    Is there anyone in the city with a sim croppers for accurately trimming a standard sim to fit an IPhone 4.?

    I believe some phone shops have them.

    I am not paying 02 e16 for a replacement micro sim as I was quoted today.

    seriously o2 charge for a micro sim? that's hilarious. being serious i'd just be a sim cutter online, any shop in town is going to charge you about 5 times the amount anyways.

    I'd presume the small shops in town would do it for a couple of euro. Takes 2 seconds with a tool that costs a fiver

    Yeah you should just get the template and cut it with a scissors. Thats crazy money to charge for a sim. Meteor offer one for like €2.99.

    Three just replaced mine when I asked. Or at least offered to, I didn't take them up on the offer at that stage as I was changing tariffs and just wanted to do one thing at a time in case anything went wrong (so I'd know what the problem was). When the tariff was sorted I just popped into a Carphone Warehouse and they gave me a micro sim to replace my cut one free of charge, Three provide them with free replacements in case a customer needs one. I'm amazed that O2 would be charging for a replacement. Have you checked with another shop? Maybe whoever tried to charge you misunderstood your request.....

    Is there any shop that can do the physical cut of the normal sim to micro sim ???
    I need to do this instead of getting the sim coverted from normal to micro

    Thanks
