Haven't tried it but be careful. One of the lads in work did it the other way around - put a Blackberry sim in a 3G modem and ran up a bill of €600 in about half an hour :eek:

Blackberry uses a different access point to the Modem. That's why he ran up the bill. He should have read up on it before he tried it.

As for popping your broadband SIM in your iPhone it should work without issue. Just set your APN to internet or open.internet on the iPhone (probably already set from your previous O2 SIM). I would suggest not making calls or SMS as they will be charged at the highest possible rate.
