No, Speakout will definitely not offer a micro sim. But before you get too disappointed, it is quite easy to take a regular SO Sim and cut it down to the size of a micro sim. Many ipad users are already doing this.

I found an excellent example of modifying a regular sim and cutting it down to size:

Yeah, I'm not sure there will be many people dropping $800+ on an iP4, only to use the cheapest service in town.

i'm thinking that the iphone apps i can use via wifi and the cell service i use only occasionally. what else is there? email? I think Speakout has web browsing as well don't they?
I wont pay 60-80 dollars a month for cell service and data plan with a 3 year contract and a locked phone!

I understand what you want. I do the same thing with my iPhone on Spekout, but the iPhone 4 is a bit of a waste on this network. Get an iPhone 2G or 3Gs and use that. You will get the same performance out of either of those phones, as the Speakout Data is the limiting factor. You'll save a ton as well.

i am not sure what the new I4 will be selling for, but wouldn't it make sense to get the latest technology when buying a cell phone? I thought the new I4 has a better processor , os, etc. It may be a couple of hundred more, but since i am buying a new phone either way..... by the way is your phone jailbroken , or did you buy it unlocked? The new phones will be sold as unlocked from the apple store.

Yes, and no. Latest technology is only good if you can make use of it. Remember, on Speakout, your email app won't even work unless you are on wifi. For that, I kinda miss my old virgin pay and talk phone. Things like MMS and visual voicemail are useless on Speakout.
Im on a jailbroken 2G iphone currently. Cost $150, and given what I'm paying to operate it, I'm very happy. That said, no mail app and the fact that 2G data slows to a standstill daily in downtown Toronto, leaves me a little dissatisfied. I guess if everything worked as it should, all day, I'd be happy.
