Cutting my old SIM down to Micro Sim
I have just had another email from O2 not answering my question about whether the new sim is an upgrade, they simply refer me to their website.
Everything I read on the O2 website refers to Upgrading to the Iphone 4, I am by nature a very suspicious person, so I'll stick with my no risk Sim chop as I do hope to get an Ipad at some time and it would be nice to use the same sim in both.
On a lighter note, I am very excited about getting the new phone, it will be a major upgrade from my old 3g

Next thing they'll be saying is that volcano insurance is included on simplicity tariffs
Cutting my old SIM down to Micro Sim
Just found this O2 page, why does it only refer to Upgarding to Iphone 4 even if you are an existing O2 monthly customer, it's all very confusing.

Hey guys.
went to a o2 store and I asked for a micro sim.
She asked to see my email and then asked was there any reference number with that email! Obviously o2 have had little or no communication or maybe she was just misinformed. My email was a in store reservation with Apple.
Anyway she logged my details and handed over a micro sim. Just registered it on o2's website and I'm just waiting for it to swap over.
Anyway.
P4U were tacking these up outside there shop. On the way back the shop and bus stop opposite were just covered with them.

I hope you don't get your ID stolen by giving them your address for your 'free sim'
It's a con, a scam, false, zilch, no go.... but up to you to believe it really is O2, and you're that special !!!
Nope, picked up a microsim from the Sheffield O2 store. They did the transfer for me in the shop and everything including visual voicemail was switched over and works the same.
The only difference I've noticed on my account is that I now have an additional bolt on (£40 oversees data limit) which I'm pretty sure wasn't there this morning.
BUT my mate got a call from a guy last night i cant remember the number, he paid £5 a month extra for volcano insurance... ITS TRUEEEEE believe me
bahahah

So your current contract is now on a microSIM? no need to switch to the wallet raping new contracts?
Well, at least ONE person we know of believes it.
Although, some guy has posted what looks like an order page screen grab on the O2 forum... he has the nickname "dodgy"
It's really not that hard to understand.
If you are buying an iPhone 4 from o2 you have you buy it with a contract so if you are an existing customer you have to upgrade - simple as that
4AM on Tuesday if i'm not mistaken
Just surprised that we're not ready for shipment yet, but no concerns whatsoever.
yep.. friends and family discount means I only pay £13.99 a month which is a bargain really.

Don't you just sometimes get the feeling that 'the scammed' just deserve to get scammed?
No matter how much you tell them it's a scam, they don't believe you !!

Where've you got 4am from?
You will see. I just phoned again. 02 platinum. Is genuine.
Also note a change in insurance. Still £15 a month but excesses on a rising scale depending on how many times you claim in a year.
Sounds very expensive.
And no I can't do a screen shot. Am out. Typing this on my phone.
I don't lie nor have I been scammed. Was only trying to offer some help to others.
It will come in the wash. I have been a member here for a while never posted bs and I am not stupid enough to fall for scams

I give up. Buy your phone for mega bucks from Apple = you can keep your current calling plan. Buy your phone from O2 at a subsidy = they will upgrade you to a new plan. Simples.
but all this iPhone 4 excitement, Rick Astley's new single is very good, if your bored checking your order status'
(im 16 and his last single was 17 years ago - im impressed by the old man )
