Hey guys,

I used an iPhone unlock service which has deemed my iP5 unlocked, but I have no real way of testing it unless I can get my hands on a non-at&t SIM.

I have cleared one hurdle by finding that you can DIY modify a micro-SIM (ie. on the iP4 and iP4s) to a nano-SIM (http://asia.cnet.com/can-you-convert-a-micro-sim-into-a-nano-sim-62218746.htm and http://asia.cnet.com/hacked-iphone-5-nano-sim-thickness-doesnt-matter-62218820.htm).

The real question I have is, what is the best way to get my hands on a non-at&t micro-sim that I can put the least amount of $ in. I checked out t-mobile's site and it asks for at least 30-40 bucks...

Adding just the micro-sim itself is a dollar, but it requires a plan to be added before the transaction can complete. Sigh...


Thanks for any help!
