    Particularly handy if you want to use the US Ipad 3G in the UK:

    Re: Convert a SIM to a MicroSIM with a Meat Cleaver

    When I saw the original post, I thought you were talking about turning the "credit card" into the smaller sim package used by ?all? phones these days. I use to have a phone which, had a credit card sized holder, when I needed a smaller one, one2one just sent me a new sim, with a break out section, I am sure they would do the same with these "microsims", so long as they are a standard.
    (\__/) All I wanted in the end was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend. - NMA

    It's a dodgy photo, but that's exactly what AT&T are doing



    AT&T's micro SIM card is the matryoshka doll of micro SIM cards
