iPhone 4 - MicroSim

[Shankly]

I think this MicroSim is going to put me in a difficult situation... my mum is letting me have her upgrade on her contract as she doesn't want a new phone. So she will upgrade to the iPhone 4 and give it to me and keep her old phone.

However, now that these MicroSims are being used, does that mean the MicroSim that comes with the iPhone 4 will have her contract on it and not her old/current one?

How do I get around this? Thank you

Speak to your current provider. Most will send a MicroSim card to you.

I'm doing the same, after the phone arrives acivate the phone with your mom's info, go to ATT and ask for a regular sim card for your mom and let them know she decided to keep her old phone and wants to give you the 4 as a gift. Also ask for a micro sim for your new phone or cut it to fit the iphone 4

Thanks for the reply.

So if you cut a normal sim card then it works in the iPhone 4? I was planning to buy one of those sim-only contracts so if I do that and then cut it into the size of a MicroSim, it will work?

Some people have reported success, but I would not try it myself. Much easier to speak to the carrier themselves.

Is what I'm doing allowed? (mum upgrading and giving me the phone)

If I ring up and explain the situation, will they say anything against it?

As long as someone is paying the bill Im sure they wont mind!

as long as your mom is willing to sign the 2 year contract and py the monthly fees, ATT can't decide who keeps the phone.
