    I might be getting a second hand iPhone 3GS but I want to know how do I organise a micro sim? Will I have to buy it or do I use my normal one or what?

    I can only vouch for what I did. I had a normal sim and when I switched to an iPhone I went into the vodastore and told them. They gave me a microsim for free. After that I just rang a number and they switched my phone number to the microsim for free.

    You don't need to change your sim at all if your buying an iPhone 3GS. The sim card in that is the regular size.

    The only reason you would need to change is if you were buying an iPhone 4, in which case you would have to get a micro sim card for it to operate. And as far as i know they are free provided you have your old sim card still.

    iPhone 3GS uses standard size sim card, so your existing network sim will work.
