After I cut a SIM card to make it compact can I use it again as a full size SIM?

    It's about time sim sizes were standardised - this is one reason why I ditched apple because they used non standard sims!

    Here here - I wrecked my mifi with a super duper sim adaptor I bought - the lip to hold the sim caught the sim reader - not pretty!

    Why don't you just pop into a Tesco store and they will give you a new smaller sim.

    OK if you can list any non apple phones that use a nano sim I will make a note to avoid buying them.

    A number of newer phones do, so you might want to avoid Samsung, HTC, Sony, Nokia, Motorola, Asus, Amazon and Vertu as well as Apple.

    If you want to see all the various models, go to GSMArena, and search with the advanced search with "nanosim" ticked.
