iPhone/Android switcheroo help?

TheJoebocop

Hello, today I had this idea and I'd like to know if it would work?

So my sister wants an iPhone but is locked in a 60 euro p/m contract with O2 and cant get a different phone. I have an iPhone 4 on a 40 euro p/m contract with three, but recently bought a android tablet and fell in love with the OS.

So if she were to pay me 229 euro, I'd unlock my iPhone, give it to her and do this to her sim http://microsim-shop.com/making-your-own-microsim.html

With the 229 euro I would go into O2 and buy this http://www.o2online.ie/o2/shop/phones/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-r800/130/

And then do *this* to my current micro sim...

Would it work and would we stay on the same contracts with the same benefits etc,?

Yep should work fine. You may need to enter apn settings on the android phone to get the Internet to work.

Also, you'd probably have to unlock the android phone. Should be easy to do for free - check xdadevelopers.com for rooting and unlocking instructions

Your networks should give ye new sims for free with no change to contracts too if you don't fancy cutting hers/buying an adapter for yours. Of course having a microsim in an adapter means you can use somebody else's iPhone easily if you need to borrow a mobile.
