    Hi,

    As above really. If I have an iphone purchased under bill pay can I use it for a PAYG sim? The PAYG sim is the same network as the iphone.

    Cheers.

    Yes, sim cards from the same network be it payg or bill pay will work on the phone.

    Thanks, do you know if the PAYG sim would need to be updated or anything?

    No, only if you buy an iPhone 4 then it will need a micro sim. VF will supply them.

    Hmm... from doing a bit of research online it would appear that a micro sim wont work in normal phones. This is a bit awkward for me as I'd likely be changing between the iphone 4 and a normal phone.

    I doubt vodafone will be willing to issue me with two sim cards.

    You can get micro sim adaptors, it basically turns your micro sim into a regular sim. eBay is littered with them!
