I can confirm that I used my unlocked iPhone 4 with SO sim cut to microsim size. Also, the data works the same as it works with iPhone 2g and 3gs.

Could your itune in your PC accept the sim card when you connect iphone 4 with PC? I mean, could you transfer docs between iphone 4 with pc now?

not sure exactly what you are asking. iTunes will transfer all your video, photos, music and contacts. If you want to transfer other types of files, you will need to jailbreak, or get some desktop software like PhoneView.

Sweet! I've been thinking about doing this too.
How did you cut the SO SIM? ie. What steps? How did you know what to cut, what not to cut? etc Is there any way to "go back" once you cut it (ie. can you glue/tape it back together afterwards) in case I need to?

You'll find many tutorials on the web as to how to cut down a SIM, Google is your friend.

If you are to clutzy with a knife, then you can buy SIM cutters to do the job.

These usually come with an adapter to you can use as a regular SIM or a microSIM.

Thanks bro, I got it. I am a newbie, all I encountered is that My iphone 4 is unlocked but sim card is not accepted. But it is solved now. Now I could sync the phone with my pc without problems.
Thank you very much for your explanations.

Excuse the newbie question... I believe one of the phones that SO sells (Nokia 5130) uses a microSIM. Would it not be safer (for a klutz like me) to phone customer service and request (buy) a micro SIM rather than fiddling around with cutters?
And also, does anyone know for sure if the iPhone 4 and the iPad use interchangeable SIMs?
cheers

That would be easier, but speakout will not sell you a sim. You'll need to buy the phone to get a sim.

I am already a SO customer. My understanding is that I can get a replacement SIM for $25. My question is whether I can order a microSIM rather than a regular SIM that my current SO phone has.
Thanks

Are you confusing the 5130's micro SD memory card with a SIM?

Well, if it works, that's good to hear, I hope to order a replace one too. But the point is, is that possible for both sim cards to work at the same time? I think SO would just suspend yr old one and only one card works at all time. Then it is meaningless to "order" a new one: by cutting a regular card then save you $25.00, would that be easier?

If my future usage justifies upgrading to a better phone than the basic 1661 that I now have, I will not care that the original SIM is deactivated.
It boils down to the fact that I don't trust my skills with an xacto knife.

I am a chicken and do not like wielding a cleaver around electronic cards so I purchased a sim cutter on ebay for around $7. Click, clunk and done... If you can find one and are a clutz - cut your sim card with this...

I cut down a SIM and I am using it successfully in an iPad but when I put it into the iPhone 4 I get "Invalid SIM" in the title bar and also a "SIM Failure" popup error message.

can you read the SIM MCCID(or something like that) in iPhone ? If not, it could be your SIM issue, may be reposition it ?

When I reposition the card, I can see an ICCID and half a bar of signal. But calling and texting fail and Settings shows my number as "Unknown"

it could be just cutting issue then. FYI, I also cut my own SIM and my# also is shown as unknown, no idea why. But it never failed me both in data and voice/sms.
EDIT:
I assume your iPhone is unlocked.
