Setting up iPhone 5 without a SIM card...or Help me find a nano-SIM!

Hi all,

I'm waiting on delivery of a iPhone 5, and have just started worrying about the need for a nano sim for activation. Is it required by iTunes/iPhone/iOS 6?

The phone is an unlocked version, I don't have a US contract and can only get a pay as you go sim while I'm here in the US. what are my options.

I did consider getting a at&t nano sim off eBay in case it was required, and eventually activate it with a go phone number I have...

Otherwise I herd tmobile I heard are starting to sell nano sims...I heard speaking to customer service is the only way o get one sent to you...

Any suggestions are appreciated,

Ciao

Edit: An idea I had is to get an unactivated H2O wireless nanosim (they have good coverage here) as I can get one for 1$ shipped and cut down to a nano sim size, I'll just need to activate it if I want another US number..

Any other ideas?

Buy a regular Sim and cut it down yourself to size?

Just find a micro sim and cut it down to fit.

It just seems a bit silly to have to resort to DIY sim reduction with a phone that is worth a reasonable amount...

I'm surprised providers haven't got nano sims available for prepaid phones
