T-mobile Micro Sim

zaly

I've just purchased my first ever iphone so need get a micro sim for it. Trying to avoid paying the £10 charge. Tmobile really arent keen on waiving it, been with them for ages and ages but I'll probably change network at the end of my contract in a couple of months so dont want to fork out for the tmobile sim really.

Anyone had any experience of cutting the sim to size? Bit nervous about trying it. Or anyone actually managed the miracle of getting it out of tmobile for free?? I'm sure they used to be more generous.

I know its only only a tenner but every penny counts in my book!

I had my sim card cut down, cost me £1 and the guy done a neat job, can still use the remains as a sim adaptor

Thats looks great, much better job than I could myself! Where abouts did you get it done?

At one of those independant phone stores, in fairness the 1st one I went to , although he had a jig, he said he may ruin the card and recommended another store a short walk away, who cut the card for £1.

This looks like a good option - I'll have a walk round some of the independent shops in town and see what I can find - thanks for the tip!

Which town are you in?

You could get a few free sims and have a practice with them before you try it on the sim you need to cut down.

Theres also quite a few video's on youtube showing how easy it is

I got one of the stapler type cutters from ebay for a couple of £. Done a few friends cards. If you search Google you can also get paper outlines which you cut with scissors but that's more risky.

Plymouth would be the nearest for me.

Like the idea of the cutter - but I'd only ever use it once so I guess if I can get it done by someone else for a quid that would be my best option.

The cutters are only £2.48 on eBay

Though I would presume almost all independent type phone shops would have one by now.
