network and you can easily port your number to them.0 -
I agree with grumbler that Ovivo would be a good option.
Aside from it being a very good deal they offer micro and nano sim options when signing up. Additional costs, such as voicemail retrieval, mms messaging etc are also very reasonable.

Why pay more for an S3 when the Nexus 4 is just as good (some would say better)

I own S3 for the past 2 months and i`m totally in love with it! It`s the best phone ever, i wouldn`t change it ! I bought it from xphones4all and it works perfectly, i haven`t had any problems since i`ve bought it.0
