    It's not late as you can cancel the order if you wish.
    You can try Talkmobile that use the same signal.

    Also Lebara.

    Thank you Grumbler, I wasn't aware of those providers carrying the same signal.

    Nor of that information around cancellation, I'll get on live chat now.

    Based on having spent the last 3 hours dealing with Vodafone, I'm no longer convinced what I intend on doing is a good idea, but here goes.

    What I want to do is purchase a new phone on a contract micro sim then take the sim out, transfer the new number to a standard sim, then put this into a blackberry.

    Is that feasible and how simple is it to do? Thank you

    I already have a well established contract phone with vodafone, I just want another contract, but I'd be happy for the new phone too as it is
    only a few pounds dearer per month.

    My wife wants another phone for work, she won't use a smartphone, we tried before, and the compromise is the blackberry I have. But this involves transferring the new number from a micro sim to a standard sim.

    Hope I've made sense, many thanks

    Just incase you didn't know.

    There are SIM only contracts, where you purchase minutes etc (just without the phone). This would give you the SIM size you want and for a few £ less.

    THere are also SIM adaptors available on ebay. Not sure I would want one long term, but anyway...
    .


    I've been using a nano sim with a Noosy adapter ever since the iPhone 5 came out as a I swap between phones when working. I've never had a problem using them, just don't use the really cheap quality adapters as the sim can fall out.

    These are the ones I use:
