    So I'm just after realizing that the iphone 4s that I bought my wife needs a microsim. She will open it tomorrow and won't be able to do anything with it... Is there anything I can do to get it working for her?

    You can cut one. I cut mine - it didn't look great (edges had small debris left), but it worked. I just didn't want to wait the 2 days for a microSIM, and she probably won't either. So it'd do temporarily until you got a "factory-made" one.

    It helps if you have one to match against/use as a template, but I just went for it with a ruler.

    You are a saint! I'm off to give the sim a hair cut. Thanks bud. Boards rocks!!!

    flip this vertically in paint, print it, cut it out and stick it to the back of your current sim card, the cut out the inside template.
