+Byt Subscriber¹ Posted February 2, 2012 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 2, 2012 Once you activate a micro-sim and transfer your number over to the micro-sim, the original sim becomes useless *i think* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnpt Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You can buy a little adaptor which will allow you to use the microsim in a normal sized slot. Sometimes comes free with the cutters you can buy on ebay. (Spork) 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHaze420 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You should be able to just go into a ATT store and obtain a new micro SIM. :) Although as stated above, if you then intend to port your number and plan across from your standard-sized SIM then that chip will then become useless.

Shadrack Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 i have a data plan and a family plan Considering you already have a data plan and intend to keep it, I would suggest that you go to an AT&T store for a new microsim. On the other hand, if you were wanting to use the iPhone 4 w/o a dataplan my recommendation would be to cut your existing SIM so that AT&T is not in the loop. I'm not sure how long you would be able to get away with it though. If AT&T figured out somehow that you were using an iPhone they would add the data plan for you. This obviously doesn't apply to you but is a mere FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just buy a microsim -> SIM adapter. I picked one up off of Amazon for $2 (its just a piece of plastic). Tested it and it works fine. I'm able to use the adapter to swap the microsim between my iphone 4 and iPhone 3gs. The only issue I've had with this is that my AT&T 3G MicroCell at work does not let my iPhone 3GS on. Must be checking stuff beyond the SIM and my phone number (although you enter the phone numbers to set up the MicroCell...I dunno). If you don't have a 3G MicroCell then you shouldn't have a problem.
